CPD13 Certified Somatic Medicine Practitioner – Bodywork & Breathwork Training (Online)
An Online Continuing Professional Development Specialty Intensive
BIYOME’s Certified Somatic Medicine Practitioner – Bodywork & Breathwork training is a deeply experiential program designed for clinicians, therapists, yoga teachers, and allied health professionals who want to deliver trauma-informed, body-based therapies with confidence, compassion, and clinical integrity.
This transformative 50-hour immersive course blends somatic experiencing embodiment training, therapeutic bodywork, conscious breathwork, and pranayama, grounded in cutting-edge psychosomatic therapy principles and evidence-informed mind-body medicine. You will learn to work with the nervous system at its deepest level, supporting emotional regulation, interoceptive awareness, and nervous system integration through embodied practice rather than talk therapy alone.
Participants experience a seamless integration of Eastern contemplative arts with modern somatic science, including conscious breathwork techniques, hands-on somatic interventions, trauma-responsive facilitation, and reflective practice tools that cultivate presence, clarity, and ethical precision.
Mapping the Inner Landscapes of Ecstasy in Consciousness
This training invites you to explore non-ordinary states of consciousness not as random experiences, but as mappable inner landscapes within Eastern contemplative traditions. Drawing on breath control through pranayama as described in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Gheranda Samhita, and Shiva Samhita, participants engage in pranayama as a precise gateway into samadhi, navigating the conscious, subconscious, and unconscious layers of the mind. Breath becomes the bridge from personal awareness to universal oneness and beyond, guiding a journey that is both deeply inner and expansively transformative.
This is both somatic and consciousness-based medicine.
Master the medicine of the breath.
