Kevin Connelly is the founder of ReConnect Breath and the lead facilitator behind its addiction, anxiety, and depression programs. He is an author, researcher, speaker, and a wilderness first responder who became obsessed with breathwork after using it to overcome his own depression, anxiety, and addictions.
His work focuses on nervous system regulation and the physiology of cravings, urges, and stress, drawing on breath science, HRV research, and stress physiology rather than clinical diagnosis or treatment. Kevin has refined his methods while studying with breath experts and spiritual leaders, including James Nestor and the 8th Chokyong Palga Rinpoche.
Through ReConnect, Kevin and his team have guided more than 6,000 people through breathwork and cold exposure sessions and trained over 100 instructors around the world. In 2025, his team ran a research study with 65 participants measuring heart and brain activity to document how ReConnect’s breath protocols shift the body from stress states into coherence and calm.
