They explore the physiological, mental, and emotional benefits, and share essential techniques like CO2 tolerance and nasal and diaphragmatic breathing.
Plus, they debunk common myths and caution against the dangers of unregulated breathwork coaching, offering the sage advice: “beware of the guru.”

Quotes from Episode:
“What I love about breathwork is that it acts like a rudder on your ship. Many people feel like they are a ship in a storm, being tossed around by life's waves. Breathwork helps you steer. If you need to relax, you can use your breath. If you need more energy for a workout, you can use your breath for that too.”
“As a breathwork practitioner, people often project their admiration onto you, thinking you're amazing. That power is so easily corruptible and that's why you get so many terrible life coaches, shamans and breathworkers.”
