This intensive, 6-month, trauma-sensitive transpersonal program goes beyond a typical Breathwork Facilitator training. It is a profound personal growth journey that will beautifully shape you and give you self-awareness and self-acceptance. It includes more than 200 hours – a carefully designed on-site training* combined with virtual and in-person support and inter-module check-ins. During this certified program, you will be nurtured and empowered within your group to unleash the full potential of your true essence. Before this teacher training, we also offer ‘Sanctuary of Stillness’, an essential and comprehensive online course on Breathwork and Pranayama (full training comes to 8 – 9 months) so that you have a solid foundation before embarking on this transpersonal journey.
Marc Grüninger created the Naikando Method® on these 3 pillars: Self Inquiry – Transpersonal Breathwork – Sound & Frequency. The method is based on Conscious Connected Breathing / Conscious Energy Breathwork, a technique that dates back to the 1970s and was developed by Leonard Orr and deals intensively with the topics of immortality and rebirth. Central to this method is circular breathing, which forms the basis for a powerful personal development tool that can bring about profound changes in consciousness.
By integrating elements of frequency and sound therapy, Marc has enriched the Naikando Method® with the use of tuning forks and conscious ‘toning’ through the voice, the latter especially in deep meditative states. This innovative approach enhances the method’s ability to heal itself. You will thus acquire additional, independent coaching tools and a solid foundation to become a trauma-informed Transformational Guide.
The program covers various techniques in the field of transpersonal psychology, nervous system regulation, breathwork and sound therapy and enables you to determine the most appropriate tools for your clients in preparation for transpersonal breathwork sessions.The Transformational Guide & Breathwork Training is an incomparable journey to the Self and the first Facilitator Teacher Training of its kind in Switzerland and beyond, combining Breathwork, Sound Healing and Frequency Therapy with transpersonal modalities in one unit. It is a teacher training in the truest sense of the word, in which participants are guided and empowered from the very beginning to connect with their potential and their unique inner teacher.
