Today's episode is all about breathing and there are some many interesting topics covered as Stephen sits down to chat with Andrew Ritchie of Performance Breathworks a health organisation focused on breath work and movement techniques.

Andrew discusses how breathing work can help enhance performance in many areas including recovery, mindful awareness, manage sleep and stress and increased concentration. 

The two look at different ways people breathe and what diaphragmatic breathing is and the benefits of this over chest breathing, plus some tips if you want to consciously move away from nasal breathing to see some of these benefits.

You'll also hear them talk about:

• How Andrew got into this area of work

• The 'Why' behind why we breathe

• What HRV stands for and its importance

• The framework Andrew suggests for stating breathe pattern work
