Breath Masters is the most well-known and widely acknowledged online school for certified Transformational Breath Coach certification worldwide. Aurimas Juodka is the chief executive officer of the Bali-based personal development platform YogiLab and the founder of Breath Masters. Brian Kelly is the co-founder and chief coach of Breath Masters, a global online certification programme for Transformational Breath Coaches.
Globally, the Breathwork industry has been gaining a lot of recognition as a useful tool for assisting people in overcoming a variety of obstacles. However, issues such as coaches who are not properly certified or trained and who accept clients despite their inability to deliver are giving the industry a bad name.
AJ discusses the issues the industry of breath work is currently facing "Unfortunately, this sector is becoming inundated with unqualified instructors who attend a weekend session and refer to themselves as certified coaches. There are various institutions that provide this certification, yet two days are insufficient to grasp the complexity and nuance of guiding these highly powerful experiences."
He continues, "As a result, the profession has earned a terrible name in some sectors, as too many unqualified coaches have gotten in over their heads, without the knowledge and experience to keep their pupils safe and cared for."
A decade ago, he discovered Breathwork and realised that the world desperately needed the drug, so he founded Breath Masters. AJ has spent time in performance and biohacking circles, where he realised that breathwork is the most effective technique for rapid transformation.
