A four-month accelerated training that begins with twenty-one days living the practice at ASHA, our land-based school in Tuscany, then continues online with mentorship and support. You graduate ready to hold this work, in person and online, with a globally recognized certification behind you. It starts with your own healing.
An honest conversation about where you are. The call is free and carries no obligation.
2,000+ certified facilitators have trained with us, from nurses and therapists to yoga teachers, coaches, and people who simply felt called.
For most of my early life I lived inside a story I had not written. The breath is what gave me a pen. Before I was twenty, I had found my way to conscious breathing, and I have spent the more than fifty years since following where it leads.
I have watched this work meet people in boardrooms and classrooms and in the hardest hours of their lives. And I have watched a particular kind of person arrive at our door: someone who has read the books, taken the courses, sat in the circles, and felt a quiet certainty that they are meant to offer this to others. If that is you, I want you to know the feeling is not a mistake.
Some of this work asks for a room, a fire, a circle breathing the same air. That is what the residential is for. Twenty-one days at ASHA, with our trainers beside you, learning this the only way it can truly be learned: by living it. Come and breathe with us.
You have done the online courses and the weekend workshops. You have breathed yourself through things you could not name. And somewhere in all of it, a thought arrived and would not leave: maybe I am meant to do this work.
Then the second voice arrives. You are not qualified enough. Not experienced enough. Not the type. You tell yourself you will wait until you are ready, and the years keep their quiet count. Online study took you a long way, then it set you down at a threshold it could not carry you across.
The threshold is real. So is the way through. That is what this training is for.
This is a four-month accelerated Breathwork Facilitator Training. It opens with twenty-one days of live, in-person learning at ASHA in Tuscany, where you breathe the practice daily and learn to hold it for others. It continues for roughly three months online, with mentorship, study, and continued support, until you graduate fully certified.
You will not leave with a feel-good weekend and a certificate to match. You will leave able to guide individual and group sessions, grounded in ethics, anatomy, and lived practice, carrying a certification that is recognized across the breathwork field.
Hands-on, in-person training in a small circle, breathing and facilitating daily under close supervision.
Your learning settles into practice with continued teaching, mentorship, and the support of your circle.
Graduate able to guide in person and online, ethically compliant, with triple-accredited certification behind you.
The call is the first step. We will talk it through, honestly, before anything else.
Plenty of trainings teach about breathwork. This one asks you to live it, in a place and a circle built for depth.

You cannot lead another person anywhere you have not been willing to go yourself. So we start with you.Anthony Abbagnano · Founder, Alchemy of Breath
More than fifty years with the breath, and author of Outer Chaos, Inner Calm. His life's work and methods shape everything taught in this training.
Naturopath and medical medium who blends breathwork, intuition, the body, and voice into a joyful, grounded approach to healing.
A senior trainer of many years, steady and deeply experienced, who has held countless circles through this work and will support you closely throughout.
It creates the space for deep insight, connection, and transformation in a safe and loving container. I deeply recommend Alchemy of Breath as an incredible experience to harness the power of true presence.
An hour later, I knew this had just turned my life around. I feel like my heart has opened up again for the first time in decades, and the training group has become a new little community for all of us.
Breathwork continues to open doors, and the training allows me to fully investigate and be supported in my experiences. I feel like I am growing and opening toward life's untapped potential.
I have sat with thousands of people at the start of this work, and the doubt is almost always the same. They worry they have not done enough, or healed enough, or that everyone else in the circle will somehow be further along.
Here is what I have learned. The ones who become the finest facilitators are rarely the most polished when they arrive. They are the ones willing to be honest, to go first into their own depths, and to be held while they do it. That can be taught. That is what these twenty-one days are for.
You do not need to be ready in the way you imagine. You need to be willing. If something in you has been leaning toward this for a while, let us simply talk. No pressure, no performance. Just an honest conversation about where you are and where you might go.
The call is free and carries no obligation.
The residential is held at ASHA Retreat & Community Centre in Tuscany, Italy, surrounded by forests, vineyards, and a thriving garden. Twenty-one days is intensive, so the days are built with real rest and integration woven through them. The land itself, an environment of deep peace and natural beauty, is part of the teaching.
There is time by the pool, time to walk to the wild hot springs at Bagni San Filippo nearby, and time to wander the medieval streets of the towns close by. You arrive to learn. You also get to be nourished while you do.
The Alchemy of Breath Facilitator Training is accredited by the Federation of Holistic Therapists, the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance, and the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. We are recognized as one of the most thoroughly certified breathwork institutions in the world.

Alchemy of Breath is the first online breathwork school in the world, founded by Anthony Abbagnano. For more than a decade, we have guided well over a million people toward the place inside where clarity, connection, and peace already live. Our practice combines effective breathwork patterns from traditions around the world into one trauma-informed system.
