    Episode 83 Part 1 - Why Breathing Less Can Give You More with Patrick McKeown
    Sep 12 2025
    What if the way you’re breathing is the very thing holding you back?In this first half of our conversation with world-renowned breathing expert Patrick McKeown, we dive into the surprising science of functional breathing and its impact on health, focus, and yoga. Patrick shares his personal journey with asthma and poor sleep, and how discovering the Buteyko method changed his life.You’ll learn why “taking a deep breath” isn’t always the best advice, and how subtle changes in the way you breathe can influence everything from your concentration to your recovery.We explore:Patrick’s story of transforming his asthma and sleep through breathingWhy nasal breathing matters so much more than you thinkThe myth of “bigger breaths = more oxygen” and what science really showsThe lost history of yoga breathing, and why subtlety is the keyHow small adjustments in practice can boost blood flow, calm the mind, and improve performanceAbout PatrickTo date, Patrick has worked with some of the top athletes in the world across a variety of sports including tennis, cycling, weight lifting, American Football, MMA and track and field. Patrick’s professional memberships include Fellow of The Royal Society of Biology, and Chairman of Buteyko Professionals International (BPI).A TEDx speaker, Patrick’s work has touched the lives of thousands and more worldwide. His work has been published by leading publishing houses including Harper Collins (UK), William Morrow Press (USA), Red Wheel Weiser (USA), Sperling & Kupfer (Italy), Kanki Publishing Inc. (Japan). Journal publications include the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, The Journal of the American Orthodontic Society and Clinical Otolaryngology.Patrick’s book, ⁠The Oxygen Advantage⁠ is an extension of this work, combining simulation of high-altitude training and specifically-formulated exercises which empower athletes to improve their sports performance safely, legally and at no cost. For the first time, athletes are afforded a reliable and accurate means to measure their progress using the Body Oxygen Level Test, enabling them to address poor breathing habits; understand in simple terms how oxygen is released to working muscles; and to practice breath hold exercises that naturally increase aerobic and anaerobic capacity.The team at Oxygen Advantage have granted listeners to this podcast an incredible 20% off their Breathing For Yoga Instructor training Course - use code ALBA20 at checkout!About Alba Yoga Academy⁠Learn more with Alba Yoga Academy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn more about our Yoga Teacher Training here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch our extensive library of YouTube videos.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Hannah on Instagram.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Celest on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

  • Episode 82 - The Science of Touch with Celest

    Episode 82 - The Science of Touch with Celest
    Aug 29 2025

    What really happens when we experience touch? How does your nervous system take something as simple as pressure on your skin and turn it into safety, movement, or even emotion?

    In this solo episode, Celest takes you on a fascinating journey through the science of touch. From the receptors in your skin to the speed of nerve fibres, the mapping of the spinal cord, and the emotional processing of the insula, she unpacks how your body translates sensation into meaning.

    You’ll discover:

    Why sensation is essential for safety and movement

    The role of different receptors in the skin (pressure, vibration, stretch and more)

    How your peripheral nerves send signals at lightning or slower speeds, each with a unique purpose

    Why the parasympathetic system should really be called "repair and digest"

    How touch links not just to the body, but also to emotion and social connection

    This episode blends anatomy, neuroscience and practical insight to remind us just how magical and adaptable our nervous system really is.
