If you're feeling the overwhelm of a busy life, finding it hard to stay healthy and a challenge to maintain some balance, then finding your breath could be the prescription you need.

Join Gus on his fascinating and entertaining journey to heal himself by reconnecting with his breath, bringing his body, mind and soul back into balance.

Gus has a foot in the academic and artistic worlds and has always worked in high-stress environments. After a decade in professional kitchens, he went from the frying pan into the fire when he was elected one of the first Greens on Bristol City Council.

Despite loving the gym and good food, his health declined over the years. Battling along on very little sleep, and relying on alcohol to bring the quiet at the end of the day was a recipe for disaster. After suffering two breakdowns and severe depression Gus embarked on a quest to discover what made him feel happiest within himself, and by doing so, discovered the key was in his breath.

This fun and scientific narrative looks at how we can all improve our everyday breathing to unlock more energy, reduce our stress and live fuller lives.
