Better For It with Katie Williams

Skip the coffee, try breathwork instead. Using your breath to calm down and fire up with breathwork facilitator Rory Warnock

Listen Later

Most of us take around 25,000 breaths per day but most of the time, we don't even think about it, unless we're feeling anxious, running or meditating. But breathwork has the power to radically change our state if we know how to use it effectively. 

In this episode, host Katie Williams speaks with breathwork facilitator and wellness coach Rory Warnock about using breathwork to calm us down and fire us up.

They discuss:

  •  How Rory uses breathwork to support his mental health and athletic performance
  • What breathwork actually is and how it works
  • Different types of breathwork
  • The difference between mouth and nose breathing
  • How to incorporate breathwork into your daily routine
  • Why you shouldn't be worried about hyperventilating while you're doing breathwork
