postgraduate schedule here

Postgraduate Trainings are offered only to fully certified Middendorf practitioners. Their purpose is to update practitioners with the latest development and refinement in the Experience of Breath. Postgraduate Trainings also serve to support practitioners in their integration of personal growth and as a resource to improve professional identity and qualification.

The average class size ranges between 10 and 20 participants. Elements of teaching are: Breath and Movement, Hands-on Work, Vowel Breath Space Work and Breath Dialogue Skills.

Throughout the year, the Middendorf Institute for Breathexperience offers a variety of one to four day workshops with different leading US and European teachers. See our Schedule of Events and our Postgraduate Schedule. We highly recommend that practitioners participate in at least one or more Postgraduate Trainings a year to keep their standard of professional work on a high level.

The Middendorf Institute for Breathexperience encourages and supports experiential study/research groups for particular themes and special interests in The Experience of Breath. In each Professional Training class, the Middendorf Institute for Breathexperience can admit a limited number of postgraduate trainees. The trainees commit to the full length of the training (14 segments). They participate to support their further growth and continuing education towards a future application as an assistant teacher in a Professional Training or any other long-term program. The trainees help as assistant teachers in the practicing of Hands-on Work in the Training Program.
