WELCOME TO seven directions® BREATHWORK Facilitator Training
“The evolution of breathwork training for the birthing of a new humanity”
10 months with extended supervision - 400+ hours
fully accredited and certified
“Breath is the bridge between life and death”
Seven Directions® Breathwork holds a business vision of making intentional and significant contribution to the birthing of a new humanity. People are waking up but many are not yet clear what we are waking up to and the sense of chaos is real. As this new humanity is emerging, we intend that our training program makes a significant contribution to that change, therefore we are looking for students who are deeply committed to understanding that healing must go beyond the personal and shift into the communal, social and cultural if we are to become real agents for change in these transformational times.
As we stand in the eye of the storm, our connection with body and breath has never been more important. Breath is our first Medicine. From the moment we take our first inhale to the moment we offer our last, it is the constant companion to all of our personal evolutionary stories. By making our work within Seven Directions Breathwork very intentional, we align with the guiding principle of living in right relation with ourselves, each other and the Earth.
Through the training, we take our students on a deep personal initiatory excavation, understanding it is essential to know how to widen our capacity to support others in the safe exploration of body, mind and spirit via the breath, by first knowing ourselves. At the heart of our school sits our intention to cultivate facilitators who steward lasting, embodied change for individuals, communities, and our Mother, the Earth.
What we do
We teach conscious connected breathwork using an amalgamation of open mouth breathwork, functional nose breathing for those for whom CCB is not appropriate, and the use of somatic inquiry & intervention.. This provides a rich, client led, individually responsive, and uniquely tailored experience which can be adapted to meet the needs of every person who comes into your practice.
We ask for high levels of integrity and professional ethics from our faculty team and our students in support of the provision of exemplary, ethical, grounded practice. Our program is trauma and consent informed, recognising that our lived experiences impact people across cultures and lands very differently.
We are not here to simply turn out more breathworkers - we are here to:
Restore the sacred in healing practices.
Challenge cultural and systemic harm through personal and global nervous system education, and breathwork accessibility.
Understand the relationship between the personal nervous system and the planetary nervous system.
Cultivate facilitators who act from deep presence, clarity, humility, and care.
Acknowledge and aspire to decolonise wellness practices.
Hold strong integrity and ethics in the world of breathwork certification and practice.
Seven Directions® provides Facilitator and Practitioner levels of training with extended mentoring, CPD and other opportunities available, offering 400+ hours of highly respected, extremely thorough training.
WE ARE INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED & PROFESSIONALLY CREDIBLE.
Seven Directions® Breathwork Facilitator Training is accredited by the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance, the only international accrediting body specifically for breathwork training. In a field that is largely unregulated, this matters. GPBA accreditation is not easily granted and requires a minimum of 400+ hours of curriculum, structured supervision, and supervised client work embedded throughout, dedicated ethics training, and cultural competence integrated into the programme as standard. Seven Directions® Breathwork Training meets all of these criteria.
As a graduate, you are automatically eligible for an ethically compliant facilitator listing on the GPBA website, offering credentials that are recognised and trusted across the UK & Europe, North America, and internationally.
Please go to our training page for more info on upcoming dates and countries.
We are very proud to be an approved GPBA (Global Professional Breathwork Alliance) listed accredited school.
Seven Directions® Breathwork is also an organisational member of the IBF (International Breathwork Foundation) and Breathwork UK.
What is UNIQUE ABOUT seven directions® breathwork?
Our teachings are created with a commitment to the Sacred Circle as a healing path for humanity in these rapidly changing times - times where connection and community are perhaps more important than ever.
All members of the community we co-create are honoured for their personal ‘Medicine’, and as such we believe our clients also need individually tailored responses.
The other significant and unique aspect to our approach is that it' is positioned directly at the meeting point of SCIENCE and MYSTICISM, offering a wholly integrative and authentic way of working with the breath. We steer away from being overly weighted towards the scientific, which can become too theoretical and prescriptive, or overly biased towards the mystical which can become ungrounded and disembodied. We feel the combination of both aspects recognises important parts of our human experience which hold equal value so whether your dream is to work with addiction recovery, trauma support, consciousness expansion, better breathing or something entirely different, our program will support your goals.
This training offers a profoundly transformative journey which starts with you!
We welcome your inquiry
Seven Directions® breathwork is based upon the seven foundational pillars of:
RESPECT: FOR ALL BEINGS EVERYWHERE
EMBODIMENT: THE INTEGRATION OF LIVED EXPERIENCE
AUTHENTICITY: THE WILLINGNESS TO BE RADICALLY HONEST
VISION: HOW OUR WORK IMPACTS THE WORLD & WHAT WE GIVE BACK
INTEGRITY: WALKING YOUR PATH IN HUMILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
ALIGNMENT: CREATING LEGACY THAT HONORS YOUR UNIQUE ‘MEDICINE’
PURPOSE: STEPPING INTO THE CENTRE OF YOUR PERSONAL SACRED CIRCLE.
We tithe 5% of all of our main training program income to projects and individuals invested in protecting the planet and her people.
OUR business VISION
It is our intention to create a sense of Sacred Circle and reciprocity within our breathwork certification programs.
Most businesses operate in a hierarchical top-down way, but we choose to work with the energy of the Sacred Circle. This does not mean absence of leadership, but it does mean that we are here in support of each other in stepping into our greatness, bringing forward our unique strengths and gifts, and leaning into the strengths and gifts of others.
Many indigenous cultures and communities around the world sit in circle and engage in ceremony and active listening daily. Community recognises the inherent wisdom in the lived experience of Elders whilst also honouring the voices of the whole community. Elders are valued and respected. Children are valued and respected. Warriors and hunters are valued and respected. Mothers and fathers are valued and respected. Animals are valued and respected. The Earth is valued and respected.
Through your time with us, our intention is to support your learning within an animist framework which acknowledges all things have energy. We ask for your full and committed presence, integrity and commitment to conscious communication during the training and as certified graduates.
Our program starts from the fundamental premise of respect and reciprocity. We have become accustomed to taking from this Earth and our greatest desire is to give back, to each other and to the Earth. We honour original land stewards on our Truth & Reconciliation Page, and we also operate a tithing program to give back some of our revenue.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“Having completed three previous breathwork training programs, nothing compares to this course! I highly recommend it to anyone looking to invest in a training that is thorough, ethical and professional. The trauma informed course content covers everything there is to know about the science and mysticism of functional and therapeutic breathwork, how to support ourselves as responsible practitioners and how to plan and deliver breathwork sessions. I now feel confident, equipped and supported to be the practitioner my clients need.”
— Ruth John, Reset With Ruth, Corporate Wellbeing Practitioner.
“I *LOVE* Steph Magenta, primarily because she’s REAL. She turns up as her true authentic self and that’s a fierce, baddass warrior woman extraordinaire! She walks her talk and has endlessly reinvented herself as she continues to consciously evolve. I absolutely recommend her as I know she continues to seek new ways to do ‘peak human’. she delivers with experience, expertise, compassion & a wicked sense of humour.”
