Jiva Breathwork Facilitator Training

Jiva Breathwork Facilitator Training – 2026

Program Overview

JIVA Breathwork is a transformative healing modality designed to release physical tension, process emotions, and facilitate profound spiritual experiences. This empowering practice supports self-healing by accessing childhood, birth, past-life memories, and transpersonal dimensions, offering a path to greater wholeness and self-discovery.

Inspired by Stanislav Grof’s work on holotropic states, JIVA Breathwork uses faster, deeper breathing to help participants explore their unconscious mind, bringing forward emotionally significant material for healing.

The JIVA Breathwork Facilitator Training is a structured 8-module program that combines experiential learning, intensive self-work, and training in trauma and transpersonal healing. This comprehensive approach equips participants to guide others in transformative breathwork sessions.

Prerequisites

Before enrolling, participants must attend at least one JIVA Breathwork workshop, either in Auroville or facilitated by K.C. Thomas in cities like Bangalore, Delhi, or Mumbai.

Why I have joined the JIVA Breathwork facilitator training

Coming out of two and half hours of my inward journey, drawing my experience with baby strokes of a wobbly crayon held in the wrong hand, I just knew this is what I want to do. I knew that this work guided by none other than each one’s inner healer is simplicity itself. I knew that all the hours of therapy, guided visualizations of blissful pastures, all the most difficult postures in Yoga could not compare with this. In JIVA breathwork, one just close the eyes and breathes and listens and one`s consciousness does the rest. All we have to do is let our bodies go. And sometimes that takes time and is so worth learning.I realize I have done about 12 sessions in the space of two and half months. I sleep better, have made strides in accepting and expressing anger in healthy ways, listen and absorb more in my spiritual studies and all this for one who was anyway on the path. Deeply grateful and immensely excited about the possibilities of this work for those I coach and counsel as well as anyone who is open to considering this experience whether to heal or to take their spiritual connection to the next level.
