Yukkuri don't actually breathe in spite of their beliefs. Since they don't have lungs or a mammalian digestive tract, they don't have anything to cause a pressure differential that would result in rupture or rapid expulsion. They would freeze rapidly though.

Belief Power is a helluva thing. If they believe they're supposed to breathe, they'll do just that and drown or suffocate when they can. I bet if you tell them they can breathe underwater or that they can grow their accessories back or levitate and they'll do it.
