Once you take the “red pill” on how to breathe, you can perform to the optimum and improve recovery
– Israel Adesanya, UFC Middleweight champion
Whether you are a sports professional, amateur athlete, or someone who is generally interested in fitness and performance, breathwork training is essential to maximising your potential
Most of us are unaware that eighty percent of the population have a breathing dysfunction and have developed inefficient breathing patterns over the years. Most of us, including personal trainers and fitness coaches are also unaware that you can have a relatively high level of cardiovascular fitness but still have dysfunctional breathing patterns. We can’t “out-train” poor breathing patterns by simply continuing to work on cardiovascular fitness, however, we can significantly improve cardiovascular fitness by improving our breathing functionality.
By teaching scientifically proven breathing exercises and techniques, I can help you maximise and optimise your performance in sports by improving your respiratory biochemistry, breathing mechanics and inner mental focus.

When Sleep is poor, the mind is busy. When breathing is poor, the mind is busy. When the mind is busy, attention span goes out of the window.
– Patrick Mckeown, Atomic Focus 2021
A key element to achieving success in any of our lives at any age from school age upwards and across any profession is the ability to focus, concentrate and hold attention for a significant period of time, without getting distracted. In our modern world, this is easier said than done, given the sheer number of daily distractions we are faced with that compete for our attention, often minute to minute with notifications from email inboxes, Whatsapp, Instagram and many other platforms.
If you want to improve your focus, concentration, and attention span, you first need to improve your sleep. Through breathwork, I can help you improve the quality of your sleep and in turn help you develop and sharpen cognitive functions which are essential for success. Abilities such as attention span, innovative thinking, decision making, memory and being calm and controlled in stressful situations. These are all essential skills in the modern professional world and in day-to-day life.

“Improper breathing is a common cause of ill health. If I had to limit my advice on healthier living to just one tip, it would be to simply learn how to breathe correctly. There is no single more powerful, or more simple, daily practice to further your health and wellbeing then breathwork”
– Andrew Weil MD
Studies show that stress is a common risk factor in 75-90% of all human illnesses. It has also been discovered by scientists that there is a direct relationship between mental stress, inflammation, and long-term disease. We directly influence our emotional state and levels of stress through the practise of breathing exercises and therefore reduce mental stress and inflammation and in turn, mitigate long-term illness and prime our body for better long-term health.
Our mental health and well-being can also be directly influenced through breathwork. People suffering with anxiety and depression have a much higher chance of developing improper breathing habits due to the development a cyclical negative feedback loop between the actual feeling of panic attacks, anxiety, and depression. Then, as breathing worsens further, the stress response is much more easily triggered which then leads to further and often stronger feelings of anxiety and panic attacks.
If you suffer from panic attacks, anxiety, or depression I can help manage and alleviate some of the symptoms and underlying causes through developing and teaching you a daily breathwork program.
