Why train in SOMA Breath at MBS Festival?

SOMA Breath is a transformative breathwork modality that blends ancient pranayama techniques with modern science to optimize physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. SOMA Breath’s transformational music-driven breathwork routines have been enjoyed by millions around the world, spread by a community of over 3500+ certified instructors, who host regular workshops, retreats and private sessions. 

SOMA Breath helps individuals tap into their inner pharmacy - unlocking states of flow, heightened awareness, and deep healing. Participants leave classes, courses and retreats with a natural healthy high that lasts.

SOMA Breath was selected as the breathwork protocol for the largest study done so far on breathwork by Cambridge University. The compelling results of this study showcases SOMA Breath as a potential non pharmacological treatment for depression.

SOMA Breath’s Breathwork is one of the most accessible and powerful tools for self-regulation, resilience, and peak performance. Unlike traditional meditation, SOMA Breath actively engages the nervous system to create a profound mind-body connection, making it a highly effective method for stress relief, energy optimization, and emotional transformation.

What official certificate will there be at the end?

Participants will receive a Certificate of Attendance for completing this course at the festival.

This certification acknowledges their participation and foundational understanding of SOMA Breath techniques. However, it does not grant professional facilitation rights. They are licensed to teach free sessions but are not able to charge a fee for it. For those inspired to build a thriving wellness business,we encourage upgrading to SOMA Breath Level 1 Training, which offers deeper training, access to our full music library, and the official certification.

Do students need to do any post-festival coursework to complete it?
No, there is no post-festival coursework. The course is fully immersive and self-contained during the festival session. However, for those who wish to expand their learning and take their breathwork practice further, we provide opportunities to continue training through our SOMA Breath Level 1 Training program.
