State Shift
Three weeks to train the one thing every breath depends on.
Breathless is a three week breathwork challenge built around CO2 tolerance. You measure where you start, you train six days a week, and you measure again.
Join Breathless · $99Working with and learning from Tarik has truly been a life changing experience. The breath work skills I have learnt and applied to my life have become essential to both my mental and physical health. I learnt a variety of skills such as ways to calm my nervous system, and skills to optimize not only my physical recovery from exercise, but to also use during my workouts. This course is the whole package.
You know this isn't
your full capacity.
You know there is another level of capacity in you.
You just haven't trained the system that helps you access it.
Your breathing is doing
more work than
it needs to.
When you consistently breathe faster or heavier than the moment requires, your system learns that pattern as its baseline.
The result is a breath that races ahead of your body. You feel winded too early, your heart rate climbs quickly and ordinary effort can feel harder than it should.
Breathless helps you recognize that pattern, regain control and build a more efficient response to stress and effort.
Your energy disappears too quickly. Overbreathing all day is still work. You wake up foggy, fade in the afternoon and rarely feel like your battery is fully charged.
Your breath reacts before you need it to. Walking upstairs, playing with your kids or starting a warm-up is enough to leave you breathing heavily.
Stress takes over. Your breathing speeds up, your heart rate follows and small moments begin to feel bigger than they are.
Recovery takes too long. Between rounds, after a workout or following a stressful moment, your body struggles to settle and regain composure.
The pattern follows you to bed. Your body is tired, but your system remains switched on. You sleep, but rarely wake up feeling deeply recovered.
Your breathing becomes slower, lighter and more controlled. You stop wasting energy on a breathing pattern that is doing more work than the moment requires.
You have more capacity for real life. You can play with your kids, climb the stairs or move through a warm-up without immediately panting for air.
You respond to stress with greater control. Your heart rate and breathing can rise when needed without instantly tipping into overwhelm.
You recover more efficiently. You settle faster between efforts and regain your focus and composure sooner.
You give your body a better chance to rest. A calmer baseline supports deeper sleep, steadier energy and clearer thinking throughout the day.
You are not just learning how to breathe slowly. You are training your body to use the breath it needs, when it needs it.
Three weeks.
Three phases.
One clear path.
18 guided sessions, one a day, six days a week, 10 to 15 minutes each. Every session knows exactly where it sits in the plan.
The Opening
Awareness & Control
Capacity & Recovery
Integration & Resilience
The Retest
The Close
Bring your questions to the final call. You need a floor and a phone.
Everything in
one place.
Three weeks of structured breathwork, with a live opening workshop, a daily guided session, and a measured baseline you retest every Sunday.
CO2 Tolerance Workshop
Live with Tarik and Susan. The mechanism, the protocol, and your baseline. Recorded if you can't make it.
18 Guided Sessions
One a day, six days a week, 10 to 15 minutes. Awareness and control, capacity and recovery, integration and resilience. Yours to keep.
The Breathless Blueprint
The three phase roadmap: awareness and control, capacity and recovery, integration and resilience. Plus the baseline and retest protocol, yours to rerun any time. You always know what's next.
Live Session & Hot Seat Call
Full retest, troubleshoot what came up, and where you go from here. Recorded if you can't make it.
Keep All of It
Every session and both call recordings stay in your account. Run the program again whenever your baseline needs a reset.
What shifts
in three weeks.
Stress Response
Handle pressure without shutting down or burning out. Your nervous system learns to process stress instead of storing it.
Sleep Quality
Fall asleep faster, wake up less, recover deeper. Nasal breathing at night is one of the highest-leverage changes you can make.
Physical Performance
Better oxygen efficiency, faster recovery, more endurance. You gas out less because your breathing mechanics are finally working with your body.
Mental Clarity
Think sharper, stay calmer, make better decisions under pressure. Regulated breathing changes your neurochemistry. Not metaphorically. Literally.
This breathwork workshop changed the way I think about breathing. Tarik is an amazing instructor, super knowledgeable, supportive, and passionate about what he does. His guided breathwork sessions were unlike anything I'd ever experienced and showed me just how powerful our breath can be. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone, whether you're just getting started or looking to deepen your practice.
Tarik's teaching style made the content approachable and relevant: a great balance between evidence-informed information and highly practical strategies I could use right away.
The sessions facilitated a deep shift in my awareness, unlocking new sensations and emotional releases I had never encountered before. A truly holistic experience.
That was a wicked workshop! I loved all the research and info you shared along with actually getting to practice. I left with a whole new appreciation and curiosity for breathwork.
The workshop creates
the experience.
The challenge builds the practice.
Our Foundations Workshop has been the signature thing we do for years. People come in tight, shallow, running on cortisol, and something genuinely opens in that room. By the end they're breathing differently. Feeling differently. The energy is real.
And then they go home.
A week later, the stress is back. The shallow breathing is back. The workshop happened. The practice didn't. Not because people didn't want it. Because an experience, no matter how powerful, doesn't build a habit on its own. Structure does.
I know this one personally. I was in the best shape of my life before I took my first full breath as an adult, in the middle of a certification that broke me open. One moment started it. The daily work is what changed me.
Watching that gap, between the breakthrough and the daily practice, is exactly why Breathless exists. Three weeks is long enough to build the practice, and short enough that you'll actually finish it.

We'll be straight
with you.
Breathless works when people do it. If you show up for three weeks, the number moves. If you don't, it won't. Here's how to know if you're the right person.
This is for you if
- You want proof, not vibes. A number you can watch move beats a feeling you have to remember.
- You've tried breathwork or meditation and felt something, but couldn't make it stick solo.
- You want the mechanics and the science, not just the feeling.
- You can find 10 to 15 minutes a day, six days a week, for three weeks.
- You like the idea of a baseline you can retest any time, for the rest of your life.
Skip this if
- You want a passive experience. This requires you to actually breathe.
- You're after a transformation without a practice to support it.
- You want a one-time high that resets by Monday. This is three weeks of training, not an event.
- You're not ready to pay attention to what your body is doing. That's the entire work.
Do the work.
Feel the shift.
Or pay nothing.
7-Day Money-Back Guarantee
