Is How You Breathe Helping You or Hurting You? | Stuart Sandeman

Performance People

It’s the most basic function we all take for granted but learning to harness our breathing can help us manage stress, release tension and even allow us to switch our mindsets when we need to.

Stuart Sandeman was grieving the death of his girlfriend when he booked a breath class as a Mother’s Day gift. What happened in the next hour changed the course of his life and he now works as a breath coach to high-performers in different fields. The author of Breathe In, Breathe Out tells Georgie of the different benefits that come from regular practice, how he works with clients to improve performance and why, despite breathing all our lives, most of us just aren’t doing it right. He also takes us through a simple breathing exercise that can reset our mind and body and prepare us for the day ahead. By prioritising our breathing, he says, we can boost our mood, output and resilience. Given how many of us are living lives in which stress is the norm, he also explains why breathing might be the most simple antidote.
