Finding Your Truest Self Through Breathwork with Benedict Beaumont

Meet Benedict Beaumont,  a Breathwork Facilitator, Yoga Teacher and founder of the Breathing Space School of Breathwork. Before he discovered Breathwork, he was mostly a high school teacher in the South Coast of England, sometimes a chef and chalet manager in the French Alps, occasionally a writer and always an adventurer. He now lives in Canada with his wife and young daughter.

In Episode 43, Benedict introduces us to conscious breathing — a technique he learned on a felicitous trip to Southeast Asia in 2014.  Although well-versed in meditation, Buddhist dharma, and yoga, Benedict reveals the profound and life-changing experience breathwork had on his life, ultimately shaping the course of his future.  He shares his fundamental belief that everyone’s body is wise and knows exactly what it needs to heal and transform at any moment.  He also dives into the science of breathwork, the mental, physical, and emotional benefits, and how you can potentially become a breathwork facilitator.

Benedict’s Takeaways:
