There is so much more to our breathing than simply our automatic inhales and exhales. In fact, our breathing has an immense hidden power to change the way we think and feel. This week I’m joined by Stuart Sandeman, breath coach, founder of Breathpod and author of Breathe In, Breathe Out: Restore Your Health, Reset Your Mind and Find Happiness Through Breathwork. Our breathing impacts our sleep, stress and how we manage pain. It has potential to help us focus better, perform better and connect more deeply with ourselves, others and the world around us. We just need to begin leveraging the power of the breath, which is simple but not always easy.  Guest Bio Stuart Sandeman is the founder of Breathpod and has worked as a breath coach to award-winning artists, Olympic athletes and top business executives. He has created two series of Decompression Sessions for BBC Sounds and BBC Radio 1, and joined Brit Award winner Lewis Capaldi on his 2020 UK tour to help support anxious fans.   For episode homepage, resources and links, visit: https://kristenmanieri.com/episode224    Learn more about coaching: Kristen@kristenmanieri.com    Mentioned in this Episode Guest’s book: Breathe In, Breathe Out: Restore Your Health, Reset Your Mind and Find Happiness Through Breathwork https://www.amazon.com/Breathe-Out-Restore-Happiness-Breathwork/dp/1335430687    Guest’s website: https://www.breathpod.com/  Host Bio Kristen Manieri is a coach who works with teams to increase both productivity and wellbeing.
