In this Episode, I talk all things breathing and respiration with Performance Breathing Australia Coach, Richard Burrows. He gives me some great insight into just how powerful breathing can be, and how it's largely a misunderstood area of improving performance and managing our health, controlling our stress, and decreasing our anxiety. If you've heard of Wim Hoff or are a fan of some of his philosophy, this will resonate very well with you. If this is new to you, I suggest you sit, listen and of course, Breathe!
Richard Burrows has a background in corporate work and owns his own recruitment company. Then there's the Performance Coach and athlete Richard. Through his own discovery of training and performance, he has found a special interest with the mechanics, physiology and indeed psychology of breathing.
As Richard sees it, breathing is an incredibly powerful physical phenomenon, and indeed, even though it is largely an unconscious activity, Richard believes that in order to get more out of ourselves, both during exercise and at rest, we need to make it a little more of a conscious activity.
This is a very worthwhile listen, and even better, Richard ran a breathing workshop for my members whilst he was in our region. I participated and found it a very interesting, challenging and enlightening experience. I never really realised just how powerful it is and how much we can actually change our physiological state by breathing with certain rhythms.
