Training Overview
You do not need to become anyone other than who you already are. Often, we seek transformation as if it were a distant destination, forgetting that the most profound shift happens when we simply stop and listen. This is the essence of Prana (प्राณ), the steady, sacred rhythm of creation moving through you. It is the primordial vibration that reminds you that you already belong. This training is not about adding more to your life; it is about exhaling the noise and noticing the life-force that has always been here.

This is not a training in the usual sense. For 14 days, from August 18–31, 2026, we live in close connection with our own essence through the art of the breath. Moment by moment, we listen for the simple truth beneath the mental chatter. While this is a 100-hour Yoga Alliance (YACEP) program, the real practice does not happen in a manual; it happens in the quiet arrival of this breath, just as it is.

You do not come here to fix yourself. When you sit still and allow the breath to move freely, you may discover that nothing has ever been missing, much like the way the jungle breathes with the tide without effort. In the heart of Koh Phangan, the tropical heat, ancient palms, and salt air reflect your original nature. The jungle does not try to be the jungle; the sun does not try to be the sun. Similarly, you do not need to force a "spiritual" version of yourself. Practice here is simple: just lying, just breathing, just being alive. When you stop trying to force understanding, the teaching reveals itself.

Our group is kept intimate so we can truly meet one another in the depths of this work. We speak when speaking is needed and remain silent when silence teaches more. Together, we learn to trust the "ordinary mind," the mind that is naturally open, clear, and vibrant with Prana.

Testimonials
Nicole Googe
Coming into this experience I truly only expected to learn how to teach asanas, adjust students, and lead a yoga class. While we did learn how to do these things, we also spent time studying yoga as a whole, and became both meditation and breathwork instructors/facilitators and yoga instructors. This intensive truly changed my life, brought me more in tune with who I am as a person, has changed my daily life perspective & outlook, and as opened countless new doors in life. All of this was made possible by the fantastic teacher, Wolf. While you learn to tune into your inner self, you dive daily into meditation and breathwork, and do extensive yoga practices and practice teaching sessions, he guides the group with a relaxed ease and approach to life that is infectious. What could be taken to the extremes of rigidity and seriousness, Wolf brings to the table with light, laughter, and compassion. While also creating space for serious moments of sharing and learning, we took on Wolf's affable approach to life, and cultivating this approach daily has been a delightful and unexpected takeaway from the experience. I never expected to fall in love with either meditation or breathwork, and now both have become part of my daily practice and two of my most treasured tools. I cannot recommend any retreat with Wolf as the instructor enough. No matter what the situation or day, he will make the experience enlightening and joyful before you've even realized what happened.
Amanda Khosraviani
I participated in the 200 hour meditation, breathwork, and yoga teacher training in the Sacred Valley of Perú in June 2023. From my experience, Wolf creates a supportive, inclusive, learning environment where everyone can learn. He tailors his instruction to the individual and ensures they get the most out of their experience. Wolf provides a holistic expertise of yoga which includes the mind, body, and spirit. Wolf humbly guided me to find my own inner world through meditation and breathwork, which supports my mental well-being and allows me to live authentically and with more awareness in the present moment. The meditation, breathwork, and physical asana techniques I learned from Wolf have allowed me to find more peace, understanding, and patience with myself and life’s many challenges. I’m also pleased that I’ve had the privilege of sharing this love and knowledge with friends and family members as a result of the training. I feel well-equipped to lead classes and workshops. Wolf creates a comfortable atmosphere for people to show up exactly as they are, making space for introspection, reflection, vulnerability, and questions. He is genuinely passionate about sharing the transformative powers of yoga with people of diverse walks of life. You will not regret investing your time in a training or workshop led by Wolf.  As for the Samadhi Retreat Center, it’s a gorgeous facility. It’s clean, modern, and staffed with the kindest people. The food is delicious and the portion sizes are generous. The view of the surrounding mountains is incredible and too mesmerizing for words or pictures. You’ll definitely find the tranquility and zen state you seek at a retreat center like Samadhi.

After experiencing 100’s of facilitators in meditative practices, I can say that I found Wolf to be somewhat rare in his level of insight, patience, and embodiment of what he lives and teaches. I can also highly recommend his 50hr breathwork course to anyone in search of techniques to manage mental health and overall wellbeing, as well as anyone looking to facilitate such. The course was also a great opportunity to meet and get to know many other wonderful like-minded people too.
Franck Crespin
I have joined the one week "Meditation Teacher Training" offered by Wolf Kinsmen from Tree Yoga in July.
After years of meditation practice, this week spent with Wolf has not only opened my scope to guiding meditation sessions through daily practice, but has also enhanced my meditation practice itself by introducing advanced skills from Tibetan and Japanese sources.
I would highly recommend joining Wolf courses, as through his multi-cultural sources and dedication in transmiting his knowledge and practice, Wolf is really bringing you to the next level of your own practice as well as being very inspirational in his teaching and deep reaching conversations.
Alexandra Barnhart
I traveled to Peru looking both to learn and be transformed by breathwork, and my training with Wolf will be near to my heart forever. Wolf is clearly connected to the spiritual world in a way I have not seen in many people. His connection and guidance helped me to connect further with myself and enhance the learning experience. We began each morning with meditation and asana poses, opening us up to learning and diving deep into breathwork. He is knowledgeable many breathwork methods and provided us with a toolbelt of breath types that channel you deeper into relaxation, healing, connecting with your ancestors, etc. I highly recommend moving through this experience with Wolf, it will transform your practice, open your heart, and give you the tools to teach and transform others!
Ashley Baker
I had the privilege of completing a 50-hour meditation certification in Ban Long, Laos under the guidance of Wolf Kinsmen, and the experience was nothing short of transformative. Wolf teaches with deep compassion, patience, and kindness, creating a space that feels both intimate and expansive.
Through his instruction in zazen meditation, I not only learned valuable techniques but also discovered how to embody them with authenticity and presence. Wolf doesn’t just teach—he shares. By opening up about his personal life and experiences, he invited me to do the same, holding space with grace and respect. This balance of teacher and fellow traveler made the training profoundly informative, supportive, and human.
I left the certification with more than a set of tools—I left with clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose in sharing meditation with others. Wolf has a gift for weaving wisdom and practice in a way that feels both sacred and accessible, and I am truly grateful for his mentorship.
If you are looking for a meditation instructor who can guide you not only in practice but also in self-discovery and teaching from the heart, I cannot recommend Wolf Kinsmen enough.

About the teacher

Wolf Kinsmen
In 2004, Wolf Kinsmen started practicing meditation, breathwork, and yoga, eventually guiding international trainings, certifying 76 teachers, and establishing Dhyana Yoga, a Yoga Alliance-certified school. His nomadic life inspired him to become an author and study with global masters.

He explored shamanism with Don Howard among the Shipibo tribe in the Amazon, led ceremonies in Peru, and studied Dzogchen meditation with Sangngak Tenzin Rinpoche at a Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Nepal.

Wolf’s message: "Let go of what you think reality is and feel the flow of reality as it is."
