PERSONAL EVOLUTION THROUGH MEDITATION & COMMUNITY

Join Us For Free

To those seeking authentic teachings for personal transformation, welcome.

The Breathing Deeply Meditation Program is a global, online community of supportive, like-minded individuals. We value kindness, transparency, respect, and dignity. Guided by our dedicated teacher, we pursue enlightenment so that we can know ourselves more fully and be more present for ourselves and those around us.

Do you find yourself wondering, how can I deepen my meditation practice? Does it feel like your lessons have only scratched the surface? Have you struggled to find teachers whose words resonate with you? Do you wish there was a community where you could ask questions and receive direct answers? If your current approach to meditation is failing to further your practice, if you can’t remember your last breakthrough, if you know that you are capable of something greater — we see you, we hear you, and we are here to help.

You are, as they say in yoga, a householder and the demands of everyday life are part of your reality. You believe in the importance of meditation, but there are times when you struggle to prioritize your practice. You wish there was a more direct approach presented by an accessible, open-minded teacher who, rather than leaning into the mysterious air of the esoteric, offered clear teachings.

An Informed, Straightforward Approach to the Sublime

Whether you are an experienced yoga practitioner seeking to deepen your practice or you are new to meditation, you are in the right place. Our unique framework and methodology offers authentic teachings for personal transformation on many levels and encourages you to prioritize your own evolution. The lessons are more interactive than directive and the program is self-paced, allowing you to evolve and expand at your own speed. Through the gift of technology, we offer the convenience of an online community without compromising connection.

Our founder Brandt Passalacqua is an approachable, compassionate teacher who is invested in his students and their practices. His lessons are meant to inform and evolve your practice and can be easily integrated into your everyday life.

Brandt’s innate ability to simplify the complex is one of the main reasons his teachings have helped countless students. As a Yoga Therapist and seeker, Brandt has been practicing and teaching since 2001. His teacher shared with him both yoga and tantric meditations as well as text study from various traditions. Brandt’s path, as given to him by his teacher, was to fuse those teachings into one coherent path. This fresh, transparent approach to ancient teachings is what you can expect to experience in the Breathing Deeply Meditation Program.

Frequently Asked Questions

The time commitment for this meditation course is designed for people with busy lives. As householders, time is often our most valuable commodity and this course is designed with that in mind.
Because this course is designed to fit around your life, we provide suggestions for practice with the expectation that you have family, work, and/or other life responsibilities. Practices offered do not take huge amounts of time and though consistency can be important, we offer many ways to engage with practice and community.
20-40 minute meditations are available for you to practice 1 or 2 times per day. In addition, time for live interactive Q&A calls and self-reflection are there to support your process. Monthly sadhana talks and both online and residential meditation retreats are also available throughout the year, encouraging students to delve deeper into practice together.

You do not need to know much about meditation or have a meditation practice to join our program. You do however need a sincere and motivated desire to know yourself and practice regularly to gain the benefits of practice.

Absolutely not. Our teaching is based in yoga and tantra traditions but they are designed for all people. You will not be asked in any way to adopt or change your current faith-based practices. Yoga is accessible to all regardless of culture or belief system. There is some chanting in this course and it may be modified or skipped to match your faith-based needs.

The main teachings are based on expanding awareness and finding the oneness and understanding the similarities in diverse teachings. Brandt’s main teacher taught him both yoga and tantra techniques and this program is an offering of these concepts through his lens of practice, fusing key practices and teachings that he has been given. His work is also influenced by years of meditation mentoring and work as a yoga therapist helping individuals expand consciousness and find stability in practice.

This is a big question! The short answer is that we are here to know ourselves more fully and be more present for ourselves and those around us.

No. Each one of us is an independent thinker and spiritual support comes from many places. No one is required to see anyone as “above” themselves. We are committed to providing a safe environment for all students to practice and expand their knowledge.

Absolutely! The course is designed in two parts for this reason. Many of us wish to deepen our practice and evolve, but that does not in any way mean that we want to be a meditation teacher or “mentor”. If this is the case for you, we invite you to join the Meditation Program.

Sure. Check out Brandt’s one hour practice here:

 

You can’t fall behind, ever! The course is self-paced and designed to support your practice indefinitely.

How Do I Become a Meditation Mentor?

If, after being enrolled in our meditation community for six months, you feel called to guide others on their personal path, we invite you to apply to our Meditation Mentor Certification Program. While we recognize that being a meditation mentor is not for everyone, we designed this course in two parts so that those who wish to pursue this path can easily continue on their journey.

Breathing Deeply Meditation Retreat

“I have meditated quite a bit and had some ‘big’ universal consciousness type experiences doing so. I tried to integrate them into regular life for about 10-15 years. Once I started studying with Brandt I made more progress with that in one year than in the previous 15 years. I tried different practices and communities but couldn’t find one that I felt comfortable in. I wanted a systematic exploration of techniques within a community to help me stay consistent with my meditation practice, even through big life shifts, when I’d tend to falter in consistency, always to my detriment.”
