We Are Boundless - Reis Paluso - Certified Wim Hof Instructor

On Saturday, I was driving down La Costa near the lagoon to go for a birthday surf with some friends and a huge red-tailed hawk flew windshield level of my van and landed in a tree on the side of the road.

It took my breath away which immediately followed by a deep sense of love and gratitude where the tears began to flow. It felt like it came out of nowhere but it had been building and I never realized it.

I hadn’t thought much about being 40 but all of a sudden it took over. It is a big milestone, not to be denied.

Here I am, driving to go surf with some of my best friends, on a spectacular October day, and this majestic bird that I often see hanging out on a light post nearby pays me a visit.

It was a surreal moment.

I realized I have a life that many people dream of. I have built exactly what I wanted, even though I hadn’t planned any of it. It blows me away.

The entire day I felt like I was floating - from exchanging waves and smiles with my friends, to a late brunch with my girls, to a wonderful gathering with some of my favorite people, and this EPIC sunset to cap it off.

Thank you to everyone who showered me in love all day long. I am so thankful and lucky that you all are in my life. Each of you have played a role in pushing me towards this life and the man I am today.

💙🙌

At first I thought it was reinvention. Now I see it as transformation and evolution.

Two months ago, I stepped away from the agency I helped build over the last 6 years. It was something I didn’t know I could do until it happened.

When we shift gears in life, the next step is often described a time to reinvent. But that hasn’t resonated. Instead, it has made me feel stuck and quite frankly, very overwhelmed. It has caused me to freeze on certain things that I thought I’d do which has made me more bummed. It’s a loop and I am tired of it.

I’ve changed directions many times in life from waiting tables & guiding Napali kayak tours in Kauai, to a personal chef, to Wordpress web developer, to blogger & producer, to social media freelancer, to multiple business owner. But none of that was actually reinventing myself. It’s all been evolving and transforming as I grow.

Along that path, I started a family, found breathwork, the cold, plant medicines, meditation, IFS & somatics, spirituality, and an endless amount of new possibilities. These have furthered my growth and changed what’s important. And opened new purpose.

So at this fork in the road, looking at new directions, new experiences, and new inspirations, I am doing my best to stay open. To trust. To keep moving. And to stop resisting who I am.

So here’s a few happenings:

- my main focus lately. We lead daily guided breathwork, teach a deep dive Breathwork Intensive (last one of 2020 starts Oct 3), and are launching a teacher training in January.

I still teach my weekly breath class on Thursdays @ 6 pm. Starting in October, I switching to Soul of Yoga at 5:30 pm.

Ice Church is still on. It has ebbed and flowed with COVID but this crew has been a major support to keep me going. It’s not going anywhere.

Outside of that, I’m open to my own workshops and weekends of deep experiencing plus 1-on-1 coaching, and other classes.

If you want to know more about any of this, DM me. I am excited to share, connect, and have epic experiences together.

So yeah. Evolving. Transforming. Creating. And finding courage to keep going. 💖

As you may know, over the past few years, breathwork has become an integral part of my life. So much so that one year ago (September 3), my friends , , and I started as a way to share the practices on a daily basis with our communities and beyond.

In this past year, we have a growing global community of breathers who come together on a daily basis to share a daily breath practice led by one of our 9 expert guides. We have also has the pleasure of hosting workshops with various other brilliant breathworkers. It’s been an absolute honor to have shared over 220 live breathes, 15 workshops, and two Breathwork Intensive trainings. (Bonus points to anyone who can calculate the # of actual breaths taken during all of that 😂). And what’s cool is that this groundswell of breath and our young company is just getting going - there so many more amazing things on the horizon!

And I am here to invite you, my local north country SD peeps, to a FREE live outdoor breathe, tomorrow August 29 @ 7 AM at Moonlight Beach in celebration of Our Breath Collective’s 1-year anniversary! These IRL events are pretty rare these days but we need them more than ever to cultivate that lost sense of community that has been swept from under out feet. Luckily, we live in a beautiful place where we can go outside, spread out, soak up the amazing nature that surrounds us, and breath in the ocean breeze. If you are interested, hit the link in my bio and RSVP. I hope to see you there!

It’s time to GATHER…again! is opening on June 13th and I could not be more excited about seeing some of you in the flesh. The last class I taught in person was exactly 99 days ago. That is more than 1/3 of 2020. In that time, our world has been changing more rapidly than we could ever imagine. And as a result, there is no question that our nervous systems are all over the place and our need for socialization and connection is at an all time high.

So I invite you to join me again in the flesh starting next Thursday night, now at 6PM, for my breath class. It’s a great time to tune back into yourself, and those around you with a greater sense of connection and awareness to create space together to step out into this world in a way that we are all called to right now. It’s is beyond time to move mountains and change the systems that we have been stuck in hundreds of years that are no longer serving humankind. Together, we can do it. Let’s use our breath to anchor in power and love.

New protocols include: only 12 students per class, pre-registration required (DM, text, or Venmo me), all classes now $20 (no more sliding scale), bring your own gear (mate, blanket, eye mask, bolster/pillow, etc), and other internal changes within the studio.

My class tomorrow will be the final IG Live class at 5 PM, although if you want to join in person, I am allowing 12 people to come to the studio to practice with me. Hit me up if you are interested.

Did a fun interview with recently about power of ice baths and the Wim Hof Method. The title says it all! ❄️🛀 Peep it via the link in my bio.

Currently headed to the Netherlands to dive deep with my man on all the latest around breathwork. Can’t wait to soak it up and share with you!
