Why Is Coaching breathing with science-based tools and holistic focus so important?
Breath is the main tool to affect the nervous system. Through breath, regulating the nervous system and stress levels becomes available to anyone!
Breath can be used consciously, but getting a grasp of the deeper dimensions of the breath is essential for building an authentic connection to oneself and eventually, healing on all levels.
The world of breathwork is vast. There is a lot of misinformation and myths out there. To base your breathing toolbox on knowledge of science, physiology and somatic psychology, will benefit you and your clients in the long run.
Breathing patterns affect your self-esteem, confidence and efficiency of communication. Breathing is essential in how you express yourself and how you can relate to other people on a more profound level.
A human being is not a machine. Intensive emotions, traumas, past experiences and dissociation from the body are all visible in one’s breathing patterns. When you affect the breath, you affect the whole being. It is important to learn to appreciate the breath from different perspectives.
Sleeping problems, anxiety, fear, concentration problems, digestive issues, hypertension and low energy can be efficiently treated with breathing tools.
Through breathing, one can build both physiological and psychological resilience - the ability to surf on life's waves and strengthen. Good resilience equals to good performance capacity (in any area of life).
Dysfunctional breathing habits correlate strongly with various chronic conditions and disorders. There is a strong need for high-quality breath coaching! Health care professionals, coaches, yoga teachers and bodyworkers need to know how to guide breathing.
As dysfunctional breathing habits very often cause excess tension in the body, it is essential to know some basic somatic practices for releasing and restoring balance.
Not all opt for meditation as a calming, restoring practice. Still practices will bring up a lot of anxiety and unease among a great part of the population. Skillful use of the breath can be a much more accessible practice for many.
Let your free and functional breath flow!

Whom Is This Not For?
Som holistisk helseveileder og yoga terapeut er jeg alltid nysgjerrig på kunnskap, metoder og verktøy for å utføre jobben min til det beste for de som er i behov av min tjeneste.
Breath Coach Training med Sanni er noe av det mest nyttige og ikke minst nødvendige å lære, forstå og formidle akkurat nå. Sanni har en enorm kapasitet, er en fantastisk formidler og et oppkomme av kunnskap. Dette er en utdanning med høy faglig kvalitet, solid forankret i internasjonale studier og evidensbaserte metoder.
Dette er en komplett utdanning som dekker alle nivå og alle tema når det kommer til helsefremmende arbeid med pusten i fokus. Både i forebyggende perspektivet, for å endre, heale og reparere uheldige helsemønster, samt for rekreasjon og restitusjon.
For meg personlig ble denne utdanningen et vendepunkt. Jeg trodde jeg pustet dypt, jeg trodde jeg var i god helseform. Helt til jeg startet opp med å utforske teori og praksis i eget liv. Mitt forhold til pusten er før og etter Breath Coach utdanningen.

Testimonials
I'm super grateful for this course! I'm a performing dance artist that has struggled with long-term fatigue. I joined the course to get a deeper knowledge about breath and health in hopes of understanding myself better. The combination of theory and practice has been really helpful in connecting all the threads of information, to understand the functions of breathing in both an embodied and intellectual way.
Throughout the course I gained more and more consciousness around my own breathing. I learned that I have a habit of chronic hyperventilation and unconscious breath holds, and inhibited movement in my diaphragm. By implementing things I learned in the course in to my daily life, I can now finally find rest and calmness in my breathing. I feel more grounded in myself and have more tools to regulate my nervous system. This is really important knowledge and I feel inspired to bring it forward to more people.
Sanni is a great teacher with lots of knowledge and heart. During the course we got introduced to different traditions and methods of breathwork, and always with focus on functionality. I really liked Sanni's focus on science without losing the spiritual aspect of breathing. We also had a few guest teachers that talked from their expertise which gave an even wider view of the field of breathing. I really recommend the breath coach training and I think it's relevant for everyone that are interested.

Highly recommend this course. Sanni is a wonderful teacher, extremely insightful, open and humble. A transformation not to be missed.
- NICOLA MARSH
Jeg meldte meg på kurset for å kunne tilby mine pasienter pusteveiledning i deres angstbehandling og også for egenhjelp og -trening i en travel hverdag.
Allerede etter første samling kjente jeg på min egen kropp at den ble mykere, jeg fikk mer energi og jeg merket ikke at vi gikk inn i mørketida på samme måte som tidligere år. Gjennom 5 samlinger på 5 måneder har vi gjort dypdykk i vitenskapen om pust. Sanni er en meget kunnskapsrik foreleser- hun belyser temaet pust fra ulike fagmiljøer rundt om i verden - fra vesten og østen.
Vi elever har med oss en tung teoretisk bagasje etter denne vinteren. Samtidig er vi trent til å videreformidle hvordan pust og bevegelse gir mer harmoni i kroppen. Og til slutt, å kunne veilede enkeltindivider med deres puste-utfordringer.
Jeg vil absolutt anbefale dette kurset . Det er mange preparater i husapoteket vi kan kaste når vi får lært oss selvregulering ved bruk av pusten vår. Takk Sanni, takk!
- KJELLRUN REITAN NORDTØMME
Min opplevelse var at dette var en bred og godt forberedt utdanning som gikk i dybden på pustens unike muligheter i forhold til egen og andres helse. Anbefales på det varmeste.
- MERETE OLAUSSEN
Jeg tok kurset både for å få flere verktøy å bruke i jobben min, men også for min egen del. Kurset har vært svært nyttig. En grundig gjennomgang av temaet pust, av en engasjert og svært dyktig lærer. En god kombinasjon av teori og praksis som har gitt meg en forståelse av hvordan pusten kan være et verktøy for å få en bedre hverdag. Vil absolutt anbefale kurset til andre.
- VERA
Jeg meldte meg på reisen sammen med Sanni da jeg kom over kurset på IG. En reise jeg er veldig takknemlig for at jeg valgte å hoppe på. Transformerende i den grad at jeg ikke kan vente til å dele og gi mennesker muligheten til å finne sitt «pusteavtrykk» og hvordan komme i kontakt med seg selv på fantastisk vis.
Innholdet til Sanni har vært gjennomgående tydelig, har tyngde og vært veldig informativt. Jeg føler jeg har fått teori og praksis i skjønn forening. Sanni er tydelig hele veien og kommer tilbake til helheten hele veien. Hun deler inn teorien godt, men tar oss alltid tilbake til det store bildet og sammenhengen mellom pust, kropp, sjel, natur og alle deres sykluser. Lærerne som følger oss på reisen sammen med Sanni gir kurset enda et løft. Vi er innom alt det nødvendige, biokjemi, biomekanikk, anatomi, fysiologi, hvor pusten er senteret hele veien. Med øvelser og praksis som gjenspeiler teorien og gir kroppen en ro og kontakt til vårt indre.
Tusen tusen takk for reisen med deg og de andre kursdeltakerne, Sanni. En sann glede, som har gitt meg verktøy for alle livets nedturer og oppturer!! Jeg anbefaler kurset til alle som har et ønske om å ta et dypdykk inn i denne fantastiske verden.
