#12 - Christopher Villanella - Creating The Space, Breath Work, & Heart Coherence.

We have an incredible human being on the pod today and I am excited to share this conversation with you. Especially the first 10 minutes Christopher creates the space for this conversation using breath work.

I hope that the first 10 minutes makes your day.

Christopher Villanella and I met at Renzo Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in Portland Oregon. Christopher is my breathing coach and has also coached me through Wim Hof breathing and getting into a freezing river in the Vancouver Area of Washington State.

In this conversation we discuss his current love for understanding more about heart coherence, breath-work (Wim Hof & Kasper van der Meulen), what influenced him growing up, his world travels (train hopping, life experiences), and his most recent travels to Australia to support his friend who is running over 50 km a day across the country for veterans mental health.
