Ep 34 A Chat with Dr Matt Dewar - Breathing as a Practice of Self Awareness

For this episode I had a chat with Dr Matt Dewar, a social emotional learning educator, author and breathwork/mindfulness coach. We discussed Matt's background in Zen Buddhism and living in a monastery in Korea, his approach to breathwork, the psychological factors behind our breathing patterns, why some forms of breathwork don't serve us the way we think they do, and the importance of self-regulation

Matt has recently published the book 'The Mindful Breathing Workbook for Teens' on breathing practices to help teens manage stress
