Meet Chris Theisen
Chris began his breathwork and meditation journey in the early 2000s and has since continued to broaden his practices. In 2023, he embarked on his men's work journey, and in 2024, he added polarity work to his repertoire. Chris recently completed a year-long breathwork teacher training, further solidifying his expertise in the field.
Chris believes that breathwork and meditation are not only beneficial for individuals but also serve as a strong foundation for relationships and personal growth, and are incredibly helpful in healing from trauma. He emphasizes the importance of creating a safe and welcoming space for his practitioners to explore their inner world and connect with their breath and body.
With his warmth, compassion, and ability to tailor his teachings to meet unique needs and goals, Chris is dedicated to helping both beginners and experienced practitioners cultivate greater balance, clarity, and resilience in their lives. His motto, “Life is serious, let's not take it too serious,” hints at the element of fun he brings to his classes. Join Chris on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and personal growth through breathwork and meditation.
Chris has spent over 4 years living, working and exploring parts of Costa Rica. He knows the way of the land and is a fluent Spanish speaker.
In Progress
AJ Mars Breathwork Certification
Chris is completing the AJ Mars Breathwork Certification — a professional training program based out of Ojai, California, designed to prepare practitioners to guide others through the full spectrum of breathwork. The curriculum covers foundational breathwork techniques, the physiology of breathing, breathwork for emotional regulation, and advanced breath patterns for enhancing energy, relaxation, and mental clarity.
Structured as a 12-week curriculum with monthly calls and live intensives led by AJ, all trainings can be attended in person in Ojai, CA, live online, or via recording — with a hybrid option available to fit different schedules and locations.
This certification is part of AJ Mars's broader Master of One Teacher Training ecosystem — a comprehensive toolkit covering breathwork, embodiment, intimacy, and spiritual awakening — designed for those called to lead truly transformative sessions.
Physiology & Practice
Deep training in how breath affects the nervous and cardiovascular systems — from foundational techniques to advanced breath patterns for energy, relaxation, and mental clarity.
Healing & Embodiment Modules
Specialized modules focused on releasing emotional blockages through breath, and an embodiment module exploring body awareness and the integration of mind, body, and spirit.
Business & Practice Building
Beyond the breath itself, the program includes practical business skills — marketing, client retention, and workshop organization — to help practitioners build and sustain a thriving breathwork practice.
We are not broken versions of who we’re meant to be.
We are evolving—shaped by our past, not bound by it.
Every pattern, every habit, every story we’ve carried has served us in some way.
Now, with awareness, we can honor them—and gently release what no longer fits.
This is the work: not to fix, but to transform.
To let go of the old ways of being so the future version of you can step forward—clearer, freer, more alive.
You’re not becoming someone new.
You’re becoming more truly yourself.
And from that place, a life of depth, purpose, and quiet abundance begins to unfold.
The Approach
Chris's Philosophy
Every Sol Pathway journey is built around three interlocking ideas — the foundation of everything Chris has learned over decades of work.
Movement as Medicine
Movement opens doorways within us that stillness alone cannot reach. When we move with intention — through trails, breath, and body — we create space for the soul to expand, release, and come home to itself.
Stillness as Strength
Breathwork, meditation, and reflection aren't softeners — they're force multipliers. The people Chris works with come to understand that inner stillness and outer power aren't opposites. They're partners.
Community as Context
Something powerful happens when people move together, struggle together, and sit in circle together. Sol Pathway trips are small for a reason — real connection requires space, not crowds.
