Breathless Expeditions Reviews 

I recently attended the Breathless Expedition with my partner at the end of May near Jindabyne, and it completely exceeded my expectations. It is incredibly difficult to put the experience into words.

From the breathwork and cold plunges to the mountain hike, every part of the weekend challenged me. It wasn't easy, but that's exactly the point—it pushes you beyond your comfort zone, especially mentally.

Johannes is my favourite breathwork facilitator. I could listen to him for hours. His energy, warmth, wisdom and genuine care for everyone are truly something special.

One of the highlights was meeting such an incredible group of people. As they say, the expedition helps you "peel back the layers of the onion," and that couldn't be more true. It was a powerful experience of growth, connection and self-discovery.

The food was fantastic, the entire Breathless team was amazing, and the whole weekend was exceptionally well organised.

I genuinely give this experience 10/10 and would recommend it to anyone looking to challenge themselves, reconnect and experience something truly life-changing.

Johannes, thank you for everything you do. You are one of a kind, and I can't wait to come back!

This was a truly life changing experience. I couldn’t recommend this course and experience enough to anyone interested in learning more about Breathwork. In a wider sense it has had a significant impact on my life since.
In a practical sense, the depth of learning and information, and hands on practical work we covered in 4 days, we did leave different people.
The location was incredible, Johannes is an incredible person and all the team there supporting made it a weekend I’ll never forget.

An incredible experience from start to finish. Johannes has a rare gift for creating an environment that is both challenging and deeply supportive. Breathless Expeditions combines adventure, connection, self-discovery and plenty of fun in a way that feels authentic and transformative.
I left feeling stronger, calmer and more connected to myself and those around me. Highly recommended.

A truly unique experience where both body and mind are challenged in meaningful ways. Johannes is a star—extremely knowledgeable, intuitive, and deeply attuned to energy and the people around him.

This retreat was such a powerful and memorable experience. The combination of breathwork, cold water exposure, hiking, nervous system education, and genuine connection was both challenging and deeply rewarding.

Johannes and his team of supporters/facilitators created a really safe and supportive space, while also encouraging us to push past our comfort zone. The setting in the Snowy Mountains was absolutely incredible, and the food was amazing (Steph the chef gets 5 stars for herself). It really added to the whole experience.

I left feeling proud of myself, more connected, and with practical tools I can use in daily life.

A genuinely transformative weekend. I’d highly recommend it.

I attended one of Johannes’ snow expeditions, and it was truly life-changing.

I have struggled my whole life with balancing masculine and feminine energy due to significant childhood trauma. Through the breathwork experience, I was finally able to safely confront and release so much of that pain in a loving, supportive environment. It was deeply cathartic, emotional, and spiritual for me.

The weekend completely reset my nervous system. As a busy mum of six, I constantly feel like I’m “on” — with endless thoughts, responsibilities, and to-do lists running through my mind. Since returning home, I’ve noticed such a profound sense of peace and ease in my everyday life. I’m now able to move through my days with more compassion, calmness, and understanding toward myself and my nervous system.

The experience also made me incredibly aware of the things that trigger anxiety for me, and I now feel equipped with the tools to breathe through those moments and regulate myself. Before the weekend, I was an avid mouth breather, but now I can genuinely feel and notice the difference that nasal breathing has made to my overall regulation and wellbeing.

The breath is such a powerful tool. My wish is that everyone gets to experience the level of peace, healing, and connection that breathwork can bring — not only for themselves, but for everyone around them as well.

Working with you has been an incredible experience. Your passion, authenticity, and genuine care for people shine through in everything you do. The retreat was transformative, and the space you created felt safe, inspiring, and empowering. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and heart so generously.

My Mountain Immersion experience was amazing, profound, heart opening, confronting, powerful, healing, comfortable, full, beautiful and unforgettable.
The setting was one to behold. Far from the crazy of our day to day lives.
Educational delivery through theory and practical application was relaxed and informal, yet of the highest quality and standard.
The support and encouragement from the Brethless instructional team was ever present and second to none. Their extensive experience and knowledge were always shared freely.
We were not only nourished by our breath. The food, meals and snacks alike, were nutritious, tasty, and beautifully presented and plentiful.
The hardest part of the experience was without a doubt, leaving.
I was able to walk away with the confidence and understanding needed to facilitate the art of breathwork.
To Johannes and the Breathless Team,
Thank you.

