In Episode #15 of The Human Potential Project, Tom McAdam speaks with Artur Paulins, a breathwork teacher and mindfulness coach.

Creator of Breathwork Academy and the explorer of human equanimity, Artur is working internationally to transform our access to daily calm through breathwork.

In his early years, Artur became one of the first instructors trained directly by Wim Hof. This was his first training in breath mastery, which now spans a variety of breath-based approaches to wellbeing, resilience and inner-strength.

Artur has been practicing and teaching in the breath / meditation space for a long, long time and serves as the perfect guide for anybody who wants to learn more about these approaches.
