History
Breathflow Connection was founded by Diego Pauel, a freediving instructor who has lived in Koh Samui, Thailand, for 15 years. Pauel came to breathwork through freediving, which he has trained in for over a decade. He describes learning that the body knows things the mind keeps arguing with, and that this training now shapes everything he does in UNTAMED, a full-day experience combining breathwork, ice bath, and a jungle waterfall hike. The brand states that Pauel was the first person to bring breathwork to Koh Samui. During the COVID-19 pandemic, when tourism stopped and the island emptied, Pauel began offering breathwork and ice baths for free to help the local community. What started as a way to help the local community turned into something bigger: people kept coming back, brought friends, and eventually tourists returning to the island found their way to the sessions. Over the last five years, Pauel has facilitated sessions for more than 5,000 people from all over the world. The brand holds a 5.0 Google rating from 155 reviews and has been featured on Viator, TripAdvisor, and Marriott Activities. It offers a range of programs including The Practice, UNTAMED, private workshops, corporate workshops, and a 21-day facilitator certification course.
