February 15 was only supposed to be a date on a corrections calendar. Instead, it quietly grew into something bigger. A post went live from Cain Velasquez asking Northern California followers a simple question: “Would you come to this?”
The timing mattered. Velasquez had been listed as parole eligible in early 2026 after serving three and a half years in jail and under house arrest following his 2022 arrest. Although eligibility does not ensure release, his message made it clear that this was no longer a matter of speculation. He was out. And he was not talking about fighting.
Cain Velasquez plans Holotropic Breathing seminar after release
“After my release on February 15th, I’m exploring the idea of hosting a one-day Holotropic Breathing Seminar,” Cain Velasquez wrote in his recent Instagram post, describing it as a limited-capacity paid event centered on guided breathwork, emotional reset, stress release, and open conversation.
The former two-time UFC heavyweight champion said breathwork had helped him physically, mentally, and spiritually. Now, he wants to share the same with his fans, and the seminar would feature a meet-and-greet, Q&A, and group discussion.
That’s quite a significant shift for a fighter known for merciless ground-and-pound inside the Octagon. Velasquez, 43, was serving a five-year sentence after pleading not guilty in 2024 to attempted murder and related charges tied to a 2022 car chase.
