In recent years the world of breathwork has completely exploded, with some describing it as the ‘new Yoga.’

Breathing is life.

The first thing in life we do is take a breath, and it’s the last thing we do in life too.

But whilst our breath is an automatic function in our bodies, it is true to say that in the modern world, many of us are not breathing optimally and it’s something we have the power to change. Stress, life events and our environment call can change our breathing patterns.

But if we learn to breath properly, our mental and physical health can improve beyond all measure, our nervous systems can become regulated and it can even help us to live longer.

We take roughly 20,000 breaths a day, so it’s worth getting right. Right?

In this podcast I’m talking to expert breathwork coach James Dowler. James talks to me about the world of breathwork and why it’s become so popular today. In particular we discuss the effects of breathing on our over worked nervous systems.

Worryingly however, the breathwork world is now awash with misinformation and incorrect teaching. So listen on for some breathwork truths and discover which practise will and won’t work for you.
