1. Signing an agreement of confidentiality and commitment to the training
2. Payment of the training fees.
3. Reading and studying the provided theoretical guidance material sent to each student.
4. Following and contributing to the researching flow using the WhatsApp group or alternative designated communication system.
5. Each student must record their own breathing. This includes capturing their respiratory biomechanics—from basal (resting) breathing to accelerated breathing, as well as voluntary deep breathing. This video will serve as a reference to evaluate the beneficial changes that occur throughout the training.
6. Video recordings for each session:There are 7 individual videos for each person, in which their respiratory biomechanics are assessed and treated. In addition, there are 7 group videos demonstrating the evaluation and treatment of respiratory biodynamics, with groups ranging from 3 to 7 participants,  who can be friends, family, or volunteers. These videos will be recorded and sent to the training director for supervision and analysis. The video will include self-assessment of the evaluation and treatment from Respiratory Psychotherapy, based on knowledge and techniques learned in-person and online sessions. The student will send each of their videos with a timestamp, commenting on successes, errors, and areas for improvement. There is a meeting expectation of a total of 14 videos by the end of in-person sessions.

7. Maintain a diary during the training period with a record of 21 personal practices. Evaluating and treating your own respiratory biodynamics throughout the entire course.These practices facilitate the return to natural breathing and allow each student to reflect on how to attend to and care for another person’s respiratory biomechanics by first experiencing both the difficulties and the ease within themselves.This is a continuous process of working with oneself throughout the course, fostering self-awareness and the ability to accompany others with greater sensitivity and understanding. It is a way to practice the tools and techniques learn in Respiratory Psychotherapy and so verifying the physical, psycho-emotional, and spiritual benefits.
