Become a Certified Breathwork Instructor

Learn to Breathe Differently. Transform Everything.

Join the Re-Inspire Breathwork Certification Course — a science-backed, spiritually grounded training that takes you from foundational breath mechanics to profound somatic release and reconnection.

Taught by Johnny Longinidis | 15+ Years Facilitating | Yoga Alliance CEU Accredited

Level 1 starts September 21, 2026. Spots are limited.

WHAT IS THE RE-INSPIRE BREATHWORK METHODOLOGY?

The Re-Inspire Breathwork Methodology is a complete, progressive certification program that merges modern breath science — nervous system regulation, CO2 tolerance, functional mechanics — with ancient elemental wisdom.

It’s structured around the 5 elements of nature: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether. Each element maps to a stage of inner transformation, guiding you from a stable foundation all the way to deep release and reconnection — safely, with structure, at every step.

This is not a one-weekend workshop. It’s the training path that Johnny wishes had existed when he started his journey, refined over 15 years of study, practice, and embodiment.

WHY THIS TRAINING MATTERS

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN LEVEL 1

INCLUDED IN LEVEL 2

9 Day In-Person Retreat in Guatemala!

Our 9 day immersion on the coast of Guatemala gives us the ideal environment to go deeper into our practices & training in privacy & paradise!

WHY EL PAREDÓN, GUATEMALA?

El Paredón is a small, laid-back surf village on Guatemala’s Pacific coast, known for black volcanic sand, mangrove forests, and a slow, quiet pace. No big resorts, no crowds, just ocean air and space to go inward.

Having co-facilitated retreats here before, I’ve seen firsthand how this place holds people. It’s a natural container for nervous system reset, emotional release, and the heart-centered work Re-Inspire is built on.

Why this location works for the training:

  • Supports regulation: Ocean air, black sand, and steady waves help the body settle. All the elements of nature are present here to support processing and integration.

  • Room to go deeper: A small, quiet town means fewer distractions, giving us space for multi-day immersion rather than a rushed weekend.

  • Authentic connection: A genuine local community paired with a low-key surf culture supports the same presence and real connection we cultivate in the breathwork itself.

  • The right space: We’ll stay in a carefully chosen home close enough to the beach and village to stay connected, private enough for focused practice and integration. View the home on Airbnb

El Paredón isn’t just an exotic backdrop. It’s chosen because it helps people drop in, so the work of conscious breath and nervous system regulation actually integrates.
