The 2025 Sedona Retreat was magical, wonderful, joyful, and best of all the people and the land will forever be in my heart. Thank you Behind the Lids for providing this most outstanding experience!
Thank you so much, Judi!! We love you!
Behind The Lids breathwork facilitator training was such a valuable, meaningful and worthwhile experience. Mandy the owner is so knowledgeable, positive and inspiring. Her space is welcoming and tranquil. The curriculum is comprehensive and well structured to give you all the necessary knowledge and tools you need to confidently lead breathwork. Training in person gives you the opportunity to practice the skills you’re learning, get immediate feedback and feel supported by like minded individuals all with the same goal of bringing healing to others. 10/10 recommend this training!
BTL is an exceptional place for safely exploring breathwork and other healing and community-building practices. I’ve been a regular participant at breathwork sessions for almost a year and recently got certified as a breathwork facilitator through their incredible course. Mandy and the team care about each human in their space and it shows.
My Breathwork facilitator training with Mandy at Behind The Lids reflected the same sense of connection and care that first drew me to her classes, and inspired me to pursue this certification. The curriculum was thoughtfully organized in a clear, concise training manual, exploring nervous system physiology, metabolic health, coherence, and breath in an approachable way. Even without a background in these areas, participants could understand the concepts and learn how to articulate them as facilitators, helping others understand how breath can support nervous system regulation. I especially loved the practice sessions, where we rotated through members of the group to put what we had learned into action. These experiences built confidence while creating a deeply supportive atmosphere and meaningful bonds among us as we pursued our own personal and professional growth. I am so excited to see how everyone shares this work, and I feel honored to serve a practice that has supported me so tremendously in my own healing. Thank you, Mandy and David, for holding such intentional, nurturing spaces and empowering others to do the same.
Mandy and David were incredibly supportive throughout the training. You receive a lot of detailed information, not only through demonstrations but also through hands-on practice. They create a safe and comfortable container where you can build confidence in facilitating breathwork for others. They encourage you to be unique and authentic in your own style of facilitation while also sharing so many ideas and insights from their own experience. This training provides you with the tools, knowledge, and confidence needed to build a career centered around serving and helping others. I highly recommend the Behind the Lids Facilitator Training to anyone who feels the call to serve and support others through the transformative power of breathwork.
Thank you so much for this beautiful review, Jess! It was such a joy having you in the training and watching your confidence grow throughout our time together. We’re so grateful you chose Behind the Lids for this part of your journey, and can’t wait to see where you take your breathwork from here! Mandy
So good.
