We can only control the controllable, so when things come in that we can't control it is then about how we react to them.
In this episode, we talk about how to check in with your body, simple tests you can do and how to interpret them to help you become more resilient to your surroundings.

This week Katie and Tom delve into the power behind the breath, what can it do for you, where does the science sit, and the different areas people are using it for.

Always eager to learn more, this is not an exhaustive list, it is our snapshot of where we stand today and as we go further we will keep you up to date on our learnings.

"We breath on average 23,000 times a day."
In this episode, we delve into the basics of breath work, we have deliberately taken a gentle approach as for many this will be their first step into the arena for breath.
It has so many implications, and benefits. Science is catching up to where common sense has long been. It is certainly not a cure, all and no panacea. However, it plays a huge part in a healthy lifestyle.

"The offices and homes we live in are up to 5%more polluted than the outside air."
