Are you searching for a slice of tranquility amid the hustle and bustle of your modern life? You might be surprised to learn that the solution is right under your nose—literally. 

Join me in this episode as I delve into an enlightening conversation with Kathy Bell, an expert breathwork practitioner. Together, we discuss the transformative potential of conscious breathing and its remarkable impact on our well-being.

Kathy explains how breath work, by virtue of our ability to control it, affects our nervous system and helps us maintain a sense of calm even in stressful situations. We dig into the complexity of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems and how understanding them can empower us to handle stress more effectively. We also address potential concerns around the practice of breath work, underscoring the importance of learning under guidance and tailoring the practice to fit your body and your breath length.

Can breathwork leave you feeling fatigued? Can it truly counter depression? Is it possible that breathwork might inadvertently heighten anxiety? Join us as we run through all the questions a beginner to the practise might have.

So, take a deep breath, and let's learn about breathwork together!
