Your Trainer

Andrea Cygler

This course will be led by experienced Breathworks teacher Andrea Cygler.

Andrea has been a member of the senior training team for Breathworks for over 10 years. She was trained by the Breathworks founders, and has since gone on to train and supervise hundreds of new Breathworks mindfulness teachers. An experienced and well-qualified wellbeing practitioner, she has taught and practised complementary health, stress management and resilience training for over 20 years, working with all ages and diversities in Merseyside and North West of England.

Andrea is committed to enabling individuals in taking an active and integrative approach to their wellbeing. She encourages a deep understanding of the connection and relationship between body, mind and spirit.

In her freelance work, she has brought mindfulness to areas including women’s refuge, rehab and recovery, suicide prevention and mental health awareness training. In her own practice of supporting others she has become particularly interested in the cycles of nature, and how we can align ourselves with its natural rhythms.
