Alan Dolan

Founder of Breathguru®

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.

Alan’s Story

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. 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.

Conscious Connected Breathing

Conscious Connected Breathing is a simple yet profound practice that uses a continuous breathing pattern to support physical, emotional and mental wellbeing. By working consciously with the Breath, it becomes possible to release long-held patterns of tension, develop greater self-awareness and experience a deeper sense of presence.

Alan believes that the Breath is one of the most powerful tools we have for personal transformation. His work is not about quick fixes, but about creating the conditions for lasting change.