Memories for life.. truly an EXPERIENCE. From the first breath work to the last supper it was on point the whole way through. The venue, facilitators, Johannes & the other coaches in training were all amazing & made the whole in person immersive warm & inviting. Never for one moment did I feel out of place. BREATHLESS is an understatement.

I honestly don’t even know how to put this experience into words properly.
I came for breathwork facilitation training…
and left feeling like a different human.
Not just because of the tools and knowledge (which were honestly incredible and so hands on) but because of the people, the environment, the challenges, the conversations, the feeling of being so deeply supported the entire time.
The safety held by Johannes, the facilitators and every single person in that space was something really special.
There was never a moment where you felt alone in it.
And wow… this retreat really asks you to jump before you feel ready.
That -4 degree lake?
I genuinely don’t think I’ll ever forget it 😂
Standing there questioning every life choice before jumping in — then coming out the other side realising “holy shit… I can actually do hard things even when I don’t feel ready.”
That moment alone was worth the trip.
Then pair that with snowy mountains, cosy chalets, fireplaces, late night chats with beautiful humans who somehow become family within days… it honestly felt like magic.
And Steph…
THE FOOD 😍
You could genuinely feel the love in every single meal.
What I loved most though was how empowering the training was.
This wasn’t sitting there taking notes all weekend wondering if one day you might be ready.
You practise.
You facilitate.
You learn in real time.
You’re supported every step of the way.
I left feeling genuinely confident to go out and hold my own breathwork workshops within my community straight away.
If you’ve been thinking about doing this…
this is your sign.
One of the most beautiful, challenging, expansive experiences I’ve ever had.

Originally my husband and I were aiming just to do the online learnings, but there was other plans for us, and we've just completed the immersive weekend.
WOW!!!! Every little detail was thought of, the days were long, the comfort was high, the facilitators and the community we created together was so warm, loving and nurturing.
There was a reason I was following Breathless for so long before leaping, it was everything I needed and didn't know I needed.
Johannes radiates love, understanding and walks the road with you, when you're scared, feeling vulnerable or when your in complete euphoria from what the program has brought out for you.

I highly recommend the immersive program, so much thought has gone into every step and progression.

It will change your life!

Thank you Johannes and team
So grateful xxx

This Breathwork Experience was truly something special. It created a safe and nurturing space where I could gently open up, release, and reconnect with myself on a deeper level.

There was so much care, presence, and intention in every detail — I felt supported throughout the entire journey.

The Breathwork came into my life at exactly the right moment.

Today I found myself going through subtle but powerful inner shifts — simply observing my reactions and preferences, without trying to control them. And it feels like something has changed inside.

After this weekend, it’s become so much harder to lie to myself. There’s a new level of honesty and awareness that I can’t unsee anymore.

The space that was created felt incredibly safe, gentle, and real. It allowed me to open, release, and reconnect with parts of myself I didn’t even realize needed attention.

I’m feeling more present, more truthful with myself, and quietly transformed from within.

Deep gratitude for this journey ✨

Where do I start?!

Having done zero research on Johannes or the company, I felt very underprepared going into the weekend immersion for the level 1 Instructors course, but I definitely felt more than ready to bring this life changing modality into my professional practice and into my life by the end. In reality, nothing could have prepared me for the life changing experiences I had.

The support from Johannes and his incredible team was so grounded and genuine that it made it easy to fully immerse myself in the learning as well as my own journey. This was reflected in how cohesive our group became almost instantly. Everyone just came together to support and cheer each other on. No complaints, no competition. It’s something I’ve never experienced in group training before and it was so powerful.

From the day we arrived our minds and bodies were so well cared for with the beautiful location and delicious, nourishing food. There was zero chance of going hungry or thirsty and the accommodation and training environments were in such serene settings in nature.

Johannes’ wealth and breadth of knowledge and experience was very evident in the content delivered (including the online learning) and the balance of theory and practical sessions was perfect. What enhanced this experience even more for me was that Johannes showed up for us as his authentic self. He shared moments of vulnerability with us through his story which allowed me to feel incredibly safe in this space and also be more vulnerable. I wasn’t expecting this from him or myself.

On leaving, I genuinely felt fully prepared to deliver Breathwork sessions and have already started just 1 week out from the training. I can also notice how I am so much more grounded and calm in very stressful and emotional situations where in the past I would have become overwhelmed to the point of shut down.

The ongoing support after training from this beautiful community really brings the whole experience together.

