  I cannot recommend this breathwork and ice bath workshop enough. Miles and Shani created an experience that felt intentional, grounded, and incredibly empowering from start to finish. Miles guided the breathwork with such calm confidence and clarity. The way he layered the breathing patterns made it accessible yet powerful. I felt both safe and deeply challenged. Its clear he understands the physiology behind it, but also the emotional side. It wasn’t just breathing, it was a full nervous system reset. Shani brought the most supportive, steady energy to the ice bath portion. Her coaching right before and during immersion made all the difference. Instead of feeling like a “just push through it” moment, it felt mindful, controlled, and honestly transformative. I walked away feeling strong, clear-headed, and euphoric. What really stood out was how intentional they both were about safety, education, and integration. This wasn’t trendy or performative… it was grounded, thoughtful, and impactful. If you’re even slightly curious about breathwork or cold exposure, this is your sign. Try it! You’ll leave feeling powerful in a way that lingers long after the event.

  I've meditated for years, and it normally takes me 10+ minutes to settle - and the peace often fades once the day begins. Miles’ breathwork changed that instantly. His simplest technique takes under 10 minutes and brings me straight into deep calm, clarity, and focus that lasts for a few hours after (and can be topped up with another short session). The effect carries into daily life, even under pressure. I’ve used Wim Hoff's techniques before (Miles is a certified instructor), and found Mile's unique approach to be even clearer, easier to follow, and guaranteed to give the same fantastic, immediate results - whether you’re experienced or brand new to breathwork. I first experienced his teaching at a BJJ seminar and instantly felt the impact on composure and performance. If you want a simple practice that delivers real, lasting calm and focus, I highly recommend Miles. Honestly, he is about as good a guy as you are ever likely to meet. He exudes positive energy and practices what he preaches - it is a lifestyle for him - so you won't find a better teacher. Life transforming.

  “From Gasping on the Mat to Breathing Like a Boss-Level Yeti” Look, I’ve rolled with some tough cookies on the Jiu Jitsu mats—guys who tap faster than a caffeinated squirrel—but Miles Lukas? This dude’s not just a black belt wizard; he’s the lovechild of Wim Hof and a human snow cone machine. I just wrapped up OGS (that’s “Old Grapplers Summit” for the uninitiated, or as I call it, “Oh God, Save Me from My Own Lungs”), and holy hyperventilation, it’s like he hacked my respiratory system with a cheat code. Facts first, because even in comedy, Miles is all about that evidence-based enlightenment: Certified Level 2 Wim Hof instructor who’s summited snowy peaks with the Iceman himself (no frostbite, just pure zen). Founder of Breath Fitness in sunny San Diego—where the biggest chill is from his cold plunges, not the weather. And get this: He’s a BJJ black belt who turns breath work into a secret weapon against comp anxiety, so you go from “I’m gonna puke on my opponent’s gi” to “Watch me chokehold this doubt like it’s a white belt armbar.” But here’s where it gets funny (and life-changing): Pre-Miles, my breath game was weaker than a vegan at a steakhouse—shallow pants during rolls, turning purple faster than a bad tattoo decision. Post-OGS? I’m breathing like a dragon who’s just discovered yoga. I tried his techniques mid-spar: Inhale deep enough to inflate a hot air balloon, exhale like you’re evicting a bad tenant from your soul. Next thing you know, I’m reversing a mount while humming “Let It Go” from Frozen—because why not? Miles has you squeezing breaths to your head like you’re prepping for a brain freeze party, and suddenly, cold showers feel like a spa day with penguins. His sessions? Pure gold-plated hilarity wrapped in transformation. We’re power-breathing in circles, looking like a cult of asthmatic superheroes, and Miles is there with his chill vibe, dropping gems like, “Breathe through the discomfort—it’s just your excuses trying to escape.” By the end, I wasn’t just surviving Jiu Jitsu; I was thriving, plotting world domination via Wim Hof walks on the beach (sand optional, enlightenment mandatory). If you’re a grappler gasping for air or just a human who forgets to breathe between Netflix binges, sign up for Breath Fitness yesterday. Miles didn’t just teach me techniques—he turned me into a walking, rolling, ice-bathing legend. 10/10, would hyperoxygenate again. Namaste in bed? Nah, namaste on the mat—with Miles, it’s namaste everywhere. (Pro tip: Bring tissues. Not for tears—for when your ego taps out from laughter and lung fireworks.)

  Recently had the pleasure of meeting Miles during a retreat where Miles led us through breath work sessions, cold plunge, and cold recovery. Miles proved to be an expert in his field and left everyone feeling better than they did before class. He has an amazing demeanor that is very positive and highly energetic. Just being in his presence leaves you feeling happy. I would highly recommend Miles for personal coaching, small group retreats, and large conferences.

  I really write reviews, but I wanted to share this. Getting a breath work coaching session from Miles was an amazing experience. he not only guided us through the movements and explain to us what was happening. It was so cool to feel what he was explaining. And what I really liked about it was that this is applicable to the hard things that we do in life whether it’s Bjj, surfing, an ice bath. We did the ice bath the following day and it was no problem because I just was able to breathe through it and I learned how to control what was happening. super fun and I’ll definitely do it again.
