Breathe With JP: 5 Day Emotional Detox

Course program

The 5 Day Emotional Detox by Breathe With JP is a self-paced online breathwork course led by Jon Paul Crimi. Built from the exercises he has taken many people through, it pairs a breathwork technique with five simple exercises and affirmation work to help students let go of pent-up emotion and old stories and build a practical toolkit for stress and self-doubt.

This course is for anyone who wants to work on emotional baggage, trauma, stress, or limiting beliefs outside of traditional talk therapy, and who prefers to do the work privately and on their own schedule. No prior breathwork experience is required. It is not suitable for people with certain medical conditions (epilepsy, uncontrolled high blood pressure, pregnancy, cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, detached retina, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or PTSD without therapist approval).

The course teaches a foundational breathwork technique and five exercises, taught across seven step-by-step videos and practised with four downloadable guided breathwork audio tracks. The exercises work on fear and self-doubt, years of stored trauma and emotional baggage, and old belief patterns, replacing them with new, positive ones.

Alongside the breathwork, a downloadable PDF teaches how to use affirmations and write your own, and a bonus gratitude affirmations track supports a daily gratitude practice. The aim throughout is a set of tools you can use every day or in difficult moments, along with a stronger sense of self-worth, purpose, focus and clarity.

The course is taught by Jon Paul Crimi, founder of Breathe With JP. Originally from Boston and now based in Los Angeles, he came to breathwork after years of working as a celebrity trainer and sober coach. He is known for a direct, no-nonsense approach that strips the more “new age” language out of the practice, and has been featured on Good Morning America, The Huffington Post, and The Hollywood Reporter.

Format is fully self-paced and delivered online. Students get 24/7 lifetime access to the course and can revisit any video, audio track, or PDF as many times as they want. The five days are structured as a sequence but do not need to be completed consecutively.

The course does not award a certificate on its own; an online certification is included only when it is bought as part of the school’s bundle and both teacher trainings are completed. What you take away is personal: tools for overcoming fear and self-doubt, clearing emotional baggage and rewiring old belief patterns, a daily gratitude habit, and lifetime access to the videos, audio tracks and PDF.

    I hate Breathwork and Jon Paul (Kidding) but if you must do Breathwork make sure you do it with Jon Paul.

  • Owen Wilson

    Somehow despite a built-in aversion to new-agey type things I found myself at Jon Paul’s Breathwork class and I’m lucky I did because it’ was a great experience. Memorable, useful and Important.

  • Krysten Ritter

    The first time I stumbled into Jon Paul’s class, I expected a regular mindfulness meditation, and boy was I wrong! It’s one of the most powerful, transformative practices I’ve ever done. I’ve tried a bajillion breathwork meditations, and retreats, and nothing really compares. I always leave feeling lighter, super high vibe, and happy. Jon Paul also brings a refreshing sense of humor and playful sarcasm to the wellness space – and he has excellent music taste. Thanks JP!

    The changes were subtle at first. Small things like staying account-able with food, exercise and spending. Then relationships with friends and family shifted and I felt myself creating boundaries where they were needed. Business improved and I moved to a bigger and better location after five years in the same place. I gave myself permission to travel more, explore and feel free of the stories I had told myself for so many years. I feel different! I am different! How I show up for myself and others is different. Breathwork is changing my life and I am so grateful that Jon Paul shares his story, his enthusiasm and his technique every week and changes lives. Thank you JP for changing lives one breath at a time.

    He does his thing at a church in Santa Monica every Monday and it is the perfect space where you are surrounded with like minded people just trying to get better. Simply put, this works. I have done many things for many years and this is so profound. After one session I was sold. How many things can you say that about? If you aren't local, take his online class from the privacy and ease of your own home. This is one of those times when I just say....do it. You will shock yourself how deep we carry things and how this will help you unload and release stuff you thought you had handled. This is the real deal. It sounds like I may be overselling it, but I promise you I am not. Go love yourself and just do it.
