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.

Entrepreneurs and athletes seeking mental clarity, resilience, and peak performance

WHY THIS TRAINING MATTERS
Most breathwork trainings give you techniques and a general list of benefits, the kind of information you could find with a quick Google or ChatGPT search today.
Re-Inspire gives you the why, the how, and the depth to hold space safely and powerfully for real human transformation.
We know this work takes time to apply safely with your clients, and it starts with applying the practices to yourself first. Teaching from an embodied place matters. The more deeply these practices live in you, the more effective your teaching becomes.
Here's the truth I've lived and taught for years:
Too many people are walking around dysregulated: high-performers, therapists, coaches, yoga teachers, and everyday seekers alike. Breathing shallow. Living in fight-or-flight. Carrying years of suppressed emotion in their body and mind while searching for something deeper than another quick-fix certification or surface-level practice.
Weekend trainings can light a spark. They rarely build the capacity, the science, and the embodied wisdom needed to keep that flame alive, or to guide others through the fire without burning out yourself.
That's the gap Re-Inspire was built to fill.
This training is important because:
It merges the science of breathwork with spirituality. We don't choose one over the other. You'll understand the Bohr effect, CO2 tolerance, the medulla oblongata, nitric oxide, and the nervous system, while learning how the breath becomes the bridge to emotion, intuition, and the quiet voice of Spirit. This isn't "woo," and it isn't dry academia. It's both: grounded, practical, and deeply human.
It is not another weekend certificate. Level 1 is a 9 week progressive journey. You move through the Four Stages of Competence, practicing, integrating, teaching, receiving feedback, and embodying the work. Depth takes time. Safety takes time. Mastery takes time. We honor that. Level 2 adds 9 months of training, including an immersive in-person retreat in Guatemala.
It equips you to hold space without overpromising or overreaching. You'll learn clear structure, trauma-informed principles, progressive access, and how to create containers safe enough for real transformation. Whether you're working with athletes, gain the confidence to lead them through their own journey.
It's a multi-modality approach. We believe variety offers the strongest opportunity for growth: the course incorporates 50+ breathwork techniques, yoga and meditation practices, and plenty of journaling prompts.
It was born from lived experience, not theory alone. My own journey began with severe air hunger in a heated yoga class in 2009, and an inner voice that said "Follow the breath." That moment led me through a dark night of the soul, years of practice, and pursuing certifications with Oxygen Advantage, Dan Brulé, and somatic release work. Re-Inspire is the methodology that grew from that path, tested in the body, refined through thousands of hours of teaching, and offered now so others can walk a clearer, safer road.
If you've felt the limits of surface-level trainings...
If you want to guide others with both knowledge and presence...
If you're ready for a training that respects the intelligence of the body, the nervous system, and the spirit...
I invite you to join us in the next Re-Inspire Breathwork Training.
It doesn't just teach breathwork. It builds facilitators who can help people breathe themselves free.

9 Day In-Person Retreat in Guatemala!

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.
