Deeper Sleep Training | VIRTUAL LIVESTREAM

16 & 17 October 2021 | with Ben Wolff & Clare MacDonald

10-hour Livestream Online VIRTUAL Training  | Available on CATCH UP for 7 days for anyone who has booked and is unable to attend the livestreamed event

Breathing Institute founder Ben Wolff and senior Breathing Institute founding member Clare Macdonald come together to share their considerable experience and expertise in this exciting new training focused on sleep. 

This course is aimed at anybody wishing to support and understand how to improve sleep whether for themselves or for continued professional development. The knowledge and skills imparted draw upon a range of disciplines including breath work, neuroscience, physiology, clinical hypnotherapy and biochemistry. The course can be attended to enhance your life personally, or as a stand-alone (Yoga Alliance) accredited CPD training – and also as an optional module on our 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training programme. 

Course Overview

The Shala School of Yoga, in association with Ben Wolff and Clare MacDonald are extremely excited to present this new livestreamed VIRTUAL course. It is suitable for:

  • therapists, life coaches and health care professionals who wish to support clients with insomnia and sleep issues
  • yoga and mindfulness teachers wishing to deepen their knowledge of this topic. Those who wish to teach others can join The Breathing Institute - more information on this is at the bottom of the page
  • the general public who would like to learn simple tools to help and support themselves or a loved one

Sleep is e-ver-y-thing and disturbed sleep can be debilitating – the more we crave sleep the more elusive it can become. Why is this and what can we do to correct it? 

We will not be going over the familiar territory of caffeine, blue light and lavender, instead we will be combining the very latest in neuroscience, hypnotherapy, biochemical research, all brought together with the science of breath to teach you how to revolutionise sleep for yourself and or your clients, students and patients.

The course takes the form of two livestreamed "lecture-based" mornings over one weekend online. It explores a serious subject in an inspiring, compassionate and accessible way, with the opportunity to ask questions and interact via the chat function on Zoom.

    Clare MacDonald

    Clare is a senior founding member of the Breathing Institute, Sleep and Dream Yoga enthusiast and Yoga Nidra teacher.  Much of her work over the past few years has been to encourage others to rest and improve the quality of their sleep. As a former insomniac Clare understands sleeplessness and is passionate about delivering information and techniques that really help.

    These sleep trainings, which Clare has co-created with Ben, is like no other. It offers a new perspective on the causes of sleeplessness (beyond the usual explanations; blue light, stress, caffeine etc) to liberate us from insomnia and reinvent the night for magic and loveliness.

    As well as helping adults find a new relationship with sleep Clare also teaches parents how to help their children sleep. Her magical, playful and creative approach combines the breath, imagination, neuroscience, hypnotherapy and guided meditation. These techniques are also helpful for worried or anxious minds too, so that they can drift off and you can relax. Visit Clare's website.

      I have been mouth taping at night for at least 6 weeks, and since the Help for Sleep workshop have also been doing the 4-7-8 breaths followed by the balloon breath at bedtime. I haven't slept this well in years, so thank you.
