Tracey Howes is a RAID Freediver and Oxygen Advantage Instructor based in the UK. Having grown up near the sea in South Africa, she has always been a supporter of ocean activities that encourage health and wellbeing.
Freediving is a form of underwater diving that relies on breath-holding until resurfacing rather than the use of breathing apparatus. Tracey has competed in the UK British Freediving Association Pool Championships and is a member of AIDA, the worldwide rule and record-keeping body for competitive breath-holding events.
The powerful breathing techniques she’s learned in her freedive practice prevent anxiety and stress negatively influencing thought processes and performance. This training inspired Tracey to expand her knowledge of functional breathing and enable her to teach others how to breathe efficiently and maximise their physical and mental health.
By incorporating functional breathwork techniques into daily practice and training programmes, Tracey’s clients have transformed their breathing habits whether they are training for a marathon or open-water swimming and improved how they manage stress, anxiety and sleep. Clients with sports-induced asthma have seen positive results by implementing gentle breathwork exercises. Tracey has a particular interest in female breathing which differs to male breathing with new scientific evidence supporting this.
Tracey is determined to share ‘breathing re-education’ and practical exercises which we can apply in our day-to-day activities with meaningful, measurable and long-lasting results.
