Why are people not breathing as well as they could? From sitting hunched over in front of a computer, to not knowing how to breathe properly, to living with stress and anxiety, over 90% of us are using less than 50% of our breathing capacity.

“Some people think breath work or meditation, they're just not for me, I'm not a calm person, I'm not chilled out, I have a lot of energy, my mind is always racing, I can't sit still. What they miss is understanding that these practices help you learn to do those things.”

In today’s incredibly beneficial episode we discuss the power of breath work and talk about how it can really change your life for the better with the founder of The Freedom School, and Baby2Body expert, Amrita Das. 

Amrita is a well being expert who helps people thrive through resilience and mindset coaching programmes. She's trained in breath work, meditation, yoga, and currently training in somatic stress release.

We all know that stress and fertility don’t go well together - a study in 2017 found that people who completed a 20 breathwork training session over 8 weeks had significantly lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol than those who didn’t do the breath work.
