Even though the data showed that so many of you were reading this, it felt like I was writing to no one. So I stopped.

Then some of you started reaching out, sharing how breathing helped you and how much you appreciated these newsletters. That made me realize that even though it didn’t feel like it, there were real people, like you, behind the numbers.

So, I'm very excited to be back and continue to share the hacks and tools I come across as a breathing coach with all of you.

The first one is the simplest way to get more breathwork into your day without setting aside a single minute.

Why you haven't heard from me in a while.

The easiest practice that I sometimes forget

A common misconception about adding breathwork into your life is that it requires extra time that you don’t have.

But since you’re already breathing through everything you do, you don’t actually have to add another thing to your to-do list. Instead, you can make small tweaks to the way you breathe during things you’re already doing. Over time, those changes can have a meaningful impact on your mental and physical well-being, without requiring extra time.

That's why one of my favorite practices is the ‘Walking Breath’, which I created for a breathwork app called Regulate.

You can do it while walking wherever you’re already going. My go-to is adding this breathing pattern to my 5-minute walk after lunch - when I remember.

Just follow these simple steps, and you’ll have a great new breathing practice in your toolkit.

Walking Breath step-by-step

  1. Find a steady walking pace

  2. Breathe in through your nose while you take 4 steps.

  3. Breathe out through your nose for 8 steps.

Repeat for 5 minutes, or until you’ve reached your destination.

Think about:

Breathe into your belly and let your shoulders and chest relax. There is no need for big, deep breaths. Instead, make your breathing subtle.

If you feel light air hunger, the feeling that you’re not getting just enough air, that’s a good thing. That means that you are increasing your CO2 level, being more efficient with your breathing, and improving in the long run.

Try the guided version of the ‘Walking Breath’ for free below or share it with someone who might need it.
