Press Feature on Gulf News Podcast – “Tell Me Why”

A Breath of Healing in the Everyday

In a recent episode of Gulf News’ “Tell Me Why” podcast, IMD Breathwork founder Brendon Hansford joined host Maria Botros to illuminate the often-overlooked power of our breath. He explored just how much our breathing patterns mirror our emotional state—from stress and anxiety to moments of joy—and shared an essential practice for landing back into calm: paying conscious attention to each breath—naturally, and without judgment.

In the follow-up episode, Brendon delved into the physiological science behind IMD Breathwork. He explained how alternating breathing—inhale activating the sympathetic (“fight-flight”) response, exhale engaging the parasympathetic (“rest-digest”) system—supports everything from sleep quality and mounting resilience to reduced stress and better immune and metabolic health.
