Episode #10. The link between breathing, posture and movement: unlock your body's full potential with Jane Tarrant
It’s the final episode of the 1st season of ‘Make Movement Matter’! For the finale, I was grateful to be joined by my dear friend, mentor and fellow small business owner; Jane Tarrant. With incredible passion about her subject, you will undoubtedly be inspired and energised by this conversation.
Jane clearly conveys the importance of learning how to breathe well for optimal health, something she found out she desperately needed, through personal experience, having struggled to feel like she was breathing normally since her childhood.
Retraining as a breathing coach its her mission to educate as many people as she can to help others become aware of something that can help them live an often markedly better life.
In this conversation we talk about the difference between breathwork and breathing retraining, why the body benefits from healthy breathing habits and some surprising symptoms that can occur when when they are neglected. We cover the role of posture for breathing, how it affects movement and vice versa and so much more.
I am always inspired by Jane and hope some of her positive energy will inspire you to think more about the way you breathe and how it could be affecting your life.

More about your host, Wendy
Wendy (49) founded Reclaim Movement after a running injury at 40 turned into 4 years of chronic pain. In her search for answers and to reclaim her own movement again she discovered natural movement. The philosophy of training real life practical movements to be able to keep using them as we age, coupled with the benefit of using strengthening and mobilising whole-body movement patterns that are underused in today’s modern world made her realise she had found a way to move for life.
Wendy’s aim is to help people embrace a movement-rich life, at any age, to improve mobility, strength and confidence to keep moving well and doing the things they love for as long as they want.
MovNat Level 1 certified & Functional Range Conditioning certified, she coaches online group classes live & by replay in the Reclaim Movement membership as well as online and in-person private coaching in Oxford.
