Series: “DURING is ENDURING: Mental Strategy When Things Get Intense”
It’s a specialist episode! We like to switch it up and not just hear from the Pro’s, but also from the specialists.
On Today’s episode, we invited Ryan Lashlee on to specifically talk about the effects of breathing on mental and athletic performance.
Ryan is certified in Functional Movement, and through out the process of becoming certified, breathing techniques quickly became a passion of his within the required material.
Humans have to breath to survive, but surprisingly, we breath incorrectly most of the time. What Ryan shares is that through techniques and studies, there has been proven ways to improve stress, anxiety, and athletic performance through how we allow oxygen in and out of our lungs!
So much to learn from this episode and we barely hit it all! Make sure to look up all the resources and specialists Ryan mentioned in this episode to learn more on what he talked about. Enjoy!
