Movement moment

As a mum to a boy with asthma and a former yoga teacher, breath isn’t a novelty to me—it’s a necessity. I’ve spend countless visits to the emergency rooms with Neil since he was 3 yo using oxygen masks, steroids and all sorts of in-patient treatments.

I’ve taught people how to “just breathe” before I truly understood what that even meant. Now, after years in the health and fitness industry, and with the obsession with the science of movement, I’ve come to see breath as the quiet backbone of everything we do.

I also like to keep things simple. And breath is not simple. It’s layered, complex, and deeply tied into everything from spinal mechanics to emotional regulation. But if we can learn to understand it—not over-control it or mystify it—we can make our teaching more effective and our practice more sustainable.
