Alan Dolan is the founder of Breathguru® and one of the UK’s most experienced practitioners of Conscious Connected Breathing. For more than 23 years, he has guided thousands of people through the transformative power of the Breath, helping them cultivate greater self-awareness, resilience and wellbeing.
After graduating with a degree in International Politics from Aberystwyth University, Alan embarked on a successful international career in communications, working across Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Although professionally rewarding, he found himself increasingly drawn to a deeper exploration of health, wellbeing and human potential.
His search led him to yoga, counselling and a range of transformational practices before discovering Conscious Connected Breathing. The profound effect it had on his own life inspired him to dedicate himself fully to the practice.
Having lived with undiagnosed depression for more than 25 years before finding breathwork, Alan understands first-hand the challenges many people face. This personal experience continues to shape his work, allowing him to meet each person with genuine empathy as well as skill and experience.
Over the past two decades, Alan has trained extensively, refining an approach that is both deeply intuitive and grounded in years of practice. He has now worked with thousands of people from all walks of life, helping them reconnect with themselves through the Breath.
Alan’s work has been featured in The Guardian, Forbes, The Times and The Telegraph — you can read the coverage here. He is also a regular Visiting Expert at Soneva Fushi in the Maldives, where he shares Conscious Connected Breathing with guests from around the world.

The Breathguru® Retreat Experience
The Breathguru® Retreat is an opportunity to step away from everyday life and deepen the quality of the relationship you have with yourself. Alan often describes it as “fast-track evolution.”
Each person has their own unique experience. For some, it’s about improving physical wellbeing. For others, it may be about working with mental or emotional challenges, while some arrive with a desire for deeper personal or spiritual exploration. More often than not, it’s a combination of all three.
As every person’s needs are different, the retreat is designed to be as flexible and informal as possible, allowing each individual to get exactly what they need from the experience.
Everyone is welcome - whether you come on your own, with a partner or with a friend.
Every Breathguru® Retreat is personally guided by Alan Dolan. Drawing on more than 23 years of experience in Conscious Connected Breathing, Alan creates a supportive environment in which lasting transformation can unfold.
