Empowerment Training
The Power of Breath Institute’s
2012 Empowerment Training
“If you want to learn how to empower yourself and find your true self and live a happy, fulfilling, productive life, take this course! It will give you the tools to work through your issues and support you to become all that you can be – and all that you really are!”
Lisa Silverman, graduate
The POBI Empowerment Training, delivered by internationally recognized breathwork trainer and facilitator, Jeremy Youst, is the keynote course of all the programs at the Power of Breath Institute. The 2012 Empowerment Training takes place over a eight month period from April through November, at the rural setting of the Broadwing Breath Center in Spofford, NH, USA.
“Empowerment refers to the process by which you improve your ability to fully engage in your life, learn to live free from fear and in peaceful harmony with reality. Empowerment is to BE in the presence of Love, Truth and Beauty; while developing inner strength, self-awareness and the freedom that comes from physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being.” Jeremy Youst
What sets this program apart from other personal growth programs is its real and integral approach to healing – “walking the talk” of body, mind, heart and spirit – taking into account your True Self, your safety and personal environment, as well as developing the support of community. Building safety and trust first, we cultivate the loving self awareness that can lead to deep transformation and healing. We build on this solid foundation so you can integrate your day-to-day experience more fully and easily while being able to make the choices that will fulfill your life to its highest potential.
Designed from over 30 years of group work, the POBI Empowerment process uses a well-balanced blend of therapeutic breathwork, cognitive inquiry, group process, spiritual exercises and ceremony in the natural world to encourage the recovery of each participant’s true and loving nature.
The 8-month period you spend with Jeremy and staff will be skillful, intensive, interactive and experiential. It will challenge you to become the fullest and highest expression of your Self, while fully supporting you throughout the process.

Have you ever felt this way?
- There was something more you were meant to do with your life but haven’t been able to find a way to do it?
- Like you’ve been dealing with fears and/or emotional issues and can’t quite seem to break through them?
- You feel lonely, isolated and/or can’t seem to find the friends or relationships you need – or aren’t able to make the changes you know you need to make in the relationships you have?
- Trapped or confused, like your work or life is some kind of game of pretend?
- Like it’s time to follow your dreams and finally listen to your soul’s calling?
If you can find yourself in any of these questions, please say YES to this life-transforming program – and call or email to register now. Space is limited; we are only accepting 10 new participants this year. If you do, you will experience the long-term benefits that will change your life for good!
“Every month mysteriously revealed new information and awareness that surprised and delighted me. I distinctly remember ending each month saying, “There is no way this month can be topped,” and quite magically it was, and that which entered in the following month was amazing! Each month unveiled more lessons and surprises. Now I find myself here, looking back in awe. It’s amazing-I never knew I had such a capacity for love-love for myself and love for others. I also have discovered a new level of joy! I never thought I could ever feel this happy.
It’s wonderful and I am humbly grateful.” Beth White

Here’s what some Empowerment students had to say:
“I have entered the Truth of Me that is beyond all doubt.” T. N., teacher.
“I think the most valuable thing (and I am taking from this training) is this deep sense of self-love and the capacity to love my brothers and sisters in our group… I am taking with me the Knowing that I have been truly seen, heard, loved, that I am lovable, that I am accepted fully – all parts of me, that I am honored for who I am… I would especially recommend you, Jeremy, for your presence, your experience, your skills as a spiritual midwife, facilitator, presenter, ritual master, jokester, your love and joyful embracing of life. And I would also speak to the depth of connection that gets nurtured within the context of skillful learning – for that’s the juicy part…” Elizabeth A.
“. . . I love this work. I mean, sometimes it SUCKS – it STINKS, big time… Because in this you totally dive into the places you have always avoided – have always run from. But the richness, the fullness of life, when you go into it, for all it contains, is so amazing. How in the world did I EVER live any other way? Wow. And it continues to deepen and become more enriched – this life with breath. I Love all of it. All of it. That’s the key…” Cyndy K.
“Today, I feel that I am aware of my true Self and purpose. Over the last nine months I have come to accept the inclinations, abilities and guidance that I have long hidden away – and I have let go of the addictions that I hid behind… The empowerment of Self (is) a journey that connects you to the Source. (It) is a journey that will push and tug and pull your soul to examine the true purpose of walking on this planet and help you to serve others… Whether or not you become a “Breath Facilitator”, you will find your purpose and begin serving others as a part of your path/karma, and learn to find love in every moment…” Peter H.
