It’s late.

I have something important to share.

But my e-mail writing hook hat just isn’t on right now. So I’m not going to try to capture your attention with something fancy.

Just an incredible quote, and some free teaching.

“The importance of breathing need hardly be stressed. It provides the oxygen for the metabolic processes; literally it supports the fires of life. But breath as “pneuma” is also the spirit or soul. We live in an ocean of air like fish in a body of water. By our breathing we are attuned to our atmosphere. If we inhibit our breathing we isolate ourselves from the medium in which we exist. In all Oriental and mystic philosophies, the breath holds the secret to the highest bliss. That is why breathing is the dominant factor in the practice of Yoga.”

— Alexander Lowen, The Voice of the Body

Here’s the goal.

• heal your body with breathing
• feel internally clear, focused, connected to source
• open new ranges of motion so you move freely, without the unnecessary forcing and effort that just trains you to tighten up again

You in?

If so, good.

Because in this e-mail you’ll get:

1. A video teaching you some basic (for me, maybe not for you?) and essential breathing biomechanics
   ​
2. Specific benefits you’re likely to experience when you make your movement practice an and life, consciously breath-centric (it already is, but you might not be aware of it).
   ​
3. An invite to tomorrow’s immersive BREATHING SPACE workshop, where we’ll dive much deeper… to aid your healing, movement + performance

Let’s begin.

Firstly, some breath biomechanics for healing + performance

You can follow along or watch and learn!

Secondly, the reason you need this in your life, and the effects it’ll have:

1. Chances are, you don’t realise how much effort you’re wasting. Not just in your movement or training… But in your life, too. Because you’re probably not focusing on your breathing enough of the time — and breathing is a layer that deserves a solid percentage of your attention, 100% of the time.
2. If I were coaching you, this is what I’d invite you to change: Become breath-awareness. Literally become it. Call yourself a monk or an athlete or an entrepreneur… It doesn’t matter. Just know your breathing intimately in this eternal present moment. This is the lever that changes things.
3. Breathing isn’t a technique… it’s an awareness practice. A harmonisation between your psyche/energy and your body’s structure. A bridge between unconscious and conscious function that we can open or close. A window into your state of being, that when tracked, enables you to notice details you’d normally miss while remaining in a flowing, energised, internally supported state. This is not only biologically healing — it also enhances your focus, training quality + output immensely.
4. Every major system and function your body has is downstream of breathing. It is a causal chain that detoxifies + clears inflammation (lymph flow) keeps nerves and organs healthy (blood flow) and supports efficient movement and performance (neurological function).

Breath mastery is the anatomical and energetic lynch pin that keeps your body, and therefore your psyche, business and relationships thriving. Yet it’s still seen as some cute accessory to “tune up” rather than to build lives around.

If you want to transform the quality of your training, movement and life… learning foundations of breathing is essential.

I’ve been studying + teaching this specific area of movement for 6 years now. The worlds of meditation, yoga, elite sport, strength + functional training, rehabilitation and somatic therapy have all lead me right back to the breath, again and again.

I initially looked into breathing to heal my back and found a gateway into a forgotten sense of peace. So I’m sharing the distilled insights, experiential practice and specific movements in the Breathing Space workshop.

There’s too much to say for this e-mail… and what’s crazy is there is WAY more to feel and experience directly.

So I’m inviting you to do just that.

I’ve developed a simple system to level-up my results from training, heal injuries, end chronic pain AND deepen my present-moment relationship with life itself.

Lastly, a run-down on tomorrow’s Breathing Space online workshop

Dealing with pain, restriction, stuckness around the shoulder blades and neck?

Feeling like your spine and ribs aren’t as open, supple and available as you’d like?

Feeling a bit physically crusty — and the sense of fogginess, heaviness, stress, overwhelm that comes with it?

Sounds like you need some *breathing space*.

Actual, physical space for your lungs, diaphragm, viscera and tissues to move freely. To be massaged by your breathing. To bring in new life, energy and circulation: lymph, blood, nerves…

And this will dramatically help with your overall state; with your overall clarity.

I’m running a breathing space online workshop in less than 10 hours (7AM AEDT) where we’ll be dropping into a state where your most nourishing, intuitive breathing pattern is the guiding principle.

Your nervous system will inform the tempo. You’ll learn to sense and respond to your body’s whispers to set the tone for your practice — and I’ll help you discern between your green zone (body is available to adapt) or your red zone (body is tightening + protecting itself).

I’ll be teaching you (while we’re breathing in this state together) the best movements I’ve learned and created, to heal my body + feel clear.

You’ll learn specific exercises I’ve taught elite athletes, physical labourers, entrepreneurs and parents.

I’ve personally used these to for:

— fractured rib

— chronic back pain

— injured neck

— fractured sternum

— restricted scapulae

And my clients have been blown away by the almost immediate mid + upper body freedom and overall ease these tools provide.

If you’re ready to breathe some joy into your body + move spaciously, click the link below for all details and registration.

(A few of you who can’t get off work etc. have asked if the recording is available. Yes, it will be sent to all sign ups.)

See you there!
