Shake The Ground Podcast

Show Notes

Shake The Ground Podcast | S02EP04 Can something as simple as changing the way you breathe change the way you handle stress, anxiety, sleep and even the hardest moments of your life?

This week on Shake the Ground, we are joined by Níall Ó Murchú, also known as Breathe With Níall, author of The Blissful Breath and The Power of Cold, and a breathwork and cold-exposure teacher with more than 25 years experience in health and wellness.

We talk about his early basketball days, struggles with asthma, his deep yearn for something more, and how he became an expert in the Wim Hof Method, teaching alongside Wim himself.

Níall breaks down what breathwork can actually do for our nervous system, stress, anxiety and sleep and we even try a breathing exercise together towards the end. We also get into cold exposure, some of the myths within the wellness world, and the simple practices we can use to feel calmer and more connected in everyday life.A fascinating conversation about the power of the breath, the body and learning how to come back to yourself.
