Ali Gilling

Hi, I’m Ali, a double certified Breathwork trainer, certified Breath Science practitioner, and grief-certified facilitator. I am the lead trainer for the daytime cohorts with Seven Directions Breathwork Facilitator Training.

My journey began in 1994 in India, living in ashrams, immersed in the study of yoga philosophy and meditation. Those formative years laid the foundation for a lifelong path of grounded practice, presence and deep inner exploration.

Since 1999, I’ve been running retreats and workshops internationally blending conscious connected breathwork, breath science, mindful movement, meditation, and nervous system education to support people in reconnecting to their bodies and returning to themselves.

I’ve guided many facilitators in how to hold space with integrity and embodied leadership. I’m passionate about creating safe, grounded, and heartfelt spaces where breath becomes the bridge back to wholeness. My work meets people where they are, with compassion, presence, and respect for the pace of the healing journey.

I’m also a mindfulness meditation and yoga teacher, trained as a mental health first aider. I specialise in working with grief, anxiety, emotional recovery, and breathing pattern dysfunction, using breath science, breathwork, mindfulness, and somatic practices.

The next Breathwork Faciltator Training is on 23rd September 2026. It is a comprehensive 400-hour of teaching, mentoring and continuing development with a trauma-informed curriculum and an immersive experiential learning all held within a supportive framework designed to empower and sustain you in your path as a breathwork facilitator.
