Ep 20 - Breathwork

The Therapy Explained Podcast

Episode 20 sees me joined by breathwork expert Patrick McKeown. Patrick is hugely passionate about the power of the breath, in part due to the impact poor quality breathing had on his physiology in his younger years, as well as the misinformation on breathing in society at large. Patrick explains the risk mouthing breathing poses to our well-being, something that is rarely picked up on at critical periods by parents or health professionals.

Through his work, Patrick has contributed to the field of breathwork with programmes that help develop functional breathing patterns. Patrick tells us how we can measure whether we have optimal breathing patterns with a simple exercise and practical changes we can make to improve a fundamental component of our health, our breath.
