Breath

The part everyone comes back for

Every session opens with guided breathing. Friday sharpens it for training, Saturday slows it down for connection and stress resilience, Sunday takes it outside. It is the thread that ties performance, recovery and community together, and the piece we share with Cold Club.

Who are the guides

Led by people who live this

Certified breath and cold guides from GMA and the Cold Club network. A different guide leads most weekends; Cold Club weekends happen the first weekend of each month.

Matt
Founder, GMA and Cold Club

Matt Soule

Matt has spent two decades teaching executives, athletes, military personnel and people facing serious health challenges how to work with stress instead of against it. He founded Cold Club and built its Adaptive Stress Training approach around breathwork, cold and heat, fasting and movement. He has taught thousands of participants and trained instructors around the world. At Kinect he leads the practice and sets the standard for every guide.

Jeb
Certified Cold Club Holistic Instructor

Jebediah Stewart

Jeb spent twenty years running large kitchens under pressure and saw what unmanaged stress does to a body and a team. He now guides individuals, families and groups through breath led recovery, cold plunge and contrast work, and the intentional food gatherings that keep a community together. Practical tools, no mysticism. If there is a BBQ on a Saturday, it is his.

Negar
Breath and cold guide

Negar

Negar brings the quiet side of the practice: slow guided breathing, group connection and the meditations that close the Sunday outings. She came to breathwork through her own search for calm in a demanding career and now teaches it as something anyone can learn in a morning. Expect a soft voice and a room that leaves lighter than it arrived.

Draft bio, to be replaced with Negar's own words.

Why Kinect

This is all about human connection and well-being.

Most of us train alone, recover alone and carry stress alone. Kinect is a weekly reason to do those things with other people: breathe in a room together, get cold together, walk out into the trees together. The practice is the excuse. The people are the point.

Breath as the entry pointGuided breathing changes how you feel in minutes and needs no equipment, no fitness level and no experience. It is the simplest door into the rest.
Cold, on your termsCold water asks you to stay calm when everything says panic. That skill travels. Nobody is pushed in and the guides are trained to keep it safe.
A room full of peopleCoffee after class, a hike on Sunday, a BBQ when the weather allows. Show up a few weeks in a row and you will know names.
Rooted in GMA

Hosted at Greenlake Martial Arts in Seattle. The mats, the space and the coaching standards come from the school.

Cold Club affiliate

Breath and cold protocols shared with the Cold Club network, with certified instructors leading every session.

Start small, grow together

We begin with three mornings a week and grow the community one weekend at a time, adding cold plunge, saunas and gatherings as it earns them.

Your first session is free. Friday breath, Saturday breathwork or Sunday outing. Pick one and show up.
