CONSCIOUS BREATHWORK TECHNIQUES FOR STRESS & ANXIETY | Dan Brulé - E115

WELLPOWER: Breath, Cold & Biohacking

Kristin sits down with the legendary Dan Brulé — pioneer of breathwork in the Western world, author, and global teacher to over 300,000 students. From near-death experiences and military deep-sea diving to teaching breathwork to elite performers and first responders, Dan shares his extraordinary journey through the transformative power of the breath. Together with Kristin, Dan dives into raw, honest conversations about awakening through crisis, the resistance to breathwork in modern culture, and the spiritual, emotional, and physiological depths we can access through conscious breathing. He also opens up with rare vulnerability about his personal evolution, controversies, and the path to healing and integrity. This is not just an episode—it’s a transmission of life force. Whether you're new to breathwork or a seasoned practitioner, this episode will stir your soul, expand your mind, and bring you back to the power of your own inhale.
