If you've been listening to the podcast for any length of time, you've probably picked up on the fact that I'm pretty much obsessed with yoga breathing.

It's my preferred practice for stress, anxiety, for deep sleep,

and for really controlling your nervous system.

In recent years, I've been doing speaking and teaching

and a lot of research, and I just get so excited by how

accessible how simple how safe it is how everyone can really learn it. It just

takes you know two to five minutes to have a really profound impact on your

nervous system. Unfortunately most of of the books, most of the

teachings out there, they're really confusing, they're pretty esoteric, they're

pretty hyperbolic, and they don't really give you a good idea of how things work.

And so I'm always trying to meet people who keep

things simple and focus on the science on this week's podcast. You'll basically

be listening in on a research call that I did with a respiratory therapist which is a profession I didn't even

know existed but really great information about oxygen and CO2 about

ventilation and oxygenation and a whole bunch of other nerdy breathing topics which hopefully will be of interest to you.

If you're not so interested in the science of breathing might be a podcast to skip but I know there's quite a lot of breath nerds out there so hopefully you'll find this interesting

if you're new to the show it's Lucas Rockwood here I'm your host I'm a yoga teacher a

trainer a serial entrepreneur I'm a father of three international kids but at the end of the day

I'm a student and I use this

podcast as an excuse to go out and learn things and hopefully share some

interesting information with you here that inspires you and me and all of us hopefully

to live a more fulfilled life. If you like
