🌬️ How I rediscovered real breathing 🌬️

We all know how to breath right? I've been doing it since I was born. 😁
A while back I stumbled on The Oxygen Advantage work by Dr. Patrick McKeown and it genuinely changed the way I breathe, and run, for good. I used to mouth-breathe without thinking with the false belief that it was the best way to get the most amount of air into my lungs, but learning to breathe functionally through my nose transformed my nasal breathing, my calm, and my running endurance, in addition to helping me stay calm before attending emergencies. It wasn’t overnight, but it was worth every practice session.

These days, this is one of the first things I talk about with the people I coach when they ask about how to breath (a seemingly odd but very good question) because good breathing isn’t just about performance, it’s about better energy, better focus, and better quality of life. 💪🏽

Don’t just take my word for it check out this great post from The Oxygen Advantage and see what Patrick and the community are sharing:

Here’s to calmer, stronger breathing, day in, day out.
