Mindful paths, breathing and the Oxygen Advantage #18

Mindful Paths Podcast

Most people aren’t breathing properly. And because we breathe automatically, we too often overlook ways of optimising it – but actually habits massively impact the way we breathe. In this conversation, we reflect on a series of unique breathing exercises for optimum health and sports performance, and why we all need to breathe better.

Key topics we discussed:

• The importance of proper breathing and nasal breathing
• Mouth taping for better sleep and hydration
• Training the body to handle rising CO2 levels
• Different types of breathwork and their benefits
• Training in hypoxia and hypercapnia
• The importance of efficient swimming

Resources mentioned:

• Breath by James Nestor
• The Oxygen Advantage
