Frequently asked questions

Is this safe for people with anxiety or health conditions?

We screen every participant before the session. If you have a heart condition, blood pressure concerns, or severe anxiety, we'll talk through whether this is right for you. Our facilitators adjust the experience to your comfort level. No one is forced into anything.

What if I can't handle the cold?

Not every masterclass involves cold immersion. If yours does, you build up gradually with guided breathwork first. Our facilitators are beside you the whole time. If you need to step out, you step out.

Can I learn anything meaningful in one session?

Yes. Each masterclass goes deep on a single topic. You leave with the science behind the practice and techniques you can use on your own. If you want to go further, Sagara also offers multi-day retreats and a full facilitator certification program.

What if I don't feel anything?

Breathwork and cold immersion affect everyone differently. Some people feel a shift in the first ten minutes. Others notice changes in their sleep or stress levels over the following days. We teach you what to pay attention to so you can track your own response.

How do I book a private session for my organization?

Nami Cabales

"I thought I enrolled for a teacher training but it seems like I was in a healing and transformational retreat. More than the need to learn theories and skills, Sagara has perfectly lead us to a humbling experience of teaching ourselves first, emptying our own cups and learning from the simplest lessons in life.

The training has not just honed my skill of nurturing people, but has also sheltered my own space into healing and transformation.

Our teachers Mark, Naz and Guilly were a perfect team that touches every aspect of our individualities thru their own crafts—they were a safe space, a home, the best teachers and mentors."

Martin Luz Cruz

"I signed up for this course with the intention to Learn, Level up and get Certified. I got all of that in my four day / 30 hour intensive training.

Even as a person not of a yoga background, I was still able to appreciate the course. I felt like I leveled up a life skill. I loved the hands-on, immersive and somatic experience of the breathwork and cold immersion.

Value packed, really felt the value being delivered, over-delivering. I highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to become a Teacher in training."

Marj Ostani

"I took a leap of faith and joined Sagara Masterclass with less than two weeks before its forthcoming training/retreat. What I've gained coming out was more and beyond, where I found new budding friendships, re-connection with myself, and getting to know the Source.

This 4-day immersion practicing pranayama, cold immersion, and mindfulness truly changed me in many ways possible. Being able to express them with this community was the most heart-expanding experience.

I left Sagara transformed and whole. Nothing is going to be the same moving forward. Thank you for finding me, Sagara."

Rochelle Velasco

"This training not only gave me the knowledge to confidently lead, but it also brought back my confidence. It positively impacted my routine and mood—I've noticed a boost in my energy and mindset.

I love the framework that Sagara created for cold immersion. I couldn't believe that during my second ice bath experience, I was able to stay in for a full 10 minutes. This just shows how powerful and transformative the training has been.

This training has truly transformed my routine, my mood, and my outlook on life, and I can't wait to share what I've learned with others!"
