FAQ’S
Why did you create this training?
Sound, movement and authentic expression are some of the most powerful tools for by-passing the conscious mind and releasing the accumulated stressors that unconsciously cripple us.
More than that we wanted to create a program that makes the growth process more enjoyable as well.
After 6-12 months of spacious, committed practice you will not be the same person that you were and ultimately we want more people who are able to share this work with their family, friends and other spheres of influence.
2. Who should take this training?
Honestly, we'd recommend that anyone who can afford it take the training. That said this program is definitely for you if:
You feel like you need a fresh start
You want to start living as the most alive version of your authentic self
You have painful thoughts, feelings and blocks that you can’t quite shake
You want to release inter-generational trauma
You consistently self-sabotage feel lost, confused and like “something’s not quite right”
You find it difficult to stand up for yourself and speak your truth
You struggle expressing ALL of your emotions especially anger
You feel numb and disconnected from your body
You can’t connect intimately with your partner or yourself
You have shame or blocks around sexuality and touch
You want to balance and harmonize your internal energetics so you have the capacity to actually do the things you want to
You want to build deeper intimacy and fall in LOVE your body
You’re a coach, therapist or movement facilitator (yoga, dance etc) who wants to expand their toolkit
You want to make the personal growth experience a bit more enjoyable and not so serious all the time
You want a fun way to build your fitness, resiliency and mobility
You want to learn and grow within a supportive community
You want clear insights on the best way forward
You want to reconnect to your passions, purpose and deepest parts of yourself
3. I'm completely new to dance, should I be doing the training?
Absolutely. You don’t need to have any dance experience, in fact, being a serious dancer might actually count against you.
You don't need to be artistic, flexible or anything else (some of your biggest releases will happen while sitting, lying or standing still).
Come with a an open "beginners mind", we'll guide you through the rest.
4. Do I have to complete all 6 modules?
Yes you do. Each module builds on and reinforces the lessons of previous modules so that you are constantly reinforcing your ability to open, release and make sustainable changes in your life.
As wonderful as once-off workshops can be, there really is a HUGE difference between short-term satisfaction and the depths that one can reach through consistent practice over time in a small supportive group.
5. What if I miss an in-person training?
Once all 10 participants are registered, we will collectively select the in-person training dates that everyone can make.
That said, we know that life happens.
If something does comes up, you’ll have the additional training content (manual, video, exercises etc) to make sure that you’re still able to grasp core concepts.
Please note no refunds will be issued for missed classes except under special circumstances.
6. What if I want to drop out of the training?
This is an intimate intensive with very limited slots, so while we hope that you will fully commit to your process, we understand if at some point you feel that the course is no longer for you.
NB: If you drop out of the course you will still be liable for the full cost of the 6 Module training. This term comes into effect upon receipt of your first payment even if cancellation occurs prior to Module 1 commencement.
7. How does the payment plan work?
Participants may either:
1. Pay the full fee upfront
2. Pay over the course of the year in 12 x N$1250 monthly installments
3. Request a payment holiday (join now, start paying later) and propose a customized payment plan for review (There will be no additional fees for those paid in installments).
8. What do I get when I complete the training?
You get a certificate of completion if you want one.
In addition to your own healing experience, at the end of the 6-12 months, you'll also have the opportunity to join us for a short Teacher Training (optional) as well as receive opportunities to begin sharing this work with the Just Breathe community.
WHAT MAKES THIS TRAINING DIFFERENT FROM OTHER TRAININGS?
Extended Training Period & Sustained Structural Support
It takes practice to form a practice.
Unlike most intensives that give you a boost for a while then leave you twisting in the wind, we will be gently hand-holding you through a spacious long-term training with multiple breaks and integration periods in between.
In time, as the community continues to grow, the training may become fully self-study with you having little to no access to your actual teachers, so now really is the best time to join if you are considering it.
Affordable
Rates
You'll be hard-pressed to find a training with this degree of live interaction and feedback at these rates.
Our goal is to make this training as accessible as possible while still keeping the lights on.
That said, each year we tweak and refine our offerings to make it even better so the rates tend to rise along with it.
Our recommendation - get in while it’s good. :)
Unique Multi-Disciplinary Offering
The training fuses sound and energy healing, mindfulness, meditation, breathwork, yoga (very basic and accessible), ballet (very basic and accessible), contemporary and intuitive dance, sensual movement, self-touch, vocal and confidence training, purpose coaching as well as other elements of the performing arts that generate deep and sustained release.
Neither Sven-Eric nor Mel has come across a training that fuses multiple disciplines quite like this. It’s uncertain that they'll ever have the opportunity to collaborate in-person on this type of training again so if it feels like an internal "yes" or if you have any questions please reach out.
We'd be happy to work out a way to make this happen for you.

We look forward to releasing the old and inviting the new with you!
Everyone has trauma.
We get it from our ancestors.
We get in from unprocessed childhood pain. We get it from that cry we really needed last week but just didn’t have the time or opportunity to take.
With life being what it is at the moment so many of us are having these unresolved issues and core wounds triggered, while our usual distractions and coping mechanisms are few and far between.
That’s is why we designed this training.
