ABOUT ELEVARE:
Our Kaupapa:
Elevare was birthed by Shannon Rose, a practitioner, guide, and weaver of wairua-led spaces. After years of facilitating breathwork across Aotearoa, she witnessed firsthand the profound transformation breath could bring â not just for individuals, but for entire whÄnau, hapori, and systems.
From fertility journeys to cycles of addiction, from emotional wounding to soul reconnection, breathwork became a portal for deep remembering, reclamation, and renewal.
Over time, Shannon was repeatedly asked to share this taonga in a deeper way â not just as sessions, but as a training. After years of refinement, expansion, and walking alongside her own wairua-led path of growth, her tÅ«puna whispered: "It is time."
Elevare exists to train facilitators to hold breathwork in a way that is anchored in integrity, cultural reverence, safety, and soul. We are not here to mass-produce practitioners. We are here to walk with depth, presence, and care â honouring the ripple effect that begins when one person breathes fully, and then brings that breath to their people.
This is a kaupapa rooted in Aotearoa, but with a global vision â to elevate the collective through reconnection to spirit, body, and breath.
Â
âWe are here to generate a ripple effect of breath, one facilitator, one whÄnau, one community at a time.â
 Â
Â
The Name âElevareâ
Elevare comes from the Latin word meaning to elevate, uplift, or raise. It stems from e (âoutâ) and levare (âto lift, to make lightâ).
Through the rhythm of the breath, we rise â not to escape life, but to return to it with presence, clarity, and aliveness.
Our purpose is to ripple breathwork across the motu â
to see whÄnau, hapÅ«, and hapori throughout Aotearoa reconnect to the breath as a portal to wellbeing, embodiment, and sovereignty.
This is a kaupapa guided by indigenous values, and devoted to the transformation of our communities â from the inside out.
We work within the model of Te Whare Tapa WhÄ, Maori Health, that to achieve holistic health, all four cornerstones need to be honoured, body (tinana), mind & heart (hinengaro), soul (wairua) and family / community (whanau).
Through working with this we acknowledge that healing is not an isolated experience, it must includes all facets that make up our holistic health.Â
To make light again, the human experience.Â
To build resilience, in life's challenges.Â
And to create connection, to the wider whanau network.Â
  Â
Shannon has had the privilege of being part of the early wave of Breathwork in Aotearoa since 2017. It is an honour to offer this kaupapa, to share the skill and experience with other willing facilitators who wish to continue this ripple effect of breath.Â

The Story of Elevare
Elevare was born through lived experience. After years in the world of communications, marketing, and entrepreneurship â and a lifetime of intuitive connection to wairua â I was guided to step fully into the work of healing and facilitation.
Since 2017, Iâve held space for countless wÄhine and whÄnau across Aotearoa, witnessing the incredible capacity of the breath to bring people home to themselves. I've seen transformations in fertility, trauma, addiction, grief, leadership, and identity â all through the simple yet profound return to hÄ â the breath of life.
In 2022, I received the karanga to take students. This wasn't just a professional milestone â it was a spiritual confirmation from my tÅ«puna that it was time to pass on the wÄnanga of the breath in right relationship.
