“This course is a useful complement to James Nestor's book on the breath. It offers insights into the way in which the breath works, as well ad practical advice and demonstrations of techniques anyone can apply to reap the benefits of breathing better.”

“I have mixed feelings about this course. Is James Nestor knowledgeable? Absolutely 110%. And so I have come down on the yes, would recommend.
Some of my reservations are similar to those I had about his book. Invaluable information. However, his communication style will not appeal to many people. It is very flat and while he may be into all the geeky stuff that he has researched (and good on him) it isn't necessarily what people have signed up to listen to, delivered in a monotone as he gazes off-camera.
I could live with that for the quality of the information. My biggest reservation is the structure of the course. He flings massive amounts of information - and exercises - at you in the first few chapters and only then says brightly that doing too much can do more harm than good. It is a pattern with the course. Later exercises are the same. You are encouraged to practice and then told about the dangers of overdoing. You don't end up knowing what /which to do.”

“We all just breathe without much thought but James Nestor has changed that for me. The course was clear and easy to follow and made me aware that simply by paying more attention to how we breathe can have a profound impact on the biochemical balance inside our bodies.
I really appreciated the James Nestor is not evangelical or dogmatic in his approach to exploring the benefits of breath work. Instead he provides clear explanations both scientific and from ancient traditions and then just asks you to try it to see if it works for you. I have certainly become more aware of my breathing and feel that this greater appreciation of simply breathing will provide significant benefits for many years to come. Thank you James for your BBC Maestro course.”
