So far- it's pretty good and easy to follow.
By Robert LaVeyra Jr on 1/2/2026
Excellent instruction that follows a logical and progressive methodology. Instructor demonstrates knowledge and competence. Ideally, would like more references to the course material.

Coming from a background as a certified yoga teacher and with 40+ years meditating in varying degrees I found Michaels breath works course to be very beneficial (comprehensive, concise, easy to follow). Would highly recommend to both those relatively new to this life skill as well as those wanting to enrich their practice
By Sheena Urlich on 2/20/2024
Very in depth course with good instructions. Covers all major pranayama techniques and offers full, lengthy sessions including yoga Asanas, meditation and more. Michael is a great teacher, I’m also taking his Breathwork instructor course. Thank you for making this wisdom accessible for everyone

I've almost finished this course, and i am so happy i started this pranayama adventure. Since about a year i've been suffering with rheumatoid arthritis. I notice since i'm doing the exercises it really helps ease the pain (of course i am seeing a specialist and getting meds), also i'm more calm and lost 10kg! Michael teaches in a calm and clear manner. Explains wonderfully how to do the exercises. I highly recommend this course and i'm already looking forward doing more courses. Michael, dankjewel!!

I would like to thank Michaël Bijker for this very complete gift. He goes far beyond the simple Pranayama and there are many bonus lectures. Beware that many of the techniques are strong and demanding so they must be practiced in alternance with softer sessions. Thanks again to our teacher. He changed my life quality for good.
By Benjamin Østergreen-Johansen on 5/4/2022
Goes far and beyond anything that I expected. Tons of different breathing techniques, meditation practices, videos explaining how to do it, why we do it, guided meditations, etc. This really is a goldmine for those of you looking to either dive deep into meditation straight away or for the experienced who's looking to broaden their understanding of meditation and experience many new forms of it. Can highly recommend to everyone, absolute gem.
By Theodora Chrysanthopoulou on 5/2/2022
Thank you Michael! You helped me so much with all those valuable information. This was a great learning experience for me which lifted up my body and my mind to a new level of existence. I will sure continue learning and practice with you and your courses. I wish peace, love, happiness and good health.
By Florian Pizana on 9/23/2021
This was another course of Michaël I am thankful to experience. New found insights, depths and clarity. Once again thank you for the tools and your wisdom you share with us. After your Qigong course I could go deeper with my yoga practice, but with this course I can not only go deeper with my daily practice, but also deeper in all of the experiences in day to day life. Thank you
By Jeff Earle on 12/27/2020
I like how clear and concise he is so far.
