Primordial Breathwork™ Teacher Training

Primordial Breathwork™ was developed by Paititi Institute over the last 12 years and Roman Hanis as the main facilitator over the last 18 years. Throughout this time, many individuals have benefited from this practice and expressed interest to become facilitators.

Primordial Breathwork™ is inspired by indigenous Amazonian and Tibetan traditions, supported by Transpersonal Psychology. The cosmology and theoretical background of this practice relates to the hero’s conscious journey towards the original state of blissful divine union, as mirrored in ancient cultures and spiritual traditions around the world. That state of presence is recognized as the source of all creative potential and is vital in evolutionary healing.

To embark in the teacher training program, it’s essential to commit to this journey of evolutionary healing in one’s life and Paititi Institute’s role is to create a community of facilitators that support each other in this continuous journey of evolution.

The Teacher Training program involves study on both the physical technique and underlying psychosomatic theory for facilitators to embody and safely support others in practice and integration. Topics covered include:

• In-depth technique
• Training for group and individual guidance
• Cultivation of emotional intelligence
• Cellular memory activation and catharsis
• Communicating with body language
• Physical, energetic and dream connection through Shamanic Transpersonal Dreamwork
• Shamanic Symptomatic Dance
• Contraindications
• Integration
• Creative processing
• Transmission of natural states

Indigenous Ceremony:

As part of the training participants will have an option to partake in ancient Amazonian indigenous ceremonies of Ayahuasca and Andean culture of San Pedro and Coca. All of these plants are recognized as national heritage and cultural treasure of Peru. These healing traditions are links to uninterrupted live transmission lineages going back to times immemorial. At Paititi we deeply honor these illuminated reminders from those ancestors who were fully immersed in the original enlightened essence of humanity’s true nature. For more info on these practices please review our Program Overview Document (coming soon).
