IBF Professional Membership welcomes:

– Certified Conscious Connected Breathwork Practitioners (see more: who have completed approximately 400 hours of training over a minimum of 2 years, supervised in-person facilitation of clients, and are committed to ongoing personal development and breathing practice).

– Certified Breathwork Practitioners (see more: who have been certified with a breathwork qualification (training and apprenticeship) that meets the minimum requirements set out by their national/international organisation or training school).

– Breathworkers (see more: professionals of other disciplines who use Breathwork as an additional tool in their work e.g. yoga pranayama teachers, who have completed approximately 50 hours and 9 months of breathwork training).

IBF Professional Membership is self-nominated by the individual. Professional Members should hold a relevant certificate from a breathwork training programme or school, which endorses them to practise within their ethical standards and scope of training.

People still in training should select Individual Membership.

IBF does not check certificates, honouring the integrity of our members. The Professional Membership profile creates space for detailed information about training and experience in practice to be provided.

If you have Global Professional Breathwork Alliance accreditation status, please register as a Professional Member and then email info@ibfbreathwork.org to request that it be displayed on your profile. IBF checks GPBA status before displaying it on a member profile.

All IBF Professional Members agree to practise within the IBF Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards.
