JR Ramirez

Founder · Owner · Instructor

CASAPRANA was birthed from one person's journey from Corporate America and residential mortgage banking to finding recovery, nervous system regulation and movement. After two decades spent in the high-stress world of mortgage banking, JR found meditation, breathwork, yoga and a new path. He traded the security and familiarity of real estate and established Nexus Breath in 2023 — a mobile breathwork practice that he has shared at studios, resorts and private events. Now JR and Nexus Breath are dropping roots in the heart of Downtown Indio.

What began as a personal practice became a calling: to build a place where the whole community could find that same steadiness through breath and movement.
