Listen Later

Today, we’re speaking with Ed Harrold, an author, breath educator, and health, performance and leadership coach.

Breathing is the first and last things we do as humans. Did you know you breathe in and out around 25,000 times a day? But you might be breathing wrong and not even know it.

At a cellular level, oxygen is body fuel. It’s how you nourish your muscles and brain. So, what exactly happens if you’re breathing incorrectly?

The bottom line is that it can seriously affect your health.

For the past 25 years, Ed Harrold, a master in the science of mindful breathing, has been committed to helping people understand the importance of transforming the automatic and unconscious process of breathing to a deliberate conscious series of choices.

He invites you to consider the various dimensions of breath: length, depth, rate, and rhythm.

Are you ready to learn how to breathe for health and longevity, and not just survival?

Please welcome Ed Harrold to the Escape Your Limits podcast.
