Breathwork & Somatic Therapy Advanced Training in Bali
Breathwork & Somatic Therapy Advanced Training in Bali, 2026
Set in the sacred landscapes of Bali, this Advanced Breathwork & Somatic Therapy Training is an immersive journey into the living intelligence of the body, breath, and nervous system.
This training is designed for practitioners who are ready to move beyond technique — into embodiment, refinement, and mastery. Through trauma-aware breathwork, somatic therapy, nervous system regulation, and elemental wisdom, you will deepen your capacity to hold safe, attuned, and transformative spaces for others.
Participants are guided by an internationally experienced breathwork teacher alongside a Chi Nei Tsang instructor trained at Tao Garden, bringing teachings from Chinese healing traditions and the Mantak Chia lineage.
Surrounded by temples, water, earth, and ritual, Bali becomes not just a location, but a co-facilitator in the learning. Here, ancient wisdom meets modern somatic science — supporting profound personal healing while strengthening your professional skills as a facilitator.
This is an invitation to:
Refine your presence as a space holder
Work skillfully with trauma, emotions, and the nervous system
Integrate body-based therapy with conscious breath
Learn through experience, ritual, and deep practice
This training is for those who feel the call to serve through embodiment, integrity, and heart-led facilitation.

Ph.D., certified in Breathwork and a Reiki Master, Kristine blends ancient practices with modern knowledge. In 2015, she left her corporate and academic career to begin a profound journey of self-discovery through meditation, yoga, shamanism, energy healing, and spiritual exploration across the globe.
She has had the blessing to learn from many masters and healers. Her meditation path led her to Buddhist temples, where she stayed to immerse herself in Vipassana and Anapanasati practices. She received her spiritual name Niranjana (“unblemished”) from realized teacher Ganga Ma, and blessings (darshan) from Amma, the Hugging Saint.
On the shamanic path, Kristine experienced the healing power of ancestral medicine, including completing a master plant dieta in the Peruvian Amazon with a highly respected curandero, and later co-holding transformative shamanic retreats.
She received the Transmission of Cosmic Vision Energy from Grandmaster Mantak Chia, and trained in person with Dan Brulé, a leading breathwork teacher and student of Babaji and Leonard Orr. She also trained with Prem Luca, direct student of Stanislav Grof and Osho sannyasin, integrating deep therapeutic breathwork into her work.
Kristine brings a holistic, heart-centered approach rooted in Breathwork, Reiki, meditation, and shamanic wisdom, holding powerful spaces for healing, transformation, and spiritual growth.
For the last several years, Kristine has been teaching Breathwork Teacher Training Courses and holding healing retreats, sharing her vast experience with students worldwide.

We provide comfortable, thoughtfully designed accommodation that supports rest, nervous system regulation, and integration.
Our meals are an integral part of the training experience, designed to support the body, nervous system, and deep inner work.
