Article on using the Breath as a Tool


Here's a great article by my colleague and like-minded explorer in Canberra, Craig, about different aspects of using the breath as a training tool.  As Craig explains, learning to use your breath properly is an extremely useful and practical skill - with lots of performance and health benefits associated. 

I have been playing around a lot with the use of the breath to enhance several of the long chain myofascial stretches from the RollStretch curriculum (among others) recently, and will post about this in the coming weeks; as you can really enhance some of these stretches with the skillful using of specific breath direction techniques.

Here's a video of a partner stretch that is really good to practice directing the breath in.. sorry about the length ~10 minutes.
