Having recently travelled to Bali to attend an 8-day breathwork retreat, Evelyn saw immense value in sharing their craft. Facilitated breath repatterning brings an awareness to breath that can be profound in breaking patterns or responses to stimulus that do not serve us.
Regardless of YHMI being a property and finance podcast, Evelyn has always been an advocate for mental health and personal development, and that’s exactly what she found breathwork to provide her.

In this episode of You Have My Interest, host Evelyn Clark, Director and Finance Broker at Everlend, ventures into the world of breathwork with Dan and Sara, co-founders of Yes And. Evelyn reflects on her transformative experience at an eight-day breathwork retreat in Bali, hosted by Dan and Sara, and explores how this practice can impact mental health, wellbeing, and self-awareness.
Key Points:
About Yes And and Its Offerings:

The Bali Breathwork Retreat Experience:

- Participants delved into self-discovery and integration through conscious connected circular breathing.
What Is Breathwork?
- Conscious Connected Circular Breathing: A technique involving continuous, active inhalations and passive exhalations without pauses.
- It helps uncover unconscious patterns stored in the mind and body, fostering awareness and healing.
- Integration of Mind, Body, and Breath: Breathwork is a tool for observing and rewiring unhelpful patterns shaped by past experiences.
Benefits and Insights from Breathwork:
- Self-Awareness and Healing: Enables participants to revisit and process emotional patterns and memories.
- Relaxation and Activation: Teaches relaxation around discomfort and helps balance activation and stillness in daily life.
- Empowerment: Encourages taking control of responses to life’s challenges.
- Unique Outcomes: Every session is different, revealing new layers of the psyche and body.
Dan and Sara’s Personal Journeys:
- Dan: Transitioned from physiotherapy to breathwork after experiencing its power in facilitating clarity and healing without external substances.
- Sara: Draws on her expertise in NLP and coaching to help individuals access their innate potential and balance mind, body, and breath.
Comparison to Meditation:
- Breathwork offers a more dynamic entry into self-awareness than traditional meditation, which requires stillness. It complements meditation by unlocking deeper layers of the nervous system and unconscious mind.

- Yes And supports teams through workshops, retreats, and leadership programs, focusing on:
- Enhancing productivity, resilience, and well-being.
- Fostering group cohesion through collective breathing practices.
