BREATHWORK INSTRUCTOR TRAINING
Breathing well in today’s world is a REVOLUTIONARY act
¿Why we need breathwork instructors?
Holistic Wellness
Chronic stress, anxiety, and disconnection from our bodies have become modern-day epidemics. A certified breathwork instructor guides you through bespoke respiratory retraining to recalibrate your nervous system. Beyond emotional balance, breathwork can also alleviate physical challenges like asthma, sleep apnea, and habitual mouth-breathing—conditions that silently undermine our well-being.Elevated Quality of Life
When you learn to breathe with intention, you unlock deeper, more restorative sleep, optimize digestion, expand your lung capacity, and cultivate unwavering emotional resilience. Conscious breathing becomes the catalyst for everyday vitality.Community & Sustainability
Breathwork instructors do more than teach techniques—they create nurturing circles of mutual support where people lean on each other, weaving networks of care and collective growth. In these shared spaces, personal transformation fuels a ripple effect of social and environmental stewardship.Science–Spirituality Bridge
Professional certification ensures every practice is rooted in rigorous clinical evidence and delivered with the highest ethical standards, while honoring the timeless wisdom of ancestral traditions. It’s where cutting-edge research and sacred lineage converge to offer a truly responsible and soul-nourishing journey.
OUR METHOD
Our approach is holistic, encompassing the entire spectrum of breathwork. In this training, we honor both ancestral practices and cutting-edge protocols, uniting the best of both worlds to offer you a profound, ethical, and truly transformative experience.
Clinical Approach:
Respiratory anatomy, dysfunctional breathing retraining, and protocols for managing anxiety and trauma (based on Polyvagal Theory, Buteyko, neuroscience, and the work of Peter Levine). We ensure that each practice not only promotes release but is also supported by a solid physiological and psychological understanding.
Ethics and Space-Holding:
Instructor Responsibility: Accompanying participants, maintaining clear boundaries, and protecting each individual's integrity.
Informed Consent and Safe Practices: We clearly explain goals and potential reactions, ensuring everyone feels supported, never exposed.
Collective Dimension as a Path to Healing:
Personal transformation happens within community. We walk together through in-person or online gatherings where affection, deep listening, and mutual learning nourish the process.
We believe in the political power of the collective: healing is not just an individual act but a revolutionary act of rebuilding bonds and strengthening the social fabric.
Beyond Emotional Release:
Breathwork is often thought of as emotional discharge—tears, shaking, catharsis—but the true magic happens afterward. In the stillness. In clarity. In the new choices we make from a grounded place.
We don't work merely to let go; we breathe to invite in the love we dare to embody when the dust settles.
The Revolution of Interconnection:
In the face of social and ecological crisis, we propose a revolution based on living systems rather than unchecked industrial growth.
Inspired by indigenous communities who perceive humans as integral parts of the Earth, we foster an understanding of our bodies as intelligent systems interconnected with all life.

Meet your teacher
Hello!
I’m Ana Balbuena, founder of TRIBU and a passionate Breathwork facilitator with years of experience leading workshops, events, and retreats around the globe. As a certified Breathwork instructor, yoga teacher, and freediver, I’ve witnessed firsthand how the simple act of breathing can transform us—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Now splitting my time between Australia and Europe, I weave together scientific research, ancestral wisdom, and soulful ritual to support anyone who’s ready to deepen their relationship with their own breath.
My work springs from a deep-rooted commitment to social justice and decolonisation: I believe Breathwork has the power to break down barriers of gender, culture, and socioeconomic status, inviting everyone to the circle. I’m also a fierce advocate for environmental conservation—after all, honoring our planet’s living systems is inseparable from honoring the breath that sustains us all.
In every session and training, I blend clinically validated techniques (neuroscience, Polyvagal Theory, Buteyko, Peter Levine’s somatic methods) with sacred, time-honored rituals, always respecting the lineages from which they come.
My mission is to walk alongside you—and the communities I’m privileged to serve—on a journey where collective healing and empowerment converge to reshape not just the individual, but the world we share. This vision and purpose infuse every moment of our training together.
With love and deep gratitude,
Ana 🫁🐆🌱
