We’re always breathing, so what’s the big deal, right?

Should you be aware of how you are breathing?

In this week’s episode, Evie and Toréa have the pleasure of talking about functional breathing with Dr. Andy Sabatier of Academy West Performance. For something we do over 10,000 times in a day, you’d think that we were all breathing with correct form! Shockingly, most of us are not using our anatomy in the way it was designed. In this episode you will learn what parts of our anatomy are most important for functional breathing and why this is so important for your health, for your athletic performance and for longevity.

Let’s dig in!
