Melissa has attended three of Sasha Yakovleva’s Buteyko retreats in Colorado, but this time was different—she brought her daughter, Bree, to experience Joyful Journey to Optimal Breathing, a Buteyko Wellness Retreat held at a serene hot springs resort.
What unfolded was a deeply healing and meaningful experience for both of them.
For Melissa, the retreat opened new layers of relaxation and body awareness, reinforcing the power of having dedicated space for a true nervous system reset. Bree, who had only practiced Buteyko lightly with her mom before, was able to go much deeper—learning practical breathing tools she can now use in her everyday life, even at work.
Breathwork sessions in the hot springs, role-play exercises, and shared group practices created moments that felt sacred, supportive, and unexpectedly transformative. Melissa also shared her own gifts with the group, teaching yoga and meditation, which added another beautiful layer of connection to the retreat experience.
For both mother and daughter, this retreat became a space of healing, laughter, closeness, and sustainable breathing habits they can continue practicing together at home. It’s a shared experience they will carry with them for a long time.
