Danny
Rebirthing Breathwork
Danny Edvalson lives in Rexburg with his wife Erin and their eight children. A lifelong seeker, he first encountered breathwork at an Evolution Project retreat in 2021. The non-religious but deeply spiritual experience was a novelty as he had come up in a western, conservative, religious household, where empirical data ruled day and night.
“But it was a game changer,” he recalls. “It cracked open the shell I had been living under for years and brought a slow but steady stream of openness and authenticity to my life and, consequently, my marriage. It is a beautiful practice for men and women alike and I can’t recommend it enough.”
Having trained under Intuitive Healer Zach Rehder of Sedona, Danny has facilitated well over a hundred breathwork sessions and has held space for groups of all sizes. Danny credits his personal breathwork practice with deepening his intuition and creating greater alignment in his life to his purpose and passion—to bring greater freedom and joy to God’s children through connection and awareness.
