Episode 326: Breathing As a Movement Skill w/ Julie Angel

Julie Angel is a multi-passionate movement, breathwork and parkour coach, artist, award winning filmmaker and author. In this episode we explore: The benefits of restoring functional breathing patterns, Why you want light, slow and deep breath, Why starting and finishing any movement training with breath is so beneficial, The connection of breathwork to stress and resilience, …and so much more!
