The Healthy + Happy Podcast Episode 16: Breathe  

On this episode of the Healthy + Happy Podcast, Tanden and Dr. Slade discuss how healthy breathing and proper movement benefit our health in many aspects, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually—it’s about much more than just fitness!  Many of us might be aware that breathing can help reduce emotional pain (anxiety, etc), but did you know it can also help with physical pain? It might seem strange, since breathing is one of the most natural things that we do, but many of us have been breathing incorrectly for the majority of our lives. Breathing correctly can help us be stronger and happier! So how do you know how to breathe correctly?
