We breathe every moment of every day, but most of us are stuck at 20% of our full capacity. In today's conversation with UK Coach of the Year, Samreen McGregor, we explore the transformative power of breathwork and its impact on personal healing. Samreen shares her journey from a multicultural upbringing to becoming a successful coach and author, highlighting the deep challenges faced during her 9 year old son's devastating diagnosis and battle with cancer. The discussion delves into the importance of healing and the transformative power of breathwork with its physiological, emotional, and spiritual benefits, while also delving into the science behind breathwork and its ability to release pent-up emotions.
