“Ally and George are amazing together! They complement each other beautifully bouncing off of each other’s stories, pearls of wisdom, experiences, and reminders to each other about that time when….which of course was an experience related to our learnings. Their content was thorough, well thought out, brilliant, and relevant. This was smart, inclusive, beautiful, safe, and brave training. I learned a ton, experienced shifts, and transformation through the breathwork practices, and connected with the most wonderful, present, beautiful beings. I’m humbled by the intelligence and life experiences in the room. Thank you! This one will last a lifetime in my bones and lifetimes in my healing.”

Testimonials from Past Participants:

“If you are interested in a breathwork training, the program that George and Ali offer is simply exceptional on every level. Not only will you walk away with the tools information and training to be able to lead powerful breathwork sessions, but you will also be transformed in the process. I couldn't recommend this enough.”

“This experience will clearly be present on my list of pivotal life events. Ally, George, and my fellow students created a beautiful space for delving deep into my heart, body and mind. They created an atmosphere where I could go deep and make sense of my past traumas, blessings, and accomplishments and see them in a new light. I was able to connect and make meaning of them that was uplifting in a way I never expected or imagined. There are no words to adequately express my gratitude and love for Ally & George. Not so much for what they did but for who they are that animated them to do so. I will be paying this forward.”

“The Asheville Breathwork Teacher Training far exceeded my expectations. I was blown away by the thoroughness of the material, especially background information/education. I also loved that Ally and George created a safe container, which made everyone feel comfortable opening up and expressing themselves. The level of knowledge and skill of Ally and George gives me the confidence to facilitate this transformative practice on my own. I cannot express the gratitude and love I have for the entire experience, and I would highly recommend this training to anyone who wants to teach transformative breathwork.”

“I feel changed by this training. Ally + George are remarkable teachers. They intimately understand this breathwork practice and embody the work moment to moment. They live it. To simply absorb the two of them - witnessing how they hold space, and how they just are - was perhaps the most powerful + expansive aspect of the training for me. I have done several trainings in my life, and this is the only one I felt truly gave me the tools to go do the thing with confidence literally the following week. I can’t recommend it enough. Enjoy what the breath uncovers for you!”

“I highly recommend the active breathwork training with Ally and George! It covered all angles of the practice and I left feeling very confident in my ability to facilitate!”
