What would it be like to fully step into your gifts?
I know how hard you work and how much you care for yourself, but you catch yourself in the same patterns that keeps your from truly embodying and being who you want to become.
Perfectionism, overthinking, and people-pleasing have become so normal for you that it’s hard to imagine it any other way, but you know you are ready for change.
But like always, it’s easier said than done.
you don’t feel confident
you’re feeling insecure about truly embodying your gifts
you’re stuck in imposter syndrome
you’re afraid of being judged
you haven’t embodied your healers archetype
you’re kinda sorta dabbling around really truly reaching the people you love to help
you feel intimidated to truly step into your fullest potential, even if you have done a lot for yourself already
you don’t have the proper support
you’re attached to the old stories
you have self-doubt creep in anytime you’re about to go for it and lean in
your alignment feels off
there’s something in the past you’re still holding on to
there’s so much information out there about where to start, how to grow, where to put your energy; There are endless strategies and blueprints and it’s overwhelming
and to be honest, your confidence and energetic alignment to your highest, most embodied self, is something you’ve been evading.
WE NEED YOU RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW TO
Build confidence in yourself without a shadow of a doubt in your mind so that you can fully show up in all aspect of your life
Deeply (and really) heal the parts of you that still keeps you contained - it’s time to go to the next level
Share what you have been training for your entire life with people who you love to serve
Follow your Intuition and know exactly where you are being led
Embrace and embody the laws of vibration and attraction
Build trust in yourself and know that your skills, gifts, and experiences have immense value and are needed
Align yourself energetically to fully make the impact you were put on Earth to make
Thrive in your practices and help others while doing it
Have fun, enjoy life, and know that we are all work in progress
Build confidence, energetic alignment, and trust in YOURSELF
What’s Flow Breathwork?
Breathwork is an ancient practice utilized by many indigenous cultures and some form of breathwork has existed in every corner of the world for centuries. As many have adapted and built upon breathwork practices, we’ve lost much of the cultural and indigenous roots the practices from which the practices derive. You may hear of breathwork under many trademarked names that refer to this ancient practice.
We’ll train in a unique style of breathwork adapted by Shanila Sattar: FLOW Breathwork. It is a blend of ancient breathwork, movement, energy healing, the elements, and embodiment informed by studies in wisdom traditions. It’s truly the most potent form of somatic healing that lets you tap into both the masculine and feminine energies in the body.
This training heavily focuses on acknowledging and honoring the roots of the practice, learning about the physical science behind breathwork, touches upon the woo and spiritual aspects, provides a supportive container for deep healing, and prepares you to become a conscious, mindful, breathwork facilitator. This training is catered to those looking to learn applied breathwork techniques for practical and everyday use.
Flow Breathwork Facilitator training is highly decolonized with a BIPOC lens, empowers you to both become a facilitator within your community, and receive deep healing for yourself on your personal growth journey.
Students feel confident and EMBODIED
because we’re teaching you a refined and proven methodology to get results for not only your clients, but for YOURSELF.

Flow Breathwork Method
Breath
It all begins with the breath - the precious gift of life. We use the breath to guide our journey, connect with a three-part circular breath, and begin to create expansiveness within.
Movement
Calling in feminine energy to the practice, we move! The body transmutes the breath into a dance, awakening stagnant energies, releasing old patterning, and bringing a sense of freedom, confidence, and knowing. Somatic Experiencing, emotional releases, and intuition awaken.
Energy
As we activate, we hone in on tools in energy healing, art of touch, elements, and begin to access, harness, and flow with potent energetic bodies supported by the breath.
Embodiment
Walk the walk, talk the talk. Embody the practice for yourself through deep inner healing, conscious awareness, integration, and build your confidence as a Flow Breathwork Facilitator!












About your teacher
Hi, I’m Shanila.
I’m the Founder of Flow Breathwork Facilitator Training and The Healing Arts Academy,, best-selling author of Breathe, a 4th generation sound healer, women’s researcher, national speaker, and host of a Top 6 podcast, The Playground, a community for healers and healing.
I’m interested in decolonized wellness, supporting conscious facilitators to put in real applied work in the wellness industry, and have a real world approach to my life’s work. I created Flow Breathwork Facilitator training from a need for a BIPOC lens and appreciation for wisdom traditions where many of our practices derive from. I’ve created my trainings with the vision of honoring the lineages of where our practices come from, learn the science, and have the uncomfortable inequality conversations around health and wellness. My mission is that we are all able to have access and knowledge of the healing tools that help heal us from the inside out.
I’m committed to support healers, coaches, and wellness professionals putting in the applied healing work in communities and spaces where it can make an impact. I practice integrative wellness - considering a person's emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. I love to mix the science and the woo in my practice and hope that I’m able to reach people who may feel that wellness is inaccessible to them, especially in underrepresented, underserved, and marginalized communities.
My background is in tech, having co-founded an award winning web agency, and in women’s research, specifically in mindsets, implicit bias, perfectionism, women's health, and societal experiences supported through the National Science Foundation, National Institute of Health, and several universities. I’m one of the first practitioners to receive grants to support clinical population with sound baths, breathwork, and holistic modalities, and with that support, have been able to implement low cost wellness offerings, programs in women’s shelters, veteran’s legions, and community offerings to help close the wellness accessibility gap.
I’m looking forward to taking this journey with ya.
Practitioner Spotlights
Love from our Students
10/10. I took a while to do this course and finish certification because I took time for my own healing. I watched this training get more and more supportive for healers with everything AlwaysPlay Studios has added to it over the years. I feel so much confidence in myself and I learned a lot about MYSELF on my path to being a good facilitator for others. I love the women I met from the training and some of them have become very good friends. That's my favorite part on top of everything else I loved!
— Janaae Rictor
My favorite part of training with Shanila is the ongoing support she provides. She really want to see us succeed. She speaks with enthusiasm and energy that's unmatched. If you ask for the help, you will get it. I feel so much more confident as a facilitator in all my work because of it, not just breathwork. She's provided service and support beyond what I expected. I'm so glad I jumped into this training!
— Sarah M.
Top to bottom amazing. When I tell you I went on a whole journey with this training. I came in wanting to better myself as a practitioner and take my clients to the next level with breathwork which I was already doing. What I got out of the training is that but also a really deep connection to myself as a practitioner. I faced a lot of deep wounds that helped me become even more aware of my gifts and prepared me to be a better practitioner in so many ways. I couldn't make it to the support calls but always watched on the replay. I know I'm supported.

Shanila is a fantastic teacher, so knowledgable both scientifically and spiritually. She merges the two beautifully. I left the course feeling knowledgeable and empowered myself. I would recommend Shanila in an absolute heartbeat.
— Alice
Shanila is such a rock star in this space. As a 20 year veteran of the yoga and healing world, it is refreshing and restores my faith in this path after participating in her breathwork training. She has the wisdom and doesn't shy away from the important topics of cultural appropriation and spiritual bypassing in her trainings. She is BIPOC-friendly. A true healer and incredible teacher!
— Sheel
Shanila was an amazing facilitator for breath work training. I had been looking for someone I felt energetically pulled to- and I fell upon her and her healing community! I’m so glad I took this course- it was so interactive and I met so many amazing women. Transformational for sure. And I felt supported through the process. worth beyond the investment!!
