Hale Breath Coach Certification
Become a Certified Breath Coach
We are now accepting applications for the Hale Breath Coach Certification — one of the most advanced, comprehensive and accessible breathwork trainings available today.
Training Starts Monday, April 6th, 2026
live zoom calls: 12:45pm-2:45pm ET Mondays
This 6-month immersive experience is designed for individuals ready to deeply transform their own relationship with the breath — and for coaches, therapists, athletes, leaders, and wellness professionals who want to integrate breathwork at the highest level of skill and impact.
This is not a weekend certification.
It is a rigorous, experiential pathway into mastery.
Through a powerful combination of live mentorship, structured online study, and an in-person immersive weekend, you’ll train directly with Engage Breathwork founder Erin and professional NHL athlete and Hale Founder Johnny Oduya.
You’ll learn how to:
-
Work skillfully with the nervous system
-
Transform stress into regulation and resilience
-
Support emotional processing safely and responsibly
-
Optimize performance without bypassing depth
-
Facilitate both group experiences and 1:1 sessions with confidence
You won’t just learn techniques.
You’ll develop discernment, presence, and the embodied leadership required to guide others responsibly.
By the end of the certification, you will have the tools, structure, and community needed to confidently integrate breath into your professional practice — or build a breath-based offering of your own.
This training is for those who are serious about mastery.
