By Maggie Jandova on 4/18/2026

Overall it's a good course, it does a good job in demonstrating the different techniques and explaining the basics, so if you want to get more exposed to pranayma, it works. When it comes to yoga philosophy it only scratches the surface, it's too basic to really understand it or apply to your day to life. Lastly, the counting in pranayamas is really off, the teacher talks a lot during the inhales and exhales, making e.g. 5s inhale double the length. This is somewhat frustrating.

By Bhuvinder Juttla on 12/18/2025

With so many instructors offering breathwork, it was important for me to learn the fundamentals of Pranayama from a source that is equipped with immense knowledge. I had been practicing for many years but now I know why certain Pranayamas are done in a certain way. Explaining this now is easier and everything was delivered in the right size nuggets. I would highly recommend training with Bodsphere and I look forward to sharing these learnings as a Pranayam Teacher with my clients.

By Sabina Baronova on 11/16/2025

The course was well structured, detailed information and good guidance. I struggled in practical excercises when the teachers guidance was very slow- not in tact with what he instructed. But I just practices by my own pace- the practices were very well explained. Thank you very much. I love to be able to take the course in my own pace.

By Margot M on 11/14/2025

To be clear, I didn't finish the course yet. I'm around 20% but so far it exceeds my expectations. My granddad was a yoga and pranayama teacher for over 50 years, he was one of the first in our country. I was always intreagued but never learned... now he has alzheimer's disease and I feel the sudden urge and need to learn about his way of living. This course is helping me do that, so thank you very much.

By Nina Ronja Bundi on 11/4/2025

Overall, this Pranayama Teacher Training was very informative and full of valuable knowledge. The course covers a wide range of techniques and provides a solid theoretical foundation. You can really tell that the Bodsphere team has a lot of expertise and experience in this field. However, it seems that the course material has been updated and adjusted several times over the years, which has led to some inconsistencies. The written manual doesn’t always match the video content, and the order of topics isn’t entirely chronological. While watching the videos, you often need to search for the corresponding section in the script, and sometimes information mentioned in the videos isn’t written down—or vice versa. Additionally, the way each breathing technique is presented varies, which can make it a bit harder to follow at times. Despite these minor issues, I’m still very happy with the course and grateful for all the knowledge and inspiration it provided.

By Melisa Uchida on 10/29/2025

I'm really enjoying the course. Love learning and practicing the advanced stages of pranayama. It's challenging with shorter inhalations and longer breathholds. Very much what I've been needing to add into my daily spiritual practice. I did. not know how to advance in pranayama. Thank you! I also loved the lesson on the elements and hands as the intro to mudras.

By Margherita Cartisano on 10/12/2025

Love the instruction authentic and am enjoying it. Simple instructions and are easy to understand, and the teachers are authentic. The course is excellent and makes you a better teacher and is wonderful for personal practice, which is the key to teaching.

By Kwaku A. on 11/30/2023

This course was VERY detailed and insightful. Very in depth for traditional Bahratan (Indian) Breathwork. I will definitely be coming back to utilise these tools as I build out my own practice. The only critique I have is a technical one: I'd definitely combine some of the shorter videos and not have the intro music for every single video. Other than that, this course was phenomenal and I would HIGHLY recommend you check it out!

By Sandra D'Souza on 6/16/2023

Thank you so much Preetika and Sam...I loved the format of the course and of course the content ,it is just what I was looking for and I will continue to reach back to this content frequently on my pranayama journey...All the best for all your endeavours...as they say in our country...phulo aur phalo ,namaste.

By Elizabeth Sosa Castañeda on 6/3/2023

This has been an excellent learning experience for me. I greatly appreciate your teaching style. The course was easy to understand, you were consistent with each pranayama practice. I also appreciate the resources you supplied to support my learning. I had questions about certain books that your recommended. Upon emailing my questions you responded quickly and were very helpful. In short the course was easy to learn, very enjoyable and the resources support even deeper learning. Since I began your course I have been practicing pranayama every day. There is a gentle shift happening inside myself that is creating more peace, clarity and love. Thank you ❤️ Elizabeth Sosa Castañeda
