Breath Coach Training
A complete teacher training in pranayama and modern breathwork. Learn the science behind why breath changes everything, and how to teach it in a way that actually lands.
Ancient tradition. Modern science.
Both are pointing at the same thing.
Yoga teachers spend years learning alignment, sequencing, and hands-on adjustments. Most spend almost no time learning the breath. That is where the real work of yoga lives.
Pranayama has been the cornerstone of yoga practice for thousands of years. Not as an add-on at the start of class, but as a complete science for regulating the body, training the mind, and moving energy in ways that posture alone can't reach.
In the last 20 years, modern science has started to map exactly why it works. CO2 tolerance, vagal tone, nervous system regulation, the relationship between breath rate and emotional state. The research keeps validating what the yogis already knew.
Breath Coach brings both lineages together. You'll get the tradition taught properly, and the science to back it up. So you can deepen your own practice and teach breathwork to others with real understanding behind it.
The tradition. The science. The practice.
Where it comes from, what the ancient texts actually say, and why breath has sat at the heart of the yogic system for thousands of years. This is the foundation everything else builds on.
CO2, oxygen exchange, vagal tone, and nervous system regulation. How breathing patterns directly shape your biology, and why the ancient techniques work exactly as modern science would predict.
The core practices of the tradition taught with precision. Correct form, proper sequencing, and a real understanding of what each technique does to the body, mind, and energy system.
Contemporary approaches mapped against the traditional system. What they share, where they diverge, and how to use both intelligently, so your teaching draws from the full picture.
The advanced internal practices most breathwork training skips. Building heat, directing prana, purifying the system, with the lineage context that makes these practices safe and genuinely transformative.
How to structure breathwork sessions for different students and goals. Cueing, sequencing, adapting techniques in real teaching contexts, so you walk away ready to share this work with confidence.
Most breathwork training gives you techniques. This one gives you understanding.
There are a lot of breathwork courses out there. Some go deep into the tradition but stay abstract and hard to apply. Others are purely technique-based with no context for why any of it works.
Breath Coach was built differently. Mark has spent 45 years practicing and teaching pranayama, studying under teachers who held the lineage properly, while also working with athletes, therapists, and ordinary people who needed it to be practical and grounded in results.
This training gives you both. The yogic framework that makes sense of the practices, and the modern science that explains the mechanism. When you understand both, you become a far better teacher.
Kriyas, bandhas, and the practices most breathwork training never touches.
A lot of modern breathwork focuses on calming and regulation, and that matters. But the traditional pranayama system also includes powerful techniques for building heat, purifying the nervous system, and accessing states of heightened awareness that sit well beyond relaxation.
Kriyas, bandhas, and advanced breath retention are among the most transformative practices in the yogic toolkit. They're also the most frequently skipped in teacher training. Breath Coach teaches them properly, with the lineage context that makes them safe and the modern physiological understanding that makes them teachable.

Founder, YogaCoach · 45 Years in Practice
Mark has been practicing and studying pranayama for over 45 years. He trained under teachers who understood the lineage deeply, and he's spent decades figuring out how to make that depth accessible to modern students without losing any of its integrity.
He's trained hundreds of yoga teachers across Australia and internationally, worked with Olympic athletes, and developed a teaching style that is rigorous, practical, and warm. He doesn't oversimplify, and he doesn't overcomplicate.
Breath Coach is the training he built from everything he knows about this science. It's thorough, it's honest, and it doesn't waste your time.
The breath has always been there.
