Private 1:1 Retreat — A Fully Tailored Transformational Experience
Breath Works.
Ice Bath Works.
Connection Heals.
This is not a program you fit into.
This is a space built entirely around you.
Alex is a natural teacher oozing authenticity, you can truly feel his passion for this modality. What I love most is that he’s not trying to be a “guru” like so many others selling courses. His wisdom comes from lived experience, science, and genuine embodiment.
All of his teachings are invitations, not instructions. He encourages you to explore and discover what works best for you and your own nervous system. The conversations he’s shared with authors are so rich and insightful, especially the one with Peter Levine on healing trauma and spiritual growth, which deeply resonated with me as someone passionate about trauma work.
Even though I’ve studied Breathwork for a couple years now, I’m still taking away new insights each week. Whether you’re just starting your Breathwork journey or have been on it for years, this 11-week course will meet you exactly where you are.
You won’t be disappointed. ✌🏼
His use of breathwork and ice baths goes way beyond physical benefits — it’s about emotional release, trauma healing, and deep reconnection with the Self. And that’s exactly what I experienced in the environment he created for us, in which I felt safer than anywhere I had ever been to just be ME.
Through this training, I remembered who I am. It helped me to see myself clearly again, uncover what is blocking my growth, and begin to let it go. It felt like years of therapy in three powerful weeks. I came home stronger and with something to fight for: my Self.
These 21 days of breathwork training have been nothing short of transformative for me. I’ve had the privilege of exploring various healing modalities before, but this experience was truly unlike any other. Through your guidance, I didn’t just learn to breathe — I remembered how to connect with myself in a way I never had before.
I reconnected with my body, my emotions, my thoughts — even the parts of me I once ignored or overlooked. This journey brought me home to myself. It deepened my connection not only to my purpose, but also to my desires, my truth, and to what I genuinely feel about life and about me.
Breath — something we take for granted every moment — took on an entirely new meaning. It became my anchor, my teacher, my bridge to awareness. I realized I had been breathing all my life, but never really known how to breathe. And the day I understood the power of my breath… I began to understand the value of my life.
Since this training, I feel calmer, sharper, and more present. My mind and heart are no longer in conflict — they are now working in harmony. I’ve learned how to balance feeling deeply and thinking clearly. I’ve begun to act with awareness, and I can feel how beautifully that’s shaping my life.
My reactions have softened. I’ve become more loving, more compassionate — especially towards myself. And that, I believe, is one of the greatest gifts any training can offer.
Alex my mentor , a person who doesn’t just teach — he embodies. He holds space with a rare kind of presence that feels safe, honest, and deeply human. He leads without ego, guides without judgment, and listens without filters. With Alex, I didn’t feel the pressure to be more — I felt the permission to be fully myself , just being me .. His authenticity, neutrality, and grounded energy make him not just a coach but a channel through which transformation gently unfolds..a person who’s always there to help you to grow and evolve.
Thank you for holding such a powerful, sacred space. Thank you for your wisdom, your presence, and the depth you bring to your work. This experience will always stay with me…
With deep respect and gratitude,
Love and a big hug

