Orygen Breathwork™

At some point you stop needing more insight into yourself and start needing a way to stay with yourself.

This is where Orygen Breathwork™ begins.

In the words you choose, the breath that belongs to you, the work you share, the way you ask, receive and decide what comes next.

Welcome to the world of Orygen Breathwork™

Every woman deserves access to mastery of both her breath and her brilliance.

Success gets to feel as easeful as oxygen.

It is abundant and all around us, and this is where we restore breath to its original state.

What begins as a practice becomes the way you make decisions, the way you lead, and the way you hold a room. This is the world that holds all of it: a method, a community, monthly practices, and a professional standard you can build a career on.

 

This month's free masterclasses

Enter through the conversation that meets you here.

Ninety minutes, live online, every month. Each class gives you space to practise, reflect and take your own words into your life. Many of the women who train with us started in one of these rooms.

The Orygen Method™

Stability is the foundation. Expansion is the direction.

You are learning how to create enough steadiness that something real can move, without the room becoming dependent on intensity to feel transformative. Three pillars, built in this order, because the order is the method.

Stability

01 · The ground

Stability

The nervous system finds safety in the space, the facilitator and itself. You learn to set clear expectations, offer real choices and guide at a pace the body in front of you can meet.

Safety is not declared. It is transmitted.

Integration

02 · What is carried home

Integration

You learn to support the transition out of an experience, and help a participant consider what she carries into her week, including follow up, practical support and referral.

The pause is the house.

Capacity

03 · What you can hold

Capacity

The depth you can safely hold for others is the capacity you have built in yourself. You develop your ability to work with different responses, with group dynamics and with the responsibility of leading.

Structure without contact is a clinic. Contact without structure is a mess.

The transformation

What you will be able to do when a real person is in front of you.

Your professional confidence develops through practice and feedback. By the end of the eight weeks, these are the things you can do.

Certification reflects the standard you have actually demonstrated, rather than the sessions you attended.

01Plan and explain a session clearly

What the practice involves, what it asks of a participant, and what she can expect.

02Complete screening and establish informed consent

Intake, contraindications, and the conversation that happens before anybody lies down.

03Guide the Orygen session structure

The full seven phase arc, without rushing it or losing your own ground.

04Respond to what a participant reports

Recognise when to adjust, when to simplify, when to pause, and when to refer.

05Bring an experience to a considered close

The immediate return, integration, and the limits of what you can responsibly offer.

06Use your own breath without a facilitator

The practice that belongs to you, on an ordinary Tuesday, with nobody else in the room.

07Work within a defined scope, and say where it ends

Including when another professional is the right answer and yours is not.

Two pathways

Two ways in. One certification.

However you arrive, you leave an Orygen Breathwork™ certified facilitator. The same curriculum, the same observed practicum, the same IPHM accreditation. Choose the path that fits your life.

Elise Rose teaching

Meet the founder and senior trainer

I'm Elise Rose.

Founder of Orygen Breathwork™. Creator of the Orygen Method™. Author of The Woman After.

I care deeply about women owning their practice. Knowing how to work with their breath in the middle of their own lives.

I know what it takes to change the way you introduce yourself, and to step out of the roles that were prescribed to you.

My work sits at the intersection of breath, identity work and embodied self leadership. That language has taken time to arrive at. There have been decisions behind it that changed the shape of my days, my business and what I am available to create.

The Woman After by Elise Rose

The book

The Woman After.

What it actually takes to become the CEO of your life.

A breathwork case study in self leadership and identity transformation, written through the lived experience and medicine of the founder of Orygen Breathwork™.
