Discover the Transformative Power of the Biodynamic Breathwork Trauma Release System

Welcome to the Biodynamic Breathwork Institute

At the Biodynamic Breathwork Institute (BBTRI), founded by Giten Tonkov, we are dedicated to empowering individuals to unlock their true potential and achieve holistic well-being. Our flagship offering, the Biodynamic Breath Trauma Release System (BBTRS®), is the culmination of years of research and expertise in breathwork and trauma healing.

 

BBTRS® represents the synergy between Giten’s visionary leadership and the collective wisdom of the BBTRI team. Rooted in Eastern and Western philosophies, ancient practices, and cutting-edge science, BBTRS® offers a transformative journey towards self-discovery, healing, and personal growth.

 

Join us as we embark on a journey to harness the power of breath and unlock the full spectrum of human potential. Whether you’re seeking personal healing or professional development, BBTRS® offers a path to profound transformation.

What, Exactly, Is BBTRS®?

The Biodynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release System is a spiritual and physical growth process focused on creating space and relaxation in the body. It touches six different access points into the mind-body-spirit, using Eastern and Western wisdom and techniques, ancient practices, and cutting-edge science. This revolutionary healing modality invites us to feel—really feel—our physical bodies, hearts, minds, spirits, and energy centers.

 

This intimate personal relationship allows us to stand more powerfully in the world, release stress and tension, consciously step away from negative patterns, and embrace our fullest potential. BBTRS is the beginning of a life-changing journey that we call FEEL TO HEAL.

Can BBRTS® Really Make a Difference?

We live in a world full of trauma—social, familial, religious, and generational. People are contracted, filled with tension that can be carried throughout their lifetimes, and even passed on through a particular race or religion. That is the main reason we started this training. There is a real need for healing in the world. We want people to go out there and do it.


We are starting a kind of revolution. Fighting for peace is not possible, so the only real change comes through changing ourselves. As Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” We believe in bringing our “inner work” out into the world. BBTRS practitioners have transformed themselves. Thus, they are able show other people where they have gone before. Spiritually, academically, emotionally, they have transformed traumatic patterns and behaviors into growth.


We have found that the response is immediate for people who explore this work—whether it’s first experienced as a stand-alone therapy, or as part of a multi-dimensional practice, or maybe in a large breath meditation at a festival. Just one experience is enough to make people curious to look deeper. We sincerely hope it works for you, too.

Is BBTRS® Only For
Professionals?

Not at all! At BBTRI®, we cater to both individuals seeking personal growth & healing and professionals looking to enhance their therapeutic skills.

Professional Practitioner Certifications

Our Professional Practitioner Certifications are crafted for current or future practitioners who believe that BBTRS® can enhance their ability to help clients feel better. We offer two certifications: the Professional Practitioner Certification for online delivery and the Advanced Professional Practitioner Certification for both online and in-person sessions.

After attending a Personal Growth & Healing Workshop, participants have the opportunity to advance their training by pursuing one of our Professional Practitioner Certifications. These certifications offer comprehensive training and certification in the Biodynamic Breathwork Trauma Release System (BBTRS), equipping individuals with the skills and expertise needed to facilitate transformative BBTRS sessions professionally. Moreover, upon completing the Professional Practitioner Certification, individuals can choose to further elevate their practice by upgrading to the Advanced Professional Practitioner Certification, which provides an advanced level of training and certification in BBTRS, both online and in person.

What Do We Learn?

Once we know what’s happening within us—what’s working, what’s open, what’s tight, what hurts—the modality teaches several tools that help us channel our body’s own natural healing skills. We begin with a particular type of breathwork that stimulates the body’s natural nervous-system processes.

 

This stimulation allows the body to move in a natural, organic expression—which literally, physically, releases tension, “cleaning out” our tissues, relieving our minds, and resetting our energy. Additional Elements, including meditation, bodywork, sound, and emotional expression facilitate the release and expand the experience into a holistic, life-changing one.

Is BBTRS® a Good Fit For You?

BBTRS® workshops, trainings, and webinars are attended by people who come from a rich variety of backgrounds. Of course, trauma-informed breathwork practitioners are a perfect fit, but anyone Interested in a new career in holistic arts can find fulfillment with us. We also welcome practitioners in many other modalities, including breathwork, somatic, medical, mental health, and spiritual/energetic specialties.

We offer both personal and professional training tracks to support those who simply want to experience this modality for themselves—and for practitioners who would like to add BBTRS to their own professional offerings. These options are available to anyone exploring the program, regardless of your background.

How Does This Modality Help Trauma Dissipate?

Scientists have mapped how the body reacts to trauma; it stimulates our “fight or flight” system. Tension from reactions to trauma can be left behind for days, years, or decades—and even day-to-day stress can wreak havoc on our quality of life, our health, and our relationships. BBTRS® works because our automatic, physiological stress responses are quite similar to what happens during a spiritual experience—we enter an altered state. BBTRS’s therapeutic tools can access that altered state—and gently release what trauma has left behind.

From this loving and therapeutic perspective, even past traumatic experiences have the potential to assist in deep and healthy transformations. And future experiences become more layered, subtle, and integrated.

We encourage you to read our students’ reviews; many say that BBTRS® has changed their lives.
