I’m sorry, but somebody needs to address the elephant in the room 🐘
Every January I hear people talking about new fitness regimes and “getting healthy”…
while completely missing the importance of breathing and having a regulated nervous system.
I’ve been a gym freak before and in the same year, I also had a nervous breakdown while being in the best shape of my life and training for a half marathon 🏃♀️
Fitness is important, but being fit doesn’t automatically mean being healthy.
😡 I’ve seen people with abs of steel whose short tempers suggest a highly stressed nervous system.
🏃♀️ I’ve seen people run on treadmills breathing through their mouths with no awareness of how that affects their physiology.
💔 I’ve known people who eat well and train hard yet describe themselves as chronic snorers — not realising that poor sleep and breathing issues put strain on the body.
Breath is fundamental.
When we’re stressed, our breathing pattern changes.
When we’re shocked, our breath can momentarily stop.
And many people breathe in a way that keeps their body in a constant low-level stress response.
When we learn how to regulate our breathing… How to use our lungs efficiently and support proper oxygen exchange…our nervous system responds.
Our heart rate can stabilise.
Our stress response can soften.
Our energy and focus improve.
We show up calmer, clearer and more resilient.
So if you want to learn how to breathe better, breathe more efficiently and create a more stable internal environment, I’m running a 6-week breathing course.
Mondays 6–7pm
Starting 19th January (next Monday)
Recordings available if you can’t join live
Because without being a complete cheese ball 🧀 real health starts with your nervous system. And life quite literally starts with your breath.
