Why changing how you breathe can transform your health

Each of us takes on average 25,000 breaths a day. Yet, as a species we have lost the ability to breathe correctly – and this has consequences for our health. That’s the argument of bestselling author James Nestor who has travelled the world to explore how ancient cultures used breathing as a medicine to help heal the body and calm the mind.

Join Nestor live for an eye-opening talk, to learn the science and traditions of how the simple act of breathing can transform our health and wellbeing.

Drawing from his bestselling book Breath Nestor will show how the way we breathe affects everything, from sleep to allergies, mental health and athletic performance. He will also share the remarkable stories of others who have changed their lives through the power of breath.
