We focus on a variety of transformative breathing techniques primarily based on yogic science and philosophy. This includes Pranayama, which is a traditional practice that involves regulating the breath through specific rhythms and techniques to enhance vital energy. We also explore Tibetan breath yoga, which incorporates ancient Tibetan practices known for balancing the body and mind through powerful breath control. We delve into Himalayan Yog-Vedantic techniques, which integrate wisdom from the Himalayan masters and the holistic teachings of the Vedas. Each of these practices is tailored to not only enhance your respiratory efficiency but also to foster a deeper connection between your mental, physical, and spiritual health. We also include Shamanic breathing which are practices derived from various indigenous and shamanic traditions around the world. It involves using rapid, rhythmic breathing techniques to alter consciousness and facilitate spiritual experiences. This type of breathing is often used in shamanic rituals and healing sessions to access altered states of consciousness, connect with spiritual guides, and promote deep emotional and physical healing.

Testimonials
I didn't quite know what to expect before taking this breath work certification course, I had no idea it would completely transform my entire life. I went into this course in deep grief from the loss of my mother. The more I got into the breath practice, the deeper I met my grief and actually sat with it and breathed through it. Bianca made me feel very seen and heard by simply sharing her real emotions and personal experiences, unfiltered. The breath practices expanded me and took me through the process of healing. Bianca has this power in her voice as she teaches, it hits you right where you need it. I could hear her souls calling when she spoke about the linages and how important this work is to her being. The power I’m speaking of is the same power this practice has that can truly transform your life. The way we were able to form a community of trust, and love even though we had all just met, is such a gift.
I feel so connected and empowered through this community at Holistic Breath Academy. This was everything I needed at this very moment in my life, and I am truly grateful I was able to experience this course. I am still experiencing this every single day - I love that it's not over once you pass the exam, this is a lifetime experience. It will meet you when you're ready.
JESSICA STURRUP
Bianca's Fundamentals of Breathwork course was an amazing experience— it wasn’t just informative, it was insightful and empowering. The way Bianca structured the course fostered a wonderful sense of community, allowing us to learn and grow together. It truly felt like we were on a shared journey, preparing to not just be practitioners, but leaders ourselves.
Bianca's knowledge is quite impressive. She doesn't just explain the techniques, she passionately shares the rich history of breathwork, making it come alive in a tangible and meaningful way. Her passion for the subject is contagious, and it creates an inspiring learning environment.
If you're looking for a breathwork training program that is multidimensional, look no further than Holistic Breathwork Academy. This is a warm and welcoming space that equips you with the tools and confidence to begin, deepen and share the power of breathwork with others. What you’ll get from Bianca and HBA is priceless!!
GERMANI MANNING
One of the best decisions I’ve made this year was enrolling in Bianca’s Fundamentals of Breathwork course. I didn’t go in with many expectations, but I was eager to learn more about the breath and create my own practice. It was much better than I could have ever expected! Bianca is an amazing leader, coach, and facilitator. It was transformational to learn from her because she so deeply practices and believes in this work. From the very first day, it was clear that she was incredibly knowledgeable about breathwork and passionate about passing down everything she had learned over the years. I’ve done many courses, but I’ve never learned from someone as giving and radiant as Bianca. I feel immense gratitude to be a founding coach at Holistic Breath Academy, and I cannot wait to continue to learn and grow with this community.
Shaina mcgregor
Not to sound dramatic, but Bianca just may have changed my life. In the most loving, open, and non-judgmental way, she guided us through the fundamentals of breathwork. I admire her honesty, complete authenticity, devotion to the practices, curiosity, sense of humour, candor, and her wisdom. She was always available to answer my questions and offer up advice. The practices she taught me have now become an integral part of my day. The growth I experienced in a sheer 6 weeks was expansive, vital, and came at a perfect time. To know that I am at the beginning of my journey as a Holistic Breathwork Coach leaves me feeling excited for the future - I see life in a whole new way and I am so grateful to be her student.
JAZMIN SHANNON
FROM OUR FOUNDER
Hi! I'm Bianca Harris, and I'm deeply grateful to share my journey with you. Breath practice has been a profound force in my life, guiding me from a place of pain and uncertainty to one of healing and empowerment. Our breath is a powerful tool for transformation, capable of regulating our emotions, calming our minds, and revitalizing our bodies. By embracing the natural power of conscious breathing, we can manage stress, enhance mental clarity, and promote overall well-being from within.
Breathwork has allowed me to delve deep into my being, addressing stress, trauma, and persistent health issues that once held me back. Through intentional breathing, I have been able to transmute my pain, releasing years of feeling unworthy and disempowered. This practice has brought me a sense of wholeness and connection that I never thought possible.
My introduction to the ancient breath practices of pranayama and the Tibetan breath of yoga was life-changing. These teachings bridged ancient wisdom with modern practice, offering me tools to heal and grow. They have become the foundation of my journey and the inspiration behind the Holistic Breath Academy.
What sets our program apart is its authenticity and the harmonious blend of ancient and modern techniques. We approach breathwork with creativity and artistry, making it accessible and transformative for everyone. My personal journey has ignited a passion in me to help others discover their own paths to healing and empowerment.
I invite you to join me at the Holistic Breath Academy. Together, we will embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and transformation. Let’s breathe life into our dreams and visions, creating a healthier and more harmonious world.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Bianca Harris Founder, Holistic Breath Academy
