Kevin Connelly
Kevin is a breathwork facilitator, author, and former anti-human trafficking advocate who’s spent the last 17 years leading transformational experiences around the world.
ā
Before stepping into the world of nervous system science and holistic healing, Kevin worked as a documentary photographer and travel guide, leading over 50 trips across 15 countries and four continents. But after years of helping others stay safe, he found himself unraveling—trapped in cycles of depression, anxiety, and addiction. His recovery didn’t come through mindset hacks or talk therapy, it came through breathwork and cold exposure.
ā
He’s guided more than 6,000 people through breathwork and ice bath sessions and trained over 100 instructors globally. He’s known for blending ancient wisdom with cutting-edge science, using tools like HRV monitors and EEG scanners to measure the true impact of breath on the body and brain.
ā
Kevin is a speaker, wilderness first responder, and author of Breathe Into It. He has studied with Tibetan spiritual leaders—including the 8th Chokyong Palga Rinpoche—and worked alongside renowned breath expert James Nestor. His mission is simple: help people return to their bodies, their breath, and their power.

In February 2021, Sarah had her first ice bath experience and never looked back.
She fell in love with the practice and the community that surrounds it and was honored to join the Reconnect team in November 2022.

Sarah loves encouraging people while in and out of the ice, helping people to get over their fears and to realize their own strength.
