Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Off The Mat with The Breathwork Breddah: Exploring The Power of Breathwork
Q: What is breathwork in practical terms for someone who has a yoga practice or is curious but nervous about trying more intense forms?
Breathwork is simply consciously engaging your breathing system. You can start with nasal breathing, then explore calming or activating patterns (coherence or box breathing for rest and digestion, upregulating patterns for energy). The experience can be profound and unique each time, so start slowly and with guidance.
Off The Mat with The Breathwork Breddah: Exploring The Power of Breathwork
Q: If someone is newer to this practice and they've not tried much breathwork, like how can you start to use the breath intentionally throughout your day to better understand yourself, to regulate your emotions?
Begin with nose breathing throughout the day, move toward diaphragmatic breathing to engage the lower lungs, and practice slow exhales to activate rest and digest. Gradually introduce formal breathwork sessions, and couple them with habit stacking to attach new practices to existing routines (e.g., tea time or morning routines).

Q: What's your dream retreat location or next big plan?
Costa Rica is recalled as a dream retreat destination, though he acknowledges the carbon footprint and impact of retreats worldwide, signaling thoughtful consideration for future offerings.

Q: Where can people find you or learn about upcoming sessions or retreats?

Q: What is an essential item in your yoga bag other than your mat?
Richard humorously says he believes you don't need to rely on gear or equipment; he advocates less stuff and emphasizes breath, movement, and presence over accessories.
