EP224: How Breathing Changes Your Body and Mind with Stuart Sandeman

EP224: How Breathing Changes Your Body and Mind with Stuart Sandeman

Author: Kristen Manieri December 27, 2022 Duration: 58:11

There is so much more to our breathing than simply our automatic inhales and exhales. In fact, our breathing has an immense hidden power to change the way we think and feel. This week I'm joined by Stuart Sandeman, breath coach, founder of Breathpod and author of Breathe In, Breathe Out: Restore Your Health, Reset Your Mind and Find Happiness Through Breathwork. Our breathing impacts our sleep, stress and how we manage pain. It has potential to help us focus better, perform better and connect more deeply with ourselves, others and the world around us. We just need to begin leveraging the power of the breath, which is simple but not always easy.
