This podcast is inspired by an email question I received from a teacher working privately with a woman who grew up believing that "women should not show visible signs of sweating or breathing." The podpast includes my teaching recommendation, a reflection on the "Politics of Breathing" (or, why so many women chronically hold their breaths), and a 10-minute guided breathing practice that will help you liberate your own breathing, finding a relaxed, easy, and empowered breath.
