Using our breath to move from fight or flight mode towards a more grounded and centred place of being.
Jess Harrod is Kate's guest today, a breathwork specialist and coach helping people transform their mental health through the power of breath. Jess was introduced to breathwork at the beginning of the pandemic and the day after Jess' first breathwork session, she booked her teaching course, knowing that this was something special.
Kate tells us how she attended one of Jess' breathwork sessions herself and found a quieter mind and the ability to disengage from her busy thoughts. In this episode, hear Jess explain both the spiritual and scientific side of breathwork, from the cycles of the nervous system to the transcendent nature of deep breathwork.
Here's what Kate and Jess discuss during the episode:
