The Story
About Austin
Austin Strickland freediving in lotus pose underwater next to a Buddha statue on a coral reef

I'm Austin Strickland — a retired Navy Corpsman and Apollo Beach local. My path to yoga and breathwork didn't start in a studio. It started underwater.

I got into breathwork to become a better spearfisherman — to stay calm, go deeper, stay longer. What I didn't expect was what it did for the rest of my life. Gradually, the practice started showing up everywhere. Managing chronic pain. Processing the mental weight that comes with military service. Finding stillness in a life that had always been in motion.

I'm not here to sell you a lifestyle. I'm here because this stuff works — and I want to bring it to this community, at sunset. The Reset is an adult practice — a space designed for stillness, not spectacle. Veterans, neighbors, adults who've never done yoga a day in their life.

I'm actively pursuing formal breathwork certification — the donations from this community go directly toward that training and toward making these sessions better. We're building this together.

Show up. See for yourself.

The Practice
What to Expect
🌬️

Breathwork

Controlled breathing techniques that regulate your nervous system, reduce stress, and increase oxygen efficiency. Used by freedivers, military, and athletes — now brought to the beach.

🧘

Practical Yoga

Movement designed to release tension, unlock tight muscles, and restore blood flow. No chanting, no mysticism — just functional movement that your body will thank you for.

🌅

6:30 PM Setting

Apollo Beach Preserve at golden hour. Bring a mat if you have one — grass works too. Show up in whatever you're wearing. The only requirement is showing up.

A Typical Session
What Goes Down
6:30

Arrive & Ground

Show up, drop your stuff, find a spot. No rush, no roll call. Take a minute to decompress from the day before we begin.

6:35

Breathwork

15–20 minutes of guided breathing techniques — box breathing, diaphragmatic work, controlled retention. This isn't hype. It regulates your nervous system and it works fast.

6:55

Movement & Yoga

25–30 minutes of functional movement designed to release what's tight and wake up what's dormant. All levels welcome — modifications always available, nothing is mandatory.

7:25

Cool Down

We close with a short cool down and a moment of stillness. The sun sets over Tampa Bay. That part takes care of itself.

7:30

Community

No agenda. Stick around, talk, connect — or head out. Either is good. Community builds over time and this is where it starts.

Questions
FAQ

What does donation-based mean?

There's no charge to show up — this is a free community practice. If it brings you value and you want to support Austin's continued training or help with equipment costs, there's a Venmo link on this page. Completely optional.

Do I need yoga or breathwork experience?

Zero experience required. This is built for people who have never stepped on a mat as much as it is for people who have. Every movement has an easier version. You do what your body allows.

What should I bring?

A yoga mat if you have one — the grass works fine if you don't. Water. Comfortable clothes you can move in. That's it. Show up as you are.

What if it rains or there's a weather issue?

If a session is cancelled due to weather, you'll get an email notification — join the list below. If you haven't heard anything, we're on. Lightning or severe weather is the only reason we cancel.

Where exactly in Apollo Beach Preserve?

We meet at the waterfront area of Apollo Beach Preserve, 6800 Golf and Sea Blvd, Apollo Beach FL 33572. Look for the group on the grass near the water at 6:30 PM — you'll find us.

Is this for all fitness levels?

Yes. The Reset is designed for adults of all experience levels and fitness backgrounds — beginners welcome. Sessions are kept approachable and are not high-intensity. Please note: The Reset is an adult practice and is not designed for children.
