Hello Producers,

Do you know those inspiring Hollywood movies where the main character undergoes a transformation and discovers a higher purpose? Well, I haven’t spoken with a Hollywood star yet, but I’m sure we’ve got a similar story for you. After experiencing a tragic loss, Harsha discovered the power of breath, and I’m excited to bring you valuable insights from him.

Harsha Dharmana is a breathwork coach and the founder of SFH Breathwork, dedicated to helping high-achieving professionals manage stress and enhance their performance through powerful scientifically proven breathing techniques. After building a successful business and experiencing personal loss, Harsha discovered the transformative impact of breathwork on his own life.

Now, he leverages his expertise as an Oxygen Advantage Advanced Instructor, XPT Performance Breathing coach, Conscious Connected Breathwork practitioner, and soon-to-be Breath Science specialist to help others achieve greater mental clarity, emotional regulation, and overall well-being.

His approach combines practical, science-based methods with a deep understanding of personal challenges. Listen to this episode to be inspired by Harsha's transformative journey, learn the importance of breathwork for a happier life, and get practical tips from a professional breath coach.

Lessons:

  • Master the Power of Breath

  • Challenge Societal Expectations

  • Create Work-Life Balance

  • Embrace New Adventures

  • Pursue a Greater Mission and Help Others

Lesson 1: Master the Power of Breath

We may hear or read about the importance of breath, but when someone tells you firsthand, even virtually, it hits differently. Harsha shares breathing techniques, tutorials, exercises, and explanations across his platforms. If you haven’t paid attention to your breath yet, I highly recommend you give it a try.

Lesson 2: Challenge Societal Expectations

From a young age, Harsha was expected to follow a traditional career path, like becoming a doctor or lawyer, but he had other dreams. Though it wasn't easy, he chose his own path and found what truly brought him joy. His story is a great reminder that we don’t always have to fit into society’s expectations.

Lesson 3: Create Work-Life Balance

Harsha had a successful entrepreneurial career in Hong Kong, but it wasn’t the fulfilling life he wanted. After facing tragedy, he moved to Spain and Bali, discovering new passions while raising a family. His journey shows that balance is key, and fulfillment is more important than just career success.

Lesson 4: Embrace New Adventures

Harsha’s life is full of bold choices—moving from London to Hong Kong, building a business, then relocating to Spain and Bali. Most importantly, he embarked on a life-changing adventure when he discovered Wim Hof. His story inspires us all to step out of our comfort zones and embrace new challenges.

Lesson 5: Pursue a Greater Mission and Help Others

Finding a larger mission in life can make every day feel meaningful. Harsha’s work with breathwork gives him purpose and allows him to impact others positively. If you’ve found your mission, keep going! If not, keep searching—you’ll find it when the time is right.

Although I’ve tried breathwork, ice baths, and meditation before, I haven’t stuck with any of them for too long. But after our chat, I’m motivated to make it a regular practice. The benefits are undeniable, and I’m out of excuses!

What about you? Are you familiar with the power of breath? Do you practice any of these techniques? Did we convince you to dive deeper? I’d love to hear your thoughts—feel free to reply, and I’ll get back to you!
