Beyond Technique, Into Presence

There is a breath that does not strive. It does not push or pull, but moves like a hidden current—quietly guiding us inward. Barratt Breathwork® honors this subtle rhythm. Rooted in the yin essence of receptivity, it offers a sacred return to the breath’s original nature—unforced, intuitive, and alive with quiet intelligence.

This is not a technique to master, but a presence to enter—a gentle unfolding that softens the nervous system, purifies the pranic field, and opens the heart to the radiance of the True Self. In stillness, the breath becomes something more than breath: a thread of Divine remembrance.

If you feel called to a gentler way—one that awakens rather than activates—you are already being drawn toward the deeper intelligence living beneath the breath.

At the Barratt Breath Institute, our trainings unfold in progressive layers, guiding practitioners from personal immersion into professional mastery within the sacred art of breath. Our Foundations and Advanced Facilitator Trainings cultivate regulation, subtle-energy awareness, and the embodied capacity to guide others into stillness and presence.

For those drawn into deeper apprenticeship, our Master-level work is held as an intimate, founder-led transmission—devoted to refined meditative states, energetic literacy, and the art of guiding from the silent field beneath breath itself.

Breath: A Gateway to Stillness

Rooted in the ancient teachings of yoga, this introductory course explores the subtle breath as a bridge to inner stillness and sacred awareness. Beneath the surface of daily life lies a quiet current—a still point within—holding the keys to healing, insight, and transformation. This course invites you to cultivate a deeply personal breath practice that nourishes the soul, supports energetic renewal, and lays the foundation for both personal awakening and professional self-care.

Benefits of Barratt Breathwork®

  • Awakens the Subtle Breath
    Reconnects you with the innate breath—gentle, intuitive, and infused with Divine intelligence. As control dissolves, breath becomes a gateway to the sacred.

  • Purifies the Energy Body
    Softens stagnant energetic patterns and supports the release of emotional residue—restoring flow through the chakras and pranic pathways.

  • Leads You Into Sacred Stillness
    Cultivates meditative absorption (samadhi) where breath slows, thought recedes, and the radiant field of the True Self is revealed.

  • Attunes You to Inner Guidance
    As the mind quiets, intuitive knowing begins to surface—clarity arises not from thought, but from Presence itself.

  • Refines Pranic Sensitivity
    Heightens your ability to perceive and work with subtle energy—opening the body-mind to the deeper language of the breath.

Having been in the health and fitness industry for nearly thirty years,  I have taken many courses for my professional licenses and certification requirements to improve my skills and advance my education.  I know first-hand how difficult online classes can be both as a facilitator as well as a participant.  I recently completed Kathleen Barratt's Restorative Breathwork Foundations Course and found it to be very well organized, professional, and informational.  Her progression of the material was clear and logical.  Her passion was very apparent throughout the course, as she was excited and helpful to her students.  The material in this course will help me improve my skills in teaching meditation, relaxation, and breathing techniques both in one-on-one clinical sessions as well as in a group atmosphere.  This was a refreshing course and I would recommend it to any Yoga Teacher or Health Professional,

Angela Phillips, Founder, Angela Phillips Yoga Center

"My relationship with Kathleen began in the early 1990s at a group breathwork session, and I have kept my heart close to her ever since. Her profound insights have provided me with impactful emotional and spiritual growth through her breath immersions, private sessions, and training programs. I honor her as one of my spiritual teachers and am always elated when my students work with her, as I know that they are taking their yoga practice and life to a deeper level."

Nona Jordan, Master Coach, Guide, and Author

"If you are called to this work of learning the powerful art of supporting your own, and others', healing through the breath look no further—Kathleen's program and her teachings are the real deal: steeped in years of study and experiential knowing. I am grateful she has been, and continues to be, a mentor and guide on my path."

N. Byrne, R.N. and Massage Therapist

"After having been in the healing field as a nurse, and having received energy work from powerful healers, plus psychotherapy, I was surprised to find that Restorative Breathwork allowed me to have the most direct experience with the energy that is the giver of life. Kathleen is an experienced guide who is very wise, powerful, present, and sensitive. Her work alone has been the one force that has instigated my most dramatic spiritual learning."
