Just keep breathing
Today brings us to the end of our week of “breathing focus”. Â While we’ll be entertaining other points of performance in the coming weeks, don’t let the awareness and work done with breathing fall by the wayside. Â We started with breathing because it is foundational, on top of which we build the rest of our movement. Â The attached articles today get more specific on how breathing can be optimized for specific activities. Â Even if they don’t apply to you, they can offer a useful exploration of what’s possible.
