Expanded States Breathwork™
In-person Breathwork Teacher Training in Ibiza
4 days in-person: 10-13 of September, 2026
APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN. EARLY BIRD PRICING.
Expanded States Breathwork™ is a trauma-informed method that guides people into altered states through conscious breathing, somatic awareness, and attuned presence — creating space for what’s ready to be seen, felt, or released.
Altered states. Real insights. Felt truth.
This in-person training is for those who feel called to hold deeper spaces — to work with breath, body, energy, and consciousness in a way that is safe, intuitive, and anchored in loving presence. It’s your path to sharing psychedelic-style breathwork — no substances, only expanded states from within.
In their words…
“You don't just learn how to facilitate. You experience what it means to truly hold space.
I came into the training expecting to deepen my understanding of breath and learn new facilitation techniques — what I didn't anticipate was how much it would change me on a personal level.
I left with a deeper awareness of breathwork and space holding, a greater capacity to sit with discomfort, and a more grounded, honest way of showing up for others.”
─ Heather was facilitating Breathwork prior to Expanded States Training
“It humbled me even more to the power of the work.
I learnt so much more than I expected. My existing knowledge was factual and information-based — this training was so much more somatic and intuitive, which is exactly what I needed.”
─ Ian: a trained Breathwork Facilitator in other modalities, sound therapist, and in a process of obtaining a degree in Psychotherapy
Safety is the core modality here -
everything else builds from that.
THIS TRAINING IS FOR YOU IF…
// if you are a therapist, coach, facilitator, healer & already trained in other modalities (this is not a beginner level training).
// You feel called to guide others through breathwork and want to work with expanded states safely and skillfully.
// You want to widen your current offerings — whether you work in coaching, somatics, bodywork, wellness, ceremony, therapy, yoga, or creative facilitation.
// You’re drawn to a method that blends the science of breath and the nervous system with the mystical depth of altered states.
// You learn best through in-person, hands-on practice — breathing together, guiding each other, and receiving real feedback.
// You want to start teaching while you’re learning, building true space-holding experience.
// You value an immersive community where we explore, practice, and grow together.
// You’re ready to strengthen your confidence and trust in yourself as you guide others through deep, expanded-state work.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Trauma-Informed Foundations
Recognise nervous system cues, pacing, boundaries, consent, and how to keep expanded-state sessions safe and grounded.
Guiding Altered States Without Substances
Work with breath, rhythm, sound, and attunement to open expanded states where insight, memory, and emotional release can arise.
Somatic + Emotional Release Support
Track tension, movement, tears, sound, and energy — supporting emotional expression without forcing catharsis.
Energetic + Intuitive Facilitation
Work with subtle energy, presence, and the field. Learn to sense when to guide, when to soften, and when to step back.
Voice + Verbal Guidance
Develop a voice that builds trust — using tone, pacing, silence, and rhythm as tools for safety and depth.
Touch + Hands-On Support And Consent
Learn grounding, supportive touch and when to use it appropriately and ethically.
Music + Journey Architecture
Design playlists that follow the emotional arc of a session — from takeoff to intensity to integration.
Integration + Closing
Support meaning-making, emotional landing, and nervous system settling so sessions become turning points, not just experiences.
Finding Your Own Style as a Facilitator
Learn how to make the practice your own to offer breathwork journeys that feel genuine, intuitive, and uniquely yours.
About
Jelena
I’m a certified Rebirthing Breathwork practitioner, trauma-informed facilitator, and IFS-informed therapist, with advanced teacher training through Dan Brulé’s BreathMastery School — one of the pioneers of modern breathwork and author of Just Breathe.
Over the years, I’ve developed an intuitive way of working with breath that blends conscious connected breathing with energetics, somatic awareness, voice activation, and curated musical journeys. This approach guides people into deep, expanded states that are safe, grounded, and transformative.
This evolution is what became the Expanded States Breathwork™ Method — a trauma-informed, presence-based way of guiding non-ordinary states of consciousness without substances.
I’ve guided hundreds of breathwork journeys across Europe and Mexico, and what I teach now is shaped by years of witnessing how people open, release, resist, soften, and return to themselves through the breath. My intention is simple: to help you feel confident, steady, and prepared to hold others in the depth of this work.
