Pranayama: YTT Module TNP Wellness 200-Hour YAECP® Teacher Training

The Breath Is the Tool — Most Teachers Just Don’t Know How to Use It

Every yoga teacher cues the breath. But there’s a significant difference between saying “breathe deeply” and understanding how specific breath practices directly regulate the nervous system, shift emotional states, and create lasting change in the body.

Most yoga teachers and wellness practitioners find themselves:

• Cueing breath as an afterthought rather than an intentional therapeutic tool
• Unfamiliar with the science behind why certain techniques calm or energize the system
• Limited to one or two breath techniques they learned in their initial training
• Unsure how to sequence breathwork alongside movement for maximum effect
• Missing the language to teach pranayama in a way that’s accessible and grounded

Without a solid pranayama foundation, you’re leaving one of yoga’s most powerful tools on the table.

What You’ll Learn in This Module

Led by Brianna Whitfield — 200-Hour Yoga Certified, Reiki Practitioner, Trauma-Informed Wellness Educator, and 300+ Hours of Continuing Education — this module gives you both the science and the practice of breath as a tool for nervous system regulation, stress reduction, and emotional balance.

You’ll learn:

• Foundations of pranayama — the principles, history, and science behind breath as a regulatory tool
• Nervous system regulation — how specific techniques activate the parasympathetic or sympathetic response and why that matters
• Practical breathwork techniques — a working toolkit of pranayama practices you can use and teach immediately
• Applications for wellness and teaching — integrating breathwork into classes, sessions, and personal practice with intention
