Breathing Optimisation – Tuesday Session
Whether you’re a freediver wanting more out of water training opportunities, an elite athlete looking for ‘marginal gains’, someone struggling with stress or anxiety, someone recovering from a lung infection, someone dealing with breathing issues, or a musician, Emma’s Breathing Optimisation classes will increase your lung function, improve your flexibility, build your confidence, and enhance your bodies ability to utilise oxygen.
In 2010, Emma was invited by UK Sport to help Olympic athletes improve their performance in the run up to the 2012 Olympic Games. She developed a programme using techniques from freediving, yoga, and the Buteyko method and started working with an Olympic cyclist. After six weeks of taking Emma’s programme, the full time athlete gained a 10 percent improvement in her lung function, improved her asthma, increased her confidence, and her Olympic cycle was brought forward by four years. Since then, over the last decade, Emma has rolled her programme out to Olympic and Paralympic swimmers with great success. Now she shares her knowledge and expertise with twice weekly classes designed to be accessible to everyone, no matter their health, age or fitness.
