The Breathing Revolution – A Roadmap to Inner Calm

Yolanda Barker In Conversation With Hannah MacInnes

Learning to breathe properly can help you ease symptoms of stress, sleep better, and find inner calm. Award-winning filmmaker and yoga instructor Yolanda Barker is here to teach us how.

Take a breath – and learn to breathe again.

Athletes, singers and even the US Navy SEALs know a secret: Breathing is at the core of everything we do. We breathe over 20,000 times a day, and the way we breathe has profound effects on our physical and mental health. However, many of us don’t breathe properly.

In this livestream event yoga teacher and award-winning documentary filmmaker Yolanda Barker will show us the importance of breathing – and reveal techniques to help us breathe better.

Grounding the information in science and her observations as a long-term yoga teacher, Yolanda will share practical insights to help us improve our breathing on a day-to-day basis, as well as shining a light on the physiology of stress and its effect on the body, mind and emotions.

With research, practical exercises, anecdotes and advice, this livestream talk will show how breath practice and the knowledge gained through it are important and powerful resources to integrate into our daily lives.

Praise for Yolanda Barker’s The Breathing Revolution:

“At last – a practical, compassionate, science-backed resource to support your mental health.” – Dr. Aseem Malhotra, cardiologist, author and health Campaigner

“Yolanda Barker is a breath of fresh air. So is this brilliantly practical book. Read it.”- Donal O’Neill, co-author of The Pioppi Diet

“A practical guide to that most basic of bodily functions: breathing. If you, like me, have spent a lifetime not doing it “properly”, this mix of science and simple exercises is a bit of a game changer.” – Sam Baker, Books to Read Now, Noon.org.uk
