Vision

Our vision is to train world-class practitioners to share an integrated, body-oriented, multi-modal approach to trauma healing. Courses are not limited to those who want to become certified breathwork and trauma release practitioners. They are open to anyone invested in personal healing, growth and transformation.

BBTRS® is continually evolving, with new tools from both bodywork and science being integrated constantly to keep it fresh and innovative.

“Feeling the impacts of social, familial, religious and even generational trauma, people are contracted. That is the main reason we started the BBTRS® training. There is a real need for this work in the world.”

Giten Tonkov, Founder

The European Institute of Body Oriented Healing Arts

As a natural outgrowth of their work together Nisarga Bobosz and Giten Tonkov established the European Institute of Body Oriented Healing Arts (EIBOHA) in 2013. It is focused on training practitioners interested in gaining professional skills in body-oriented healing modalities, with an emphasis on Structural Integration, Pain Healing and Trauma Healing. Both BioDynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release System® and Myofascial Energetic Release (MER) are offered as trainings.
