Looks like they are just naturally dying. Looks like a very healthy orchid!

Generally speaking, the bottom leaves of a plant are the oldest and it’s part of the life cycle for them to die off. If newer growth is yellowing is when we should be concerned. I agree with swamp witch.. looks like a healthy orchid!
