Author Patrick McKeown is an expert on the art of breathing and has extensively researched the health impact of various breathwork techniques.

In this chat, McKeown goes deep into the science of breathing and what happens in the body when we take that breath of air, from the biomechanics of breathing to the actual molecules and how they interact with our body.