If you are in any doubt at all about doing this training, it is absolutely worth it. Do it, you won’t regret it.

So grateful that I took the plunge to book in for this course. There was some fear that I was not enough to step into this space, but what I got was way beyond my expectations. Not only was the content delivered extensive, generous, backed by science and delivered with passion, the four days in the mountains was life changing. Johannes and the Breathless facilitators provided a safe space where I could truely meet myself and grow in ways that I did not expect. Thank you! Forever grateful.

From the moment I signed up for the Breathless Instructor Training, the entire experience was seamless, welcoming and incredibly professional. Every detail had clearly been thought through with care and intention, making it easy to feel supported and excited from the very beginning.

Johannes’ years of experience were evident throughout the entire course. The knowledge, confidence and calm presence he brought created such a safe and empowering learning environment. The space he has created in the mountains was absolutely perfect for the weekend — peaceful, grounding and the ideal setting to fully immerse yourself in the experience.

The course itself exceeded all expectations. We explored a wide range of breathing techniques, had plenty of hands-on practice, ongoing support and endless opportunities to ask questions. Everyone was encouraged to be themselves, which created such a genuine and connected atmosphere. The nourishing food was beautiful and added to the overall feeling of being cared for and supported throughout the weekend.

This was by far the best course I have ever done. Not only has it had a profound impact on me personally, but I also left feeling confident, capable and inspired to share this knowledge with others. The support after the course has continued as well, which really shows the integrity and passion behind what Johannes has created. I cannot recommend this training highly enough.

I went into the Breathless Expedition Training with little expectations, and it honestly exceeded everything I could have imagined.
From the moment I arrived, the team was incredibly welcoming and well-organised — from transport to the overall flow of the experience. I felt supported, heard, and held in a really powerful space from day one.
The training itself was next level. Johannes truly knows his craft, and it was a privilege to witness and learn from him in action. The balance between theory and practice made the whole experience very real and applicable.
Being surrounded by like-minded people, all open to growth and learning, added so much value. The support from both the team and participants made it easy to ask questions, connect, and fully immerse in the process.
I left feeling energised, inspired, and ready to bring these tools into the world and into my own work.
Highly recommend it to anyone looking to deepen their practice and expand their impact.

Where do I start! First of all what a beautiful weekend! I loved every second of it up in Crackenback, NSW. The people I met were so amazing and the learning were incredible! I had the opportunity to learn from an incredible team but also Johannes- who led with such an incredible presence and guided us through our own healing journeys. He was so informative and about breath and teaching us with so much passion! Through out this journey, I met parts of myself and shed layers of me that don’t serve me any more. I have gained so much trust and strength but also a new perspective of things and a gentle compassion for myself. This weekend was unlike no other and I will have this experience for the rest of my life. Breath is the key to so much power, reflection and relaxation and I’m so excited to share the gift of the breath with everyone.

I can not speak highly enough of the entire Breathless team. From the administration staff to the amazing facilitators that I had the pleasure of becoming great friends with in the Mountains. I've not only come away with the tools & knowledge to improve my life & that of others I intend to teach, I've experienced something truly life changing. That term gets thrown around alot but this is the real deal.
An absolutely stunning setting, & Johannes & his team genuinely have your best interests at heart. I consider every person who attended the retreat be it Facilitator or attendee a great friend for life. Priceless ,Absolutely Brilliant!!! Highly recommended...

The course in general is excellent and the online element is well structured and with the recent updates to the learning platform, it’s even better than when I started!
The part that I would really want to share is the amazing face to face experience - if you are um’ing and ah’ing about its value…… don’t! It brings everything to life, it introduces you to a close cohort of people in your shoes and a close cohort of instructors and practitioners to help you through the start of your journey and beyond!
This is not an algorithm trap! It’s real, Johannes is the real deal and his approach to Breathwork is expansive and inclusive, infact the whole Breathless team live and breathe what they share!
I managed to find my people, you can as well. Can’t wait to meet you!

Wow, I've just emerged from a deeply healing, body heart & soul nourishing experience in the Breathless - Mountain Immersion Retreat / Instructor Training . I'm feeling truly blessed to have been held & guided by Johannes & his team, who delivered the training with authentic presence, expert knowledge, humour, curiosity, excitement, surprise & heart felt care in a deeply sacred healing space. I journeyed with new lifetime friends & experienced so much healing & learning. Thank you Johannes & team
