Lunch & Learns: The Power of Better Breathing | Free
With Dr. Andy Sabatier DPT, Physical Therapist and Founder of Academy West Breathing Performance
What if the way you breathe is keeping you stuck in cycles of discomfort? Join us for an engaging, educational movement experience exploring the mechanics of breathing. This essential action performed over 20,000 times each day can profoundly support or disrupt every system in the body, yet it’s often misunderstood. Through clear guidance and clinical insight, you’ll learn the difference between functional and dysfunctional breathing, why it matters, and how to improve it in practical ways.
