takeaways

“It's a, you in control of your breathing or is your breathing controlling you?”

“If you're trying to push your limits, you better have control of your breathing and particularly your breathing rate”

“the tongue wants to be in the roof of the mouth and that airflow going backwards.”

“If you can control the speed of your breathing, you're in control of it rather than it controlling you.”

“Where you place that rib cage, your body organises itself above and below it.”

“You're not trying to teach your body to do something odd by asking it to use your diaphragm to breathe.”

“make the mouth like a nose.”

“just one number in isolation is just a little bit limited.”

“use the right tool for what you're trying to do.”

“We have to find ways to believe in ourselves.”
