Guidelines and contraindications
The precautions and practice conditions most courses skip — so you know what to practise, and what to leave alone.

WHAT YOU WALK THROUGH
You begin with the mechanics almost nobody is taught — how the diaphragm actually works, what the nose is for, and why the way you breathe all day matters more than any technique. Then the ground beneath it: where pranayama comes from, what prana actually is, and the koshas. Then the practices themselves, one at a time, each with its purpose, its method and its cautions. It closes with the applied end — breath for stress, clarity, balance and energy — and a full teaching module, if you ever want to pass it on.

Who is this for?
You have never practised and want to be taught properly, from the first breath. Or you have practised for years and know there are techniques you were never shown. You want the physiology and the honest cautions underneath the instruction, not just the instruction. And you would rather walk it at your own pace than be held to somebody else’s schedule.
ABOUT
Jordy Jaarsma
BREATH TEACHER · SACRED VALLEY, PERU
Breath-work carried me through addiction and illness and back to a mind I could live inside. I taught it every morning in Pisac for years — to complete beginners, to yoga teachers, to people in real pain. This program is that teaching, laid out in order so you can walk it at your own speed.

What Students Say
A few weeks ago, I took a practice and meditation course with my dear friend Jordy. It was to improve the focus of my goals and learn about the life purpose that I have and my gifts and my talents. They were weeks of practice to train the mind through going deeply into the consciousness breathing, and Jordy really transmits wisdom through his methodology. I recommend him for many reasons, so if you have the chance, don't miss! I send you a lot of love and have a beautiful journey in your life!
He did an amazing job setting up a space that felt safe, comfortable and relaxing. I always felt calm, peaceful and ready to start the day after practice. Jordy is very knowledgeable about breath work, and he is great at making pranayama accessible to all levels.
Jordy was not only responsible for the breath work classes every day, but he was also organizing mindfulness excursions and was an integral part of the healing ceremonies and events. He consistently displayed professionalism, kindness, compassion, and love while creating a safe space for everyone present.
Though I studied pranayama before, I felt that I still needed to develop a more meaningful practice. Jordy taught me various pranayama techniques and how to apply them with confidence and understanding. He has a wealth of knowledge that helped me to expand my practice way beyond what I thought was possible.
When I took the classes with him I had great physical pain in my chest and difficulty breathing normally. I explained this to him and he sought out specific techniques that helped me work on these aspects. This made me feel safe and supported to open up and go deeper. He embodies the practices he teaches.
There was an air of calm spirituality as you entered his daily early morning gathering. He sensitively guided us through the different pranayama techniques, always giving us the opportunity to improve technique without pressure. His calm voice became the voice in my head for the breathing sessions that I continued to do after I left Peru.
I would walk into class each morning to find Jordy already meditating and in his calm, grounding state. Always a good atmosphere with flowers or candles. We learned not only the different types of breath techniques, but some background on anatomy and physiology. It didn't feel like class. It felt like hanging with a friend.
Meeting and spending time with Jordy has been a blessing. His knowledge and energy combined together made the classes of pranayama so authentic and easy to let myself ease into. His spiritual being and his presence every morning allow me to start my day feeling peaceful and connected with myself on a deeper level.
Jordy was truly an embodiment of the practices. It's clear his teaching comes from his vast knowledge and his own practice. He has such a grounding presence that helps you drop right in, which if you have monkey mind like me, is definitely needed in these practices.
I'm super grateful for Jordy's pranayama lessons, they not only informed me, but I physically got to experience the benefits of pranayama which I now continue to implement into my life. Jordy is a great teacher and has a very friendly loving energy!

QUESTIONS
Questions, answered
Do I need any experience?
None. The first module begins with a single conscious breath and the mechanics almost nobody is taught. If you have never practised before, you are exactly who this was built for. And if you have practised for years, the later modules still hold techniques you have not been shown.
How long does it take?
Eighteen modules and sixty-eight lessons, fully self-paced. Most people move through it in five to ten weeks — a few lessons a week — and you are free to go as slowly as the practice asks. Lifetime access; it keeps for as long as you need.
How is it delivered?
Everything lives in your own online course platform. Watch the lessons there, or download the app and listen to them as a podcast — at home, on a walk, wherever you are. Nothing is scheduled; the whole program is yours from day one.
Can I walk it with you instead?
Yes. The guided round takes the same eighteen modules and adds a small group walking them together, plus two hours one to one with me. The next round opens in autumn 2026. Write to me if that is what you want.
Is it safe to practise on my own?
The guidelines and contraindications run underneath the whole program — the precautions, the practice conditions, and the honest cautions that decide whether a technique serves you or harms you. If you have a medical condition, or you are pregnant, write to me first and we will find the right way in.
The breath was always the door.
Eighteen modules. Sixty-eight lessons. Yours for good.
