“Dara Coleman’s breathwork workshop for our Parkinson’s group was truly outstanding. His voice is mesmerizing, and his instructions were simple, clear, and easy to follow. Many of us still carry Dara’s voice with us throughout the day — his gentle prompts help us remember and apply the powerful techniques he shared.

What moved me most was witnessing people — especially those more physically compromised — find deep stillness through the breath. It was emotional, unforgettable, and profoundly healing. Many participants are still using his techniques to this day.

Thank you, Dara, for such a meaningful and lasting gift.”

— Susan Lust, Director, Parkinson’s Wellness Project

The countless conversations I had with Dara at Esalen about the breath split open my view of the world. His unmatched expertise in the burgeoning field of breathwork shines in his practice, study, and teaching of the breath. He fosters a sense of agency for one's healing, releasing pressures and expectations by simply offering a bounty of knowledge about how to breathe better and, in effect, live better. Anyone, no matter their age, sex, gender, or physical capacity, who earnestly takes on Dara as a teacher will, without exception, come away a different person than before. The methods he teaches are approachable, practical, and can be easily integrated into everyday life. Whether you are looking to hone your disciplines for health and wellbeing, to expand your tools and skills in breathwork, or simply to improve the quality of your lived experience, Dara is the best person you can look to for guidance and renewal.

“During COVID, I learned from Dara several breathing techniques with meditation. He was wonderfully accommodating. I continue to use the various methods due to my condition where I suffer from serious bouts of anxiety, and I find myself resorting to what Dara has taught me which is remarkably effective.”

“Breath training with Dara has changed numerous aspects of my life. It’s even helped with my golf game, as my ADHD has me overthinking everything, I do the breath work as I play and that focus has allowed me to improve my game. I HIGHLY recommend Breath Training with Dara to anybody who can get overwhelmed, anxious, or just want to get a better night’s sleep!”
