The Wild West of Breathwork..?🤠🧐
Let’s be honest: the breathwork world is booming. And that’s beautiful, but…
with rapid growth comes growing pains.
These days, you can’t scroll for two minutes without seeing yet another breathwork coach offering yet another “mind-blowing transformation.”
But here’s the thing:
Too much of this work is focused on intensity.
Too little is grounded in actual safety.
And too often, people are left with confusing, unprocessed, or even harmful experiences.
If you’re someone who truly cares about doing this work right — with integrity, humility, and clarity — then you’re in the right place.
Why This Course Exists
Over the last decade, I’ve worked with thousands of people—from Olympic athletes and CEOs to people processing trauma or just trying to get through the day.
I’ve seen the incredible healing that breath can bring…
But I’ve also seen the mess.
I’ve done aftercare for people who were pushed too hard, too fast. I’ve heard the stories of unsafe group dynamics, untrained facilitators, and spaces that felt more like performances than healing sessions.
That’s why I created this course.
To share my best practices…
To offer a new standard…
To give coaches like you a place to anchor into the why and how of safe, effective, and honest breathwork facilitation.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Apart from the deep dive into anatomy, physiology, nervous system regulation and bodywork, you are invited to go through a deep inner process. From here you will learn all the skills to confidently pass on The Work in a safe and secure way!

Empowering, transformative and inspiring in so many ways. This masterclass is not only about tools for breathwork, but also about understanding breathing down to the cellular level, bodywork, traumawork and about creating a safe space to guide people through transformative processes.

If you are looking for extensive, well-founded, holistic, entertaining and great training on the subject of breathing and breathwork, Kasper is the first and best point of contact for me. I have already completed training on this topic, but what Kasper and his team have achieved here is phenomenal.

This is Not a Techniques Course
This is not about the “one right method.”
It’s about the principles underneath all methods.
We won’t be memorizing protocols or branding techniques.
Instead, we’ll explore how to:
- Understand breathwork at the level of principles, not hype.
- Create truly safe containers—physically, emotionally, and energetically.
- Know your role as a facilitator and navigate power dynamics with humility.
- Communicate contraindications clearly, without fear or fluff.
- Let go of your agenda and support people in finding their own way.
If you’ve ever felt the pressure to “blow people’s minds” or doubted whether you were “doing enough” as a facilitator, this course will be a breath of fresh air.
What You’ll Learn
This course is designed as a down-to-earth, high-value training that distills years of experience into clear and applicable insights:
✅ The Ten Agreements of High-Integrity Breath Coaching
✅ Solving the “trauma formula” towards healing experiences
✅ How to work from source principles rather than fixed methods
✅ Guidance on power dynamics, boundaries, and professional ethics
✅ Bonus resources on team space holding, integration, and contraindications
✅ The difference between objective and subjective safety—and how to cultivate both
✅ How to avoid common pitfalls like trauma dumping, spiritual bypassing, or over-coaching
✅ A breathwork intensity chart to help you match your sessions to the people you’re serving
All of it delivered in plain language, with real-life examples, and zero bullshit.
Who This Is For
This course is for breathwork facilitators and coaches who:
- Want to deepen their integrity and professionalism
- Have felt disillusioned with the performance-based coaching culture
- Are ready to go beyond technique and into true mastery
- Care more about people than about their own persona
Whether you’re just getting started or have years of experience, this course offers the kind of reflective grounding that can keep your practice aligned as you grow.

It feels like coming home, a warm bath, full of theory, practice and integration. You will not only learn all the tools and techniques you need as a breathing coach, but also as a human being.

After fifteen years of discovering, practicing and deploying breathwork, I finally wanted to know the ins and outs. Kasper dived into the depths of breathwork and brought out the core. Through his obsessive curiosity, eagerness to learn, playfulness and thoroughness, he built up an enormous amount of knowledge and wisdom about the how and why of breathing and he knows how to convey this to the Masterclass participants in an extremely inspiring way.

No Big Promises.
Just Solid Ground.
❌ This course won’t make you a “7-figure coach.”
❌ It won’t teach you flashy tricks.
❌ And it won’t give you a new identity to market online.
What it will give you is something much more valuable:
A clear sense of what you stand for as a breathworker…
and the tools to hold that standard in your work, your space, and your life.
👉🏼Is This You?
- You feel a growing discomfort with the hype-heavy breathwork scene.
- You’ve witnessed (or even caused) sessions that went too far, too fast.
- You’re unsure how to match intensity levels safely to clients.
- You care deeply about keeping people safe in any scenario.
- You’re curious and excited to know the deeper layers of breathwork.
Meet Your Guide
I’m Kasper van der Meulen. I’m a breathwork facilitator, science educator, and musician. Over the last 10 years I’ve had the privilege of teaching thousands of people how to work with their breath—from elite performers like CEOs, special forces operators, and Olympic athletes, to everyday folks simply looking for more clarity and peace.
I also guide large groups through immersive breath journeys, often supported by live soundscapes and handpan music that I compose and perform. What drives me is the desire to bridge ancient spiritual wisdom with modern science, and make it practical for everyday life.
These days, I run Breathwork Masterclass, where I train coaches and facilitators to use breathwork with safety, depth, and integrity. I’m honoured to serve and share with over 1000 students from more than 50 different countries in our online academy and live retreats.
Above all, I see myself as a student of the breath—continually learning, refining, and sharing what I discover along the way.
“Kasper is among the absolute best in the world of conscious breathwork. This is your chance to learn from him.”
