PERSONALISED ROUTE TO GRADUATION
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 weekly with your assigned lead trainer who is an approved experienced breathwork practitioner fully conversant with our program content. Please register your interest in the one-to-one route via email to stephmagentabreathwork@gmail.com with the subject ‘1-2-1 inquiry’.
Schedule DetAils
During your 1-2-1 training, you may be able to access some sessions taught by guest teachers of the current group cohort running parallel to your own personal journey.
One to one training typically takes around 6 months to complete allowing for the occasional break in scheduling.This does not include your in-person breathcamp graduation which you will attend with the group nearest to your completion date.
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.
One-on-one training reduces the completion time of the program. This option must be completed within a maximum time frame congruent with our program and graduation modules. You will graduate at a live camp with our group program students.
All 1-2-1 requirements are the same as those for group study.
Price options
The total cost of our one to one program is currently set at £2,500 UK Sterling (excluding graduation fees).
A £500 deposit secures your place. Your deposit is non-refundable. There are additional fees for attending our final breathcamp module (please see general info above).
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 Steph and/or your lead assigned trainer to discuss this option further.
