This weeks guest on move breathe live is dr Matt dewar. Matt dewar has a doctorate in education (social-emotional learning), is an author of the newly released book the mindful breathing workbook for teens and a personal development advisor and breathing analyst.

Matt Dewar works with schools helping students through his work of mindfulness along with his study of breathing and respiration with the research legend Peter Litchfield Phd.

This was one hell of an education we get in a short 60 Minutes. There is soooooo much that we can take from this chat as an understanding of what is missing from so many takes on breathing education these days.

As someone who spent time in a Korean bud fishy monastery, Matt brings a slightly more spiritually guided idea of observation and awareness to the table to help us get to the root of the issues that our breath is trying to highlight.

If you enjoyed this episode please do subscribe, like, share and save these episodes as well as making sure to leave me and Matt comments so we know what you thought of the show.

get ready guys, this is the penultimate episode of Jens Journal.

This week I bring you another fellow Anatomy in Motion practitioner, Kendra Toothill, who I have know for the last 2.5 years or so and have learnt so much from in that time. Kendra is a fully qualified BSc athletic therapist with back grounds in yoga, strength and conditioning and a whole lot of experience bringing both those eastern and western sides of the coin together.

Over the last few years Kendra has incorporated her knowledge gained through years of study both in the traditional education model as well as through working with the likes of Gary ward and his Anatomy in motion model and has built her own method which she describes as "supporting stuck, depleted women re-ignite powerful radiance through transformative holistic health programs so they can feel good again, trust their body and confidently shine." A big chunk of this is through working with scars.

scars can play a huge role in people physical and mental health and Kendra spends her time now educating and helping woman explore these ares to free them selves up, both physiologically and physiologically to get to the root of their issues, whether that be food intolerances, anxiety, pain and many other issues

This was such a great conversation and one I highly recommend to any one who has had scars that they maybe just avoid, don't like touching or just generally have ignored since they happened.

his week I am super stoked to welcome my good friend and someone I consider a mentor in my practice of Anatomy In Motion, Anthony Claffey. Anthony is someone I have known for nearly 3 years now and have been learning from that whole time. As one of the main men in the AiM world, he has some serious knowledge to impart about how we can take control of our health and life when we bring more attention onto ourselves.   We discuss a whole Bunch of great anecdotes of clients we have worked with, he demonstrates how you can begin to practice some simple movements and begin to notice differences and changes in your body over time.  

you can find him at

hope you enjoyed the episode, please, subscribe, comment, rate and review here or on apple podcast or anywhere you can think that would help me out. Please share this with anyone who it might help.

This week I am super lucky and proud to say that I got to chat to the Brian Mackenzie. Brian is some what of a legend in the sports performance world and has taken that knowledge in to the world of stress and human performance world now. Brian is a New York Times best selling author, founder of Shift/adapt, co-founder of the non profit health and human performance foundation and the art of breath, a coach and so much more.   

In this episode we get into the ideas around primary emotions and how these drive us to our decisions and choices and how we perhaps do or do not have control over those choices. As well as this we look at the roll of CO2 in stress and how we feel it.  

Brian is one of the main people I hoped to one day get to chat to on this podcast so to get to do it before episode 30 is incredible. I hope you enjoy this episode in which we tried to look at the idea of primary emotions and the way we react or respond to them.

Seriously go check his work out over at

in particular check out this video on primary emotions from his insta feed, its one of my favourites of his https://www.instagram.com/tv/CBgoYR1D... Any way please subscribe/like/rate/review and comment if you enjoyed the episode and I will see you all real soon.

So this might be one of the most important podcasts I have recorded so far. I cannot believe I got to chat to Dr Sandra Kahn for over an hour on a whole plethora of subjects from anthropology to the issues of orthodontics to breast feeding and thumb sucking and so much more.

I honestly believe there is so much in this episode that EVERYONE should be listening to but especially parents. Getting onto some of these issues early is key and can set kids up for a much happier/healthier life later on but unless we know and understand these things then we just don't know that they are an issue and can be worked on for better health

Dr kahn isn't on any social media but her website is www.forwardontics.com and there is an instagram handle where you can see more about the work of the vacumaticator we discuss @forwardonticsmex

also I highly recommend buying jaws https://uk.bookshop.org/books/jaws-the-story-of-a-hidden-epidemic/9781503613584 this is a UK link so you don't have to use amazon but go buy it independently and blow your mind.

In this weeks episode of move breathe live I get to chat to my old friend from my time in Canada snowboarding. James, or goldbeard, as I like to call him (listen for why that is) was one of my teachers as an instructor but also a super fun guy to go drink with haha.  In the time since I left Canada and last saw James in person we have stayed in touch and both been on a pretty similar journey of discovering ways in which we can become healthier and happier through movement, breathing, being outdoors in nature and more.  This was a super fun episode where we discuss natural movement, breathing, the spiritual nature of nature itself and a lot more.  

You can find Goldbeard over at www.instagram.com/jameselementalbody or on his website at www.elementalbody.ca  

also please do check out his amazing wife Krissi on insta for lots of great nutrition tips and classes at www.instagram.com/krissihyland. 

 I Hope you enjoy this episode, id love to know what you thought, leave your comments in the section below and if you wanted to just listen as a podcast, go find it at both Spotify and apple and anywhere else you could care to look.

this goes from a Jens journal into a bit of relationship chat between me and Jen.

This week on move breathe live we welcome Jacko from the school of callisthenics to discuss his work with the breath to benefit his history of head Injuries from a career as a professional rugby player.

We get into lots of awesome stuff that will be great for all you athletes, whether a rugby/football/netball or any other type of player, or a CrossFit, gym bunny fan.

Jacko really breaks this stuff down in a simple accessible manner to help you get much more from your practice and your body.
