#45: How To Change Your Life Through Breathing: Javi Gutierrez

The Brock Cannon Podcast

Javi Gutierrez wasn't always an always optimistic, funny, relaxed and blissed out man who is now the founder of the successful Miami studio Breathtribe.

Javi had just moved to the US from Spain, and the adaptation was a lot to say the least. A new language. A divorce. A child. Stress. Back pain, body pain, and as a result, he did what many do and tried to escape by turning to alcohol and other distractions.

Then he was introduced to the Wim Hof Method and it all changed.

He felt alive again, back to being himself, and the pain (emotionally and physically) began to fade. He couldn't believe how much life could change simply by learning how to breathe consciously. From then on, Javi has been on a quest to master the breath and all it's functions. He's certified as an instructor in 3 major breathwork modalities, and runs the chic and trendy Breathtribe studio in Miami, giving people powerful healing sessions each week.

On a personal note, I had the privilege of going through the Wim Hof Method instructor training with Javi in the mountains of Colorado in the dead of winter. Javi was right in front of me as we suffered intentionally on the shores of a frozen lake in 26 degree temperatures with blistering winds. He's a powerfully passionate human being, and you will feel his passion in this episode.

When I need answers on anything breathwork related, I go to Javi. He's my breath mentor.

In this episode we cover:

-How Javi found breathwork and got his life back

-How to breathe for stress relief (we do the breathing LIVE on the episode together)

-How athletes can train more efficiently and maximize their oxygen levels for better performance

-How to become a better "breather"

-And much, much more!

Javi is always putting out the coolest content, so be sure to follow him:
