James Nestor transformed his health through breathwork, and with a background in science journalism, he went on a quest of understanding. He wanted to uncover why so many of us are breathing poorly – and how to fix it.
Ten years’ research and experience later, his book Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art is a New York Times bestseller and has been translated into more than 35 languages. He has also written for The Atlantic, Scientific American and the BBC, and he has spoken at Stanford, Harvard and Yale medical schools, the UN, WHO and UNICEF.
He's bringing that wealth of expertise and experience to his BBC Maestro course to demonstrate each breathing exercise, explain the science and history behind it, and hope that it has the same transformative effect on your life.
