“It is our intention to contribute to the goodness available in this world by creating legacy trainings that support the evolution of human consciousness and community connection.
We believe that when we can safely meet and release our own trauma, conditioning and perceived limitations, we can step more fully into authentic, integral and aligned self expression as a powerful healing force.
This is our vision for myself, for you and for humanity.”
— Steph Magenta, Founder SEVEN DIRECTIONS® BREATHWORK

your PERSONALISED ROUTE TO GRADUATION with our
one on one study program
The key difference in our one-on-one training is that you can tailor your learning to suit your time zone and lifestyle. Typically, you will meet fortnightly alongside our group program schedule but with flexible dates and times. Your assigned lead trainer will be an experienced approved Seven Directions® mentor and breathwork facilitator.
One-on-one training is hosted by Rebecca Baker, our mentor trainer and senior faculty. Ths route offers greater flexibility for those in need. This option must also be completed within a 12 month maximum time frame.
All 1-2-1 requirements are the same as those for group study.
Schedule DetAils
During your 1-2-1 training, you are able to access our community student group, watch some of the recorded content from our group classes, join our integrations and other ceremony sessions, and receive the same supporting information as our group students. You do not have access to our group training calls or platform, however you do have the benefit of ongoing personalised mentoring.
One to one training typically takes a similar amount of time to complete allowing for the occasional break in scheduling. This does not include your in-person graduation practicum which you will attend with the group cohort running parallel to your 1-2-1 tuition. During the program, you will be expected to attend regular online or in person breathwork sessions to maintain your personal practice. You should also develop a daily breath awareness as integral to your own breath mastery.
Price options
The total cost of THE one to one program is currently set at £3,500 UK sterling (excluding graduation fees). There are no additional mentor fees in the 1-2-1 program except for your FINAL graduation module.
A £500 deposit secures your place. Your deposit is non-refundable.
Payment plans can be arranged by request. Fees must be complete prior to certification. We invite you to request a curriculum and upon receipt, schedule a free consultation call with your proposed one to one training guide to discuss this further.
