Are you ready to set your life on FIRE?
Are you ready to set your life on FIRE?
Unlock the power of breath as you immerse yourself in the art and science of conscious connected breathing, and discover how to harness this life force for deep, restorative healing and personal empowerment.
introducing our inaugural breathwork certification
Class starts March 25, 2024!
It's time to be the change that you wish to see in the world.
Never has there been such a profoundly healing modality that simultaneously serves both the helper and the participant, as conscious-connected breathwork. The very practice says it all...CONNECTED.
When we experience pain in our bodies, our minds, and in our souls, we are being shown where we have become disconnected. As a breathwork guide, you will receive the highest gift of reconnection: that with yourself, others, and the entire universe around you.
Are you ready?
Studies show that the need to deal with stress in a different, non-pharmaceutical way is increasing rapidly.
I've always believed that our heart knows the way- we just need to get the mind on board.
and, meditation and breathwork practices are rising quickly
01
Based on datasets provided by Fitbit, The Global Wellness Institute found that since March of 2020, time spent meditating has increased by 2,900% around the world!
02
It is believed that meditation and breathwork can help people reach higher states of consciousness thereby helping them to overcome limiting beliefs and emotional blockages.
03
Breathwork is a blanket term used to describe a wealth of ancient practices that uniquely manipulate the breath to achieve a desired result. The intention can be physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual.
04
A study published in the "Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback" proposes that instead of targeting neurotransmitters with medication, reversing homeostatic imbalances through meditation involving breathwork may be a more effective approach to address the comprehensive physiological changes that occur in stress, anxiety and depression.
“The Practice: Breathwork, is unlike anything that I've ever experienced. And that's a good thing!"
"I felt like I had tried it all when it came to my mental health and my healing journey...and then I attended one of Mandy's breathwork events. I can't put my finger on what was so magical about it, but she definitely had a way of guiding me to a place that I had never been before. It was a combination of the breath, the music, and her cues that broke me free."
— jordon g. edmonton
The Practice: Breathwork..
I teach exactly what I need.
Remember being a kid and asking your parents or your teachers WHY you have to do what they are suggesting, only to hear, " Because I said so?" or, "Because that's just the way it is?"
I heard that all the time, but honestly, I didn't listen. Lol!
I needed to know for myself. And because of that, I've always sought teachers who had a different answer. And that answer has been, "Because I've had this experience, and this was what I needed."
I've looked everywhere for teachers who've been there AND who are still there. Those are the teachers who went all in and learned their lessons. Those are the teachers who didn't quickly run off, but decided to stay and wait for the others to arrive so that when they do, they can share what they've learned.
Are you ready to share this practice?
Consciously connecting...
For me, conscious connected breathing is not only something that happens within the individual, it is also what is happening within the collective. It's the conscious connection between the breather and the facilitator, as well as the breather and all others who are present.
And though these immersive experiences can feel full, free, and significant, they are merely practices.
These practices are the places where we get messy, we fall apart, and then we come back together again, and again, and again. We do this in preparation for every re-entry back into the game we call, Life.
"The Practice: Breathwork" is a process, a method, and a path towards greater freedom, joy, and connection in every area and in every stage of your life.
We breathe in and out about 22,000 times each day and yet, almost no one notices.
Imagine if you directed just one of those exhales towards your healing, your power, or your purpose...
Dive deep into the intricate layers of our most fundamental life force—the breath. Unravel the mysteries of the breath, and gain insight into the physiological, emotional, and energetic aspects of respiration. By understanding the anatomy of the breath, you will discover how to harness this powerful force for relaxation, stress relief, and enhanced mental clarity.
From the ancient yogic practices in India, to shamanic rituals in South America, to modern day breathwork sessions around the world – breathwork has improved the lives of people across the ages. In this module, we will cover ancient techniques used by shamans and 1960s psycho-explorers that laid the groundwork for our current-day applications of conscious breathing as a holistic therapy. Understanding the history and purpose of breathwork and its traditional methods helps us to appreciate just how far this practice has come.
In this experiential module, you will learn how to harness the innate power of your breath to influence the flow of life force within the body. Learn a variety of guided breathwork exercises and mindfulness practices, to manage excess energy in the body that contributes to mental instability, and learn how to transmute it into something useful and empowering.

module two
As the connected breath stirs the emotions stored in the body, the rising waters within activate the mind: the thoughts, memories, and desires. In this module you will explore the shamanic practice of recapitulation, as a method for moving stuck energy and releasing pain + trauma from the body.
At Lifestyle Meditation + Breathwork, we recognize the profound connection between breath and trauma resolution. This module is carefully designed to acknowledge the impact of trauma on the mind and body, and offer a mindful approach to healing through intentional breathwork. Join Sarah Salter-Kelly, our special guest teacher, and expert in the field of trauma-recovery, as you learn how to prepare, identify, and support others as they navigate their journey through the modality of the breath.
Explore the use of intention, sound, and focus as we pull everything together into a cohesive, nurturing, and powerful sequence that serves to free the body, heal the mind, and awaken the Soul.
It's time to get excited about music, drumming, affirmations, mantras, and ceremony!
During the retreat you will have the opportunity to craft your own unique breathwork session, using The Practice™ framework, and guide your fellow students through it!

Through conscious connected breathing, you will explore the rhythm and depth of your breath, creating a continuous flow that fosters a heightened state of awareness. The addition of entrainment principles introduces the concept of syncing breath with various modalities, such as sound or rhythm, to facilitate a synergistic alignment of energies.

I'm Mandy, your teacher, sister, friend!
My knowledge comes from years of training (starting in Post Secondary with a specialization in Anatomy, Physiology, and Kinesiology), followed by my Vedic Masters Education at Chopra University. But perhaps what helps me to be the best teacher I can be are the lessons learned while raising 3 kids, opening Canada's first mainstream meditation centre AND painfully breaking down the stereotypes and criticism that I've faced for years because of the work I do.
And, it's all been worth it to bring me here...
more about me
Hey there!
This certification includes everything you need to create BIG ripples in a reasonable period of time.
I get it! You're ready to GO and you want it all now!
Most trainings are either run over just a few days, leaving you feeling panicked and overwhelmed (with little to no support with integration), OR, they take place over a long, drawn-out, period of time in order to justify a huge investment or because they simply believe that they need to keep you idling for as long as they can until you've reached a level of mastery before being set loose to facilitate.
I've been creating and leading teacher trainings for over a decade and what I know to be true is that the majority of our mastery comes from the DOING.
But I also know enough to not throw you to the wolves too quickly! It's important that you don't only know what to do, but why you are doing it. In this line of work it's never a matter of, "If" things show up, but when they do. And because of that, you must be prepared.
The intention of this training is to prepare you physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually to be the best guide that you can be.

Yes :)
It's important that everyone is on the same page and up to speed with the training that was just re-written and re-released June 2023.
Do you offer scholarships or discounts?
It is important to us that we look for roads to bring these trainings to sensitive communities that would not otherwise have access to such valuable information and healing modalities.
