THE GIVING THANKS SCHOLARSHIP
$25,000 in Partial Scholarships Now Open for Aspiring Breathwork Facilitators. Breathwork Certification Journey. Applications open now until Thanksgiving!
Healing is your birthright—let’s share it with the world.
OUR MISSION
At Breath of Gold®, we’ve witnessed thousands reset their nervous systems, heal old trauma, and step into true freedom through using the power of their breath.
Now, we’re opening the door for dedicated leaders who want to go deeper, serve more, and share this work with their communities.
For years, we’ve watched people around the world reset their nervous systems, release years of stored tension and trauma, and come back home to their bodies all through one simple, natural method: Breathwork.
In the spirit of generosity and Thanksgiving this month, we’re opening the door for those who feel called to go deeper. If you feel the desire to guide others through this work, the Breath of Gold® Giving Thanks Scholarship was created to make that possible.
As a Breath of Gold® Certified Breathwork you learn how to hold deep space for others to transform and heal while also healing and transforming yourself. This is an opportunity to support your clients in getting deeper results.
Breath of Gold® is unlocking up to $25,000 in total partial scholarship funding for future coaches, healers, and change-makers who want to learn the Breath of Gold® way and create even more transformation.
WHY Are we doing this SCHOLARSHIP?
In the Spirit of generosity for the month of Thanksgiving, we've decided to launch a limited-time partial scholarship fund from now through November 26th.
We believe that healing should be accessible to everyone. Our founder, Adrienne Rivera, has spent the last five years bringing breathwork to people all over the world, empowering them to heal, lead, and inspire.

Emily Golden
“I was drawn to The Breath of Gold® Breathwork Facilitator Program after trying one of Adrienne’s sessions.
What I love most about the program is how thorough the education is, both from a medical and legal perspective.
People have been LOVING my breathwork sessions and it’s been so rewarding to see it change people’s lives. Adrienne has so much energy and enthusiasm and it is fun to learn from her and the experts that she’s brought in. This is definitely a breathwork certification that I highly recommend and I have!”
Holly Callaghan
Adrienne is such an engaged guide throughout The Breath of Gold® Facilitator Certification Program. She cares deeply about breathwork and the people participating.
I have gained so much from both the Breath of Gold® breathwork experiences that I’ve participated in and the facilitator program.
This program is so valuable because of Adrienne’s devotion to depth of understanding and guiding breathwork. If you are looking to get breathwork certified, I believe that this is the most holistic program out there!

What makes this breathwork facilitator training different from others?
We’ve looked at multiple breathwork certifications, and we've found several missing components that we find essential.
The first is understanding the science behind what’s happening during breathwork. We’ve hired a doctor to do the breathwork modules so you can have the best possible knowledge of what you’re teaching. We’ve made the science component of ours really applicable to facilitating breathwork so that you know exactly what you need to know to lead breathwork.
We are also the first ever breathwork facilitator program to include the neuroscience of breathwork so that you learn the effects of breathwork on the brain and how it shifts the brain into different brain wave lengths.
We’ve also hired a therapist to teach about how to be a trauma-informed practitioner. This is very important for coaches, healers, and in breathwork.
Most breathwork certifications out there don’t teach out to get clients. We go deep into the business of breathwork so that you can make this your business and career if you’d like it to be.
You will also learn nearly every single style of breathwork so that you can lead multiple types of breathwork or pranayama classes if you choose.
What is the main breathwork technique taught in this course?
The main breathwork style that we focus on is "Circular Connected Breath." This is where you lie down on your back, breathing in and out through your mouth for 45-60 minutes.
In this course, you'll also learn every style pranayama and all styles of modern breathwork so that you have a variety of breathwork techniques to incorporate into your life and support your clients.
When you do your breathwork test-outs, you can choose to guide circular connected breath, three-part breath, or whichever style of breathwork you would like to specialize in.
What makes this breathwork facilitator training different from others?
We’ve looked at multiple breathwork certifications, and we've found several missing components that we find essential.
Is this breathwork facilitator program all done online?
Yes, every aspect of this program is all done online, so you can join this from anywhere in the world. All of the modules are self-paced except for the optional 16 live bonus sessions, guest speaker calls, student test-out sessions, and weekly breathwork sessions. It is not mandatory that you join live, but it is highly recommended and encouraged.
Additionally, we offer in-person breathwork retreats for those of you looking for hands-on experience guiding breathwork at retreats, email [email protected] to inquire about when the next retreat will be.
The test-outs are done online, and all of the modules will be able to be accessed immediately once you purchase it, and you will be able to access the training materials for life.
How soon can I receive my completion certificate?
This breathwork certification is recommended to be done in 4 months. You can take longer if you need to, you will have lifetime access to the course.
Most people go through the training in about 8-16 weeks. After you complete all of the modules, there is a 50-question exam, a group breathwork test, and a one-on-one breathwork session that you must lead before you get your digital certificate emailed to you. It will have your name on it. You may print it out if you'd like once you receive it.
Do you have refund policy?
Due to the digital nature of this course, we have a no refund policy and a no cancellation policy for this course. Thank you in advance for understanding. If you find that you get busy during the process of this facilitator program, you can always continue the modules later at your own pace.
Are all the sessions prerecorded or does the program include live sessions?
Pre-Recorded Sessions
- The majority are pre-recorded.
- There are 14 hours of pre-recorded videos in the training. The videos are professionally recorded and high quality. The videos also include transcripts below for those with different learning styles who love to read along with it.
Live Zoom Sessions
- We also have optional weekly 90 min live sessions on Zoom. They alternate from being hosted on Thursday’s from 5-6:30pm PDT and Friday’s from 10-11:30am PDT.
- The goal is that if you desire to come to the live sessions, you can attend at least 2 sessions a month. We have people all over the world in our training which is why we have morning sessions and evening sessions.
- We frequently have guest speakers and Q&A calls to support you in learning the material. If you cannot make it live, you can watch the recordings in the online portal when it's convenient for you.
This breathwork certification includes 16 weeks of our Sunday Breathwork classes from 5:30 - 7 pm Pacific Time hosted on Zoom.
Accountability Buddies
- We set you up with an accountability buddy to go through the program together so that you can stay on track with the intention of graduating in 4-months. We recommend that buddies work together to go through the online modules for the first 2 months, reflecting on what they are learning so that they absorb the material.
- We recommend that in the second 2 months, they alternate guiding each other in online breathwork sessions every other week so build confidence in their teaching abilities before the test-out.
- Often, buddies become lifelong friends and continue swapping breathwork sessions even after graduating this breathwork certification!