We are triple accredited by the Federation of Holistic Therapists, the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance, and the American Association of Drugless Practitioners, and a proud member of the International Breathwork Foundation. More than 2,000 certified facilitators have trained with us and now hold this work in their own communities.
It is a full facilitator training. Over four months, you learn to guide breathwork for individuals and groups, grounded in anatomy, ethics, neuroscience, and supervised practice. You graduate with a triple accredited, globally recognized Alchemy of Breath certification, not a weekend certificate. The residential setting in Tuscany is the container for the learning, not the point of it.
You are welcome exactly where you are. The people who thrive here are not the most polished on arrival, they are the most willing. You will be held and supported from your very first session, in a small group built for close attention. If you are unsure about readiness, that is one of the things the discovery call is for.
It is a four-month accelerated training. It opens with twenty-one days live and residential at ASHA in Tuscany, then continues for roughly three months online with study, mentorship, and continued support, until you graduate as a certified facilitator.
The next live residential runs September 27 to October 17, 2026. The residential is offered twice a year, in spring and autumn. [The spring 2026 residential, May 10 to 30, has already taken place. Please confirm the next spring date, likely 2027, so we can list it here.]
Yes. The training is triple accredited by the Federation of Holistic Therapists, the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance, and the American Association of Drugless Practitioners, and Alchemy of Breath is a member of the International Breathwork Foundation. Your certification is recognized internationally and lets you practice both in person and online.
Many people ask this, and most find that stepping fully out of ordinary life is exactly what makes the work possible. Twenty-one undivided days, away from the noise, held in one place, is the gift, not the obstacle. We are glad to help you think through the practicalities on your call.
It is an honest, no-pressure conversation, usually around thirty minutes. We learn where you are and what is calling you, answer your questions about the training, the dates, the certification, and the investment, and help you sense whether this is the right step. You leave with clarity, whatever you decide.
The days are full and intentionally structured, with teaching, practice, and rest woven through them, and the group stays together throughout. [Please confirm the daily schedule outline and the policy on arriving late or leaving early for this 21-day residential, so we can answer this accurately.]
We strongly recommend travel insurance to cover any unforeseen change in your plans. [Please confirm the exact deposit, refund, and transfer policy for the residential facilitator training before publishing, as the current live page reuses BreathCamp wording.]
All participants stay on-site at ASHA, so the circle stays together throughout the residential. [Please confirm the room types offered, what each includes, and pricing, so we can list shared and private options here.]
Nourishing meals are provided on-site at ASHA throughout the residential. [Please confirm exactly which meals are included with room and board, and whether anything is arranged separately.]
We do our best to accommodate most dietary requirements. Please share yours on your intake form once you enroll, so the ASHA kitchen can prepare for you. There is also a small shop in the nearby village for any specialty items you prefer to bring yourself.
The residential is an intensive training in a small, held circle, so the days are reserved for participants. [Please confirm whether a non-participating partner can stay nearby or on-site, and any cost, so we can answer this clearly.]
[Please confirm the pet policy at ASHA for the residential. Most residential trainings cannot accommodate pets, but we should state the actual policy.]
There is wifi at ASHA. Part of the value of the residential is stepping back from the everyday, so we gently encourage you to stay as present as you can while you are here. [Please confirm wifi coverage and any limits across the site.]
Comfortable layers for variable Tuscan weather, a journal, and anything that helps you feel at home in your body. A full preparation guide arrives in your inbox as your dates approach. [Please confirm the official packing list, including whether mats and blankets are provided.]
Rest and integration are built into the residential, and ASHA is a nurturing place to be cared for while you do deep work. [Please confirm whether optional well-being sessions, such as massage or bodywork, are offered during the 21-day facilitator training, and how they are booked and priced. The current live page may be carrying this section over from BreathCamp.]
[Pending the answer above: if optional sessions are offered, confirm how participants book them, who provides them, and the cost, so we can give a clear answer here.]
Most participants fly into Rome Fiumicino (FCO). From there you can reach ASHA by car, train, or a pre-arranged taxi. Full travel notes are sent once you are enrolled.
Renting a car is the most flexible option and makes it easy to reach the nearby towns and hot springs on rest time. If you prefer not to drive, take the train toward Chiusi-Chianciano Terme, the nearest station, and arrange onward transport from there. Many participants share rides through the group chat you join after enrolling.
From Chiusi-Chianciano Terme you can arrange a local taxi to ASHA. Il Postalino is the local taxi service many of our participants use. We will share the booking details and current guidance in your travel notes once you are signed up.
Yes. Once you enroll, you join a group chat where participants coordinate shared rides from Rome and from the train station, so arrivals are easier and you meet a few faces before you even reach the land.
Still have a question? Bring it to the call. That is what it is for.
Twenty-one intensive days, one small circle, learning from the founders and graduating certified. If something in you is leaning toward this, let us simply talk it through.
