The Power of Your Breath with James Nestor Reviews

This course is exceeding my expectations. I had feared that it might just duplicate the information Nestor gave in his book, "Breath", but there is some much more information and, what's more, lots of exercises.

I'm part way through and am really enjoying it. Every lesson is a revelation, or two. James Nestor really knows his stuff and imparts it with humour, simplicity, and authority.

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've been a Masterclass subscriber for several years, but this BBC Maestro course is the most practical and life-changing teaching. Thank you, BBC and James Nestor, for sharing this knowledge with us.

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.
