Leonard D. Orr
Leonard developed Rebirthing Breathwork in the 1970s and became the central founder of the modern Rebirthing movement.
An immersive residential professional training in Rishikesh led by Heike Strombach with Arti Saxena — created for people who want to understand the work deeply before learning to facilitate it.
This is not a weekend technique workshop. It is a residential learning environment where your own breathing practice, self-inquiry and facilitator development unfold together.

Rebirthing becomes meaningful when the breath is not only explained but experienced. Throughout the training, Conscious Connected Breathing becomes a living practice through which you develop awareness of breath, thoughts, responses and the way you hold space.
The goal is not to chase a dramatic experience. It is to cultivate presence, sensitivity and a deeper understanding of the process.
The training is designed as a progression rather than a list of disconnected techniques.
Build direct experience with Conscious Connected Breathing and personal Rebirthing sessions.
Explore breath patterns, thoughts, beliefs, mind mastery and self-inquiry without forcing a predetermined result.
Experience Water Rebirthing, Fire Purification and the wider elemental framework of air, water, fire, earth and ether.
Develop presence, communication, observation and responsibility when accompanying another person's process.
Remain connected through online seminars and workshops for one year after the residential training.
Develop a deeper relationship with continuous conscious breathing — the central practical foundation of Rebirthing.
Experience the work personally and learn to observe what emerges through the breathing process.
Become more sensitive to breathing patterns, rhythm and the relationship between breath and awareness.
Explore thoughts, beliefs and recurring mental patterns as part of your own learning process.
Experience guided Water Rebirthing within the traditional body of Rebirthing practice.
Work with fire as part of the elemental purification practices included in the residential immersion.
Explore air, water, fire, earth and ether within the wider Rebirthing tradition.
Explore how birth experience and early conditioning are approached within Rebirthing self-inquiry.
Build awareness, communication and practical responsibility for supporting others.
Fire Purification · Elemental Practice
Professional learning becomes more meaningful when practice is integrated into the whole training environment. Water Rebirthing, Fire Purification, personal sessions, reflection and residential living create different contexts in which awareness can deepen.
The practices are included as guided learning experiences — not as promises of a particular emotional or medical outcome.
The strength of this program is not only what is taught, but also where the teaching comes from.
Leonard developed Rebirthing Breathwork in the 1970s and became the central founder of the modern Rebirthing movement.
Heike began studying and working with Leonard Orr in 1991 and went on to lead professional trainings with him over many years.
Arti completed a 21-day intensive with Heike in March 2020 and has continued through seminars, workshops, more than 100 sessions and SALT training in June 2026.
