The Breathwork Club

This episode is a rerecording of episode number 47. It recently came to my attention that the audio quality in some of the previous episodes is not great. I record and edit all the episodes of this podcast myself, while trying to juggle a busy professional and family life. I didn't do as good a job of this as I could have at times. The audio quality here should be a bit better, and I do apologize to anyone who has listened to an episode with poor quality in the past.    The simple body scan and gentle breathing meditation begins at 2.16   Instagram: @brianbmalone [https://www.instagram.com/brianbmalone/?hl=en] Patreon: thebreathworkclub [https://www.patreon.com/thebreathworkclub] Music: Gareth Quinn Redmond [https://garethquinnredmond.com/]
