Deep breathing isn’t just for yogis.

In each episode (which lasts just 15 minutes) I explore one thing you can try that could make a big difference to your life.

Deep breathing can also be an effective way of dealing with pain.

Chronic pain is closely linked to stress and learning how to do ‘controlled breathing’ is an important part of treatment for managing both.

If you live in a state of chronic stress or pain, your nervous system will stay on permanent high alert, with your muscles in a constant state of tension.

Stress and pain make your levels of stress hormones surge, which in turn will keep your brain in a state of constant arousal.

You can do this any time you feel stressed or in pain!
