Plan a team-building event that inspires

Want to build a team that thrives? Let us show you how

Planning a corporate retreat or team-building event in the San Diego area? Tired of the same old activities that deliver short-term fun but lack lasting impact? You're looking for something different: an experience that fosters genuine connection, builds resilience, and leaves your team feeling energized and focused long-term. You've landed in the right place. Let me share why I'm so passionate about helping teams unlock their potential through Breathe Degrees events, located in La Costa.

Why Breathe Degrees events deliver

I've had the privilege of helping countless teams plan and experience truly transformative events. I've witnessed the profound impact of breathwork and cold plunging firsthand, and I'm passionate about sharing how these science-backed practices can unlock your team's full potential. Forget the typical team-building clichés – let's talk about creating an experience that fosters long-term bonding, resilience, and a culture of well-being.

At Breathe Degrees, we're not just offering a trend; we're providing a powerful solution. We're trusted by industry leaders like NASA, Pfizer, Vuori, JuneShine, UCSD, and Lululemon because we deliver results. Our events are rooted in deep science, designed to enhance mental resilience, improve focus, and forge stronger connections within your team.

What makes the difference:

  • Science-Backed Transformation: We tap into the power of breathwork and cold exposure to create significant physiological and psychological shifts:
    • Enhanced Mood, Energy, and Focus: Breathwork unlocks powerful neurochemistry, altering levels of norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine in the brain. This leads to improved mood, increased energy, and sharper focus (PubMed).
    • Stress Reduction: Breathwork helps stabilize cortisol ("bad" stress) and releases GABA, promoting a sense of calm and well-being. (Nature)
    • Increased Mental Resilience: Cold immersion triggers a significant increase in norepinephrine (530%) and dopamine (250%), building mental resilience and teaching individuals to manage stress effectively. (Dr Rhonda Patrick, Found My Fitness;
  • The "White-Glove" Experience: Planning events can be stressful. That's why we handle every detail, ensuring a seamless and premium experience for you and your team. From providing premium amenities like plush mats and immersive sound to expert guidance, and even assistance with refreshments or catering coordination, we provide everything you need for a truly exceptional event.
  • Customization is Key: Every team has unique needs. Whether you're looking for a quick breathwork session to kick off a meeting, a 3-hour "wellness retreat" experience with a blend of breathwork, cold plunges, and restorative yoga, or a full-day immersion with sound baths and more, we can create a customized experience that aligns perfectly with your goals.

Stories that speak volumes

I've been fortunate to witness so many incredible transformations. Here are just a few stories that illustrate the power of Breathe Degrees events:

Powur Solar: Dialing in Team Cohesion with a Private Wellness Retreat

The Client: Powur Solar, a leading residential solar company, sought a unique and immersive experience for their Leadership Summit, a team of 60, aiming to foster clarity, focus, and team connection.

The Challenge: To provide a private and rejuvenating experience that catered to a large group, offering both structured activities and open access to wellness modalities.

Our Solution: Breathe Degrees facilitated a private studio experience, where Powur Solar rented our entire facility. We conducted two back-to-back "Breath Express" classes, each lasting 30 minutes, focusing on community building and shared experience. While classes were in session, and after, Powur team members had full access to our sauna, cold plunge, and hot tub, with expert guidance and scientific insights provided by our on-site instructor. We ensured a comfortable and enjoyable experience by providing snacks, fruit, towels, water, and electrolytes.

"We rented out the full studio for a group of 50, and it was amazing! The room the next day was absolutely dialed in." - Events Manager, Powur Solar

YPO: Cultivating Resilience and Peak Performance for Business Leaders

The Client: The Young Presidents Organization (YPO), a global network of chief executives, sought a premium and transformative experience for 90 participants at a luxury event.

The Challenge: To provide a high-caliber wellness experience that resonated with successful business leaders, focusing on resilience, peak performance, and stress management.

Our Solution: Breathe Degrees delivered an exceptional experience, featuring premium setups and a tailored program. Our founder, Dr. Tyler Forbes, provided an extended talk on entrepreneurship, highlighting how our breathwork practice helps cultivate calm amidst the challenges of business leadership. Participants engaged in a 60-minute class focused on finding inner strength to achieve their goals. Following the class, they were treated to a powerful gong sound bath, promoting deep relaxation and mental clarity. Over the next hour, we guided them through a rejuvenating cold plunge and hot tub experience. We collaborated seamlessly with the event planners and other activities, ensuring a smooth and impactful experience.

"I recently had Breathe Degrees at one of my client events and they were wonderful to work with. The clients loved their service. It was a great addition to the event! Breathe Degrees Events is SAN DIEGO EVENTS COMPANY APPROVED!" - Doris, San Diego Events

Road Runner Sports: Igniting Team Spirit Through Breath and Ice

The Client: Road Runner Sports, a leading retailer of running and fitness gear, sought a unique and impactful team-building experience for their top sales performers during their Annual Leadership Conference.

The Challenge: To foster a sense of unity, empowerment, and resilience among a large group of 75 individuals, while also providing an educational and memorable experience.

Our Solution: Breathe Degrees crafted a transformative day, beginning with a powerful 1-hour session of our Signature upregulating breathwork in a conference room at the Sheraton Mission Valley. Led by our founder, Dr. Tyler Forbes, the session delved into the science of breath, empowering participants with practical techniques for stress management and peak performance. Following the breathwork, we guided the entire team through the invigorating experience of cold plunging, first providing expert tips and tricks, and then taking the plunge together in the hotel pool. To enhance the experience, we also arranged for an off-site hot tub, creating a perfect balance of challenge and recovery.

"Breathe Degrees was the perfect start to our Annual Leadership Conference! The ice plunge was an amazing team-building exercise. We felt like there are no barriers that can't be broken!" - Director of Stores, Road Runner Sports

These testimonials aren't just about the event itself; they reflect the lasting impact on the teams and the individuals who participated.
