Founder and Director, Jeremy Youst
Jeremy has been facilitating loving empowerment for individuals and groups for over twenty-five years. Initially trained in Re-evaluation Counseling, he began teaching classes and co-leading workshops in 1979. His interest in Native American studies led to trainings in shamanic healing and the beginning of a monthly Sacred Circle, a spiritual gathering that met in Keene, NH for 17 years.
Jeremy’s interest in breathwork began in 1989, and continued until 1998 when he received his Facilitator Certification from the Transformational Breath Foundation. In 1999 he became a Board member and then was certified as a Senior Trainer of the TBF. Then, in 2001, Jeremy co-founded with his wife, Helaine Iris and colleague, Maryanna Bock, the Power of Breath School for Life Mastery (now called the Power of Breath Institute) and began offering classes, workshops and trainings. In the spring of 2003, Jeremy initiated the 9-month Empowerment Training program and then in 2004 the 9-month Facilitator Certification Training program, the completion of which provides students with international breathwork certification.
In 2004, Jeremy became a member of the International Breathwork Foundation as the National Coordinator for U. S. breathwork community. In 2005 he became a board member of the International Breathwork Training Alliance, an organization dedicated to establishing the ethical and professional standards for breathwork around the world.
In 1989 Jeremy became involved in men’s work and started a weekly Men’s Circle that has periodically met in Keene ever since. Then, in 2002 he became a board member and volunteer facilitator for the Monadnock Men’s Resource Center of Keene.
In addition to his workshop and training schedule, Jeremy currently maintains a private practice in Keene, NH. He enjoys nurturing his family and community and in his spare time can be found either in his yard carving pipestone or walking in nature.
