Just keep breathing
Today brings us to the end of our week of “breathing focus”. 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. We started with breathing because it is foundational, on top of which we build the rest of our movement. The attached articles today get more specific on how breathing can be optimized for specific activities. Even if they don’t apply to you, they can offer a useful exploration of what’s possible.
