Episode notes
Think breathwork is all about relaxing and de-stressing? Think again.
In this powerful first part of our deep dive into breathwork, I’m joined by Jamie Clements — one of the UK’s leading breathwork facilitators and founder of The Breath Space.
We unpack the truth behind the breathwork buzz, how different techniques affect the nervous system, and how to know what type of breathwork is right for you.
Jamie shares his personal journey into the world of breath, how it transformed his life, and why conscious connected breathing can be so profound - but also why it's not a cure-all.
We explore:
Jamie’s story: from corporate finance to breathwork facilitator
What conscious connected breathwork really is
Breathwork myths (hello, DMT claims and over-oxygenation)
Why not all breathwork is calming
What the science actually says about altered states of consciousness
When breathwork might not be the right tool — and what to do instead
