Breathing: the most important, least-understood factor — not only in training, but in life.
Despite many years as both athlete and trainer, it took me a long time to realise how breath work relates not only to performance, but health and well-being. — Steve Maxwell

IN THIS SEMINAR, YOU WILL LEARN:

- A test of breathing proficiency and how you score
- How breathing directly relates to mobility
- How you can use breath work to diminish muscular tension and pain

LEARN WALKING MEDITATION:
