THE STORY OF
The Breath Guide began in the spring of 2023 with a vision to create an online breathwork platform where people could access breathwork journeys and guided meditations from the comfort of their homes. Breathwork, creative narration, and heart-centered music serve as the foundation of these offerings, which are designed for personal wellness and transformation. In addition, we provide resources such as scientific studies, blog articles on breathwork, journaling prompts, and wellness handouts to create a holistic support system for our members. This comprehensive approach became known as Breathwork 360.
Â
At the end of 2023, Rafael Yedid and I expanded this vision by making the platform bilingual. We recognized a significant gap in resources for the Hispanic community and felt that breathwork journeys needed to be experienced in a person’s native language for deeper connection and understanding. With offerings in both English and Spanish, The Breath Guide is the world’s only bilingual breathwork platform, allowing us to share our message of well-being with diverse communities across the globe.
OUR UNIQUE APPROACH
The Breathwork 360 approach includes a wide variety of themes and session lengths for the whole family. Our members enjoy opportunities to interact in community forums, attend live events, and develop friendships, ensuring that they always feel supported. We strive to create a nurturing environment where members can find empowerment, shift perspectives, and experience transformative growth through the power of their breath.
Let The Breath Guide and our community be your trusted companions on your journey to wellness, mindfulness, and personal enrichment.

JOYCE HARRIS
FOUNDER
As a mother of four and grandmother of five, nurturing others has always been at the heart of everything I do. For over 35 years, I’ve operated a service business where I saw my role as one of supporting and caring for our team of more than 20 employees. Over the years, I became deeply curious about human behavior, and I grew more aware of the quiet inner pain so many people carry. I felt called to find a way to help ease those burdens.
After the world was profoundly impacted by Covid, I noticed an alarming rise in stress and anxiety, especially among younger people who seemed to be struggling under the weight of it all. In 2022, I discovered Breath Masters and became a certified breath coach, learning how to use breathwork to promote wellbeing and guide others toward genuine transformation. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working with many clients—veterans, first responders, and individuals dealing with chronic stress, unresolved pain, and deep wounds from childhood.
It is my hope that this platform becomes a beacon of support, offering a space for hope and healing. My dream is to empower each member to live their best, most purpose-filled life, with breathwork as a tool to guide them along the way.
RAFAEL YEDID
CO-FOUNDER
Since 2015, I’ve been on a transformative journey of spiritual growth, discovering the profound impact of conscious breathing, meditation, and energy work. I have immersed myself in courses, workshops, and retreats, gaining tools to help others reconnect with their personal path of healing and transformation.
I hold certifications in conscious and transformational breathwork, as well as personal development techniques from international organizations such as Yoga Alliance (Spain) and the University of San Sebastián (Chile). I’m also a graduate of the ECORE Program at Newfield Consulting and an advanced student of Dr. Joe Dispenza, with specialized studies in Archetype Healing and Reconnective Healing.
I’ve had the privilege of sharing my knowledge with companies like IBM, Lenovo, and Samsung, focusing on emotional balance and well-being through breathwork and meditation. Since 2020, my focus has been on promoting holistic wellness by addressing unresolved emotions.
I’m deeply grateful to Joyce Harris, founder of The Breath Guide, for inviting me to join this extraordinary project. As a proud father, entrepreneur, and content creator, I continue to share my passion for well-being and healing with a growing community.