One word - wow. It’s difficult to articulate what happened during our session but I was able to access parts of myself that I’ve never been able to before, not through any therapy or other techniques.
From the start Alex created such an open and relaxed atmosphere, nothing felt forced, he explained how the session would work without pushing any expectation on what I should or should not be feeling.
I was surprised at how quickly I was able to immerse myself in the session, be fully present and let go of a lot of anger, sadness and frustration all through the power of breath. Having done ice baths before it was actually great to learn a technique that was so much more impactful and was a great way to finish the session.
The experience has definitely ignited me to start being serious about incorporating breathwork in to my routine. If I can achieve as much as I did in 3 hours I’ll definitely be looking to do the 3 week course as soon as I can.
If you are looking for a safe and loving space to challenge yourself, learn tools for new daily habits and have a whole lot of fun doing so, Breathingcold is your place 🙂
Thank you, Alex🙏🏼. I’m looking forward to the unwritten chapters of my breath-work, self-discovery and self-love journey.
For a few days, everything slows down.
There is no group to adapt to.
No pace to follow.
No role to perform.
Only a carefully held container where your nervous system can soften, your body can speak, and what’s been held inside finally has space to move.
So what are you breathing for?
What makes this experience different
This retreat is guided moment by moment, based on your needs, your history, your capacity, and your intention.
Nothing is forced. Nothing is rushed.
Together, we work with:
-
Conscious Breathwork
- Appreciating your wounded parts and integrating them
- Rewiring your brain and getting a new mindset.
-
Somatic and nervous system regulation
-
Emotional release and integration
-
Presence, and deep caring listening
-
Remembering the joy of being fully alive
WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE
THE BREATH
Guided Breathwork journeys to unlock emotion and clarity.
A genuine healing experience.
You’ll learn a variety of breathing techniques to shift your state, regulate your nervous system, and change your relationship with stress.
THE ICE
I use Ice Bath in an original and trauma-aware way—not to push, but to gently invite what’s been held inside to come to the surface. When held in safety and presence, the cold becomes a portal for releasing repressed emotions, stored trauma, and somatic tension that the body has carried for too long.
HEARTFELT CONNECTION
Transformation doesn’t end when the breath settles or the ice melts — it begins to root when we bring our inner shifts into honest, human connection. Authentic Relating invite you to slow down, reflect, and be truly seen.
We heal not only alone, but together.
EMBODIED MOVEMENT & SOMATIC PRACTICES
Anchor the transformation in your body - Growth isn’t just a mental process — it must be lived and felt through the body. That’s why we weave embodied movement and somatic practices throughout the retreat: to help you integrate change at the cellular level, not just as a concept. Through intentional movement, shaking, sound, intuitive dance, and guided somatic awareness, you’ll learn how to process emotions, regulate your nervous system, and come home to yourself.
THIS IS A PRIVATE RETREAT. A RESET. A RETURN
Back to your body.
Back to presence.
Back to your truth.

LIFE CHANGING !
What three months of classical in-clinic therapy couldn’t do, Alex did within just FIVE DAYS: The first day I arrived (back) in my body; the second day, thanks to a phenomenal Breathwork exercise, I went on an imaginary walk to see the sights of this newly discovered self.
By the help of Alex I rediscovered an emotional sense of curiosity and joy within myself, a lust for life, that was long gone. I came to understand what breathing ACTUALLY means and that I am only human after all…
All of that created a great relief, a deep sense of “enoughness” and an opportunity to surrender and let go for good.
No matter where in your personal journey you are and what you are dealing with, Alex will create an open space and a canvas for you to be filled with answers stemming directly from your heart.
At some point in my journey I will come back to this magical place that gave me so much. Thank you.

AMAZING!
Alex's program works. The program compels you to look deep inside yourself and confront whatever fears, challenges, self-limiters you subconsciously have in place. The realisation of just how powerful the mind is is amazing. I'm a much better person for having participated in it.

A DIFFERENT LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING
I have done lots of therapy in my life and am so thankful for this experience. It was different compared to what I usually do. That felt uncomfortable, but in a safe place and with Alex as such an amazing and knowledgeable facilitator, that is really where magic happens. This morning, the day after, I can feel that there has shifted something inside myself. Time to keep on going with that flow and create new habits. Today is going to be the best day of my life, tomorrow too!

Absolutely incredible experience! Alex is an exceptional breathwork facilitator. His sessions are deep, safe, and truly transformative. From the very first moment, I felt welcomed, seen, and fully supported. His calm presence, knowledge, and the way he holds space make BreathingColdBali a truly special place. I leave every session with more clarity, lightness, and connection to myself. Thank you for these powerful experiences — I will definitely be back!

SIGN UP!
Wow, I am beyond happy to have participated in this retreat. Alex held such a safe space for me to be vulnerable and also was vulnerable himself. He gave me the tools to find my own answers and reminded me to follow my own heart. I can’t recommend working with Alex enough. He is a humble master of breath and the empathy he feels for his students is as apparent as ice is cold. Sign up!
