“Breathing is your fuel. That’s your energy, that’s your power…oxygen is the thing that ultimately fires every cell in your body”

If anyone knows a thing or two about the power of breathing, it’s Laird Hamilton. The big wave pioneer, stuntman, and fitness guru is certainly more in tune with his body and his breath than most. In this video, Hamilton sits down with host Lewis Howes to discuss how powerful breathing fosters both health and success. He recognizes that breath undoubtedly connects the body to the soul, but it also works as an essential process for life. Over the last year, Hamilton has consciously made an effort to connect with his breath and build a deeper relationship. As a result, he has gained greater control over his body and his mind, and in stressful situations he can better adapt his body to meet the task at hand. For more, watch the video below as Hamilton delves into the power of breathing.

“It certainly brings a level of control over your system that you previously didn’t have. You find you can breathe yourself into real calmness”
