15 years of terrible anxiety vanished with Conscious Breathing

Number 4 - 2015

Hi reader !

In this issue of BreathingNEWS you can read about how breathing retraining can reduce anxiety and improve lung function. In a study we recently completed at a CrossFit gym the result clearly shows that nasal breathing is possible even at high intensity.

Leslie Green interviewed me in her radio show recently. In the one hour show we talked about how to improve our breathing habits in order to reduce stress and improve our health.

The Best Stress Management Tool Ever

Leslie Green interviews Anders Olsson. "Every hour this happens 1,000 times. What is it? I’ll give you a hint: you do it, I do it, babies do it, your dog is doing it right now. It’s this thing, that unless we’re doing yoga, Pilates, Qigong, or meditating, we don’t even pay attention to it. Yet it’s the best stress management tool on the planet, and it's always with you, and best of all, it’s free! Yes, it’s your breath! But as simple as it sounds, we tend to royally screw it up."
