Why breathing exercises were crucial to Jackie’s Long Covid recovery

Описание: Jackie’s Long Covid recovery story

As a fit and healthy 30 year old Jackie didn’t see herself as at risk for Covid. But in March 2020 she contracted the virus and began a 39 month battle to recover her health and beat Long Covid.

Learning to breathe properly was the first big step in her recovery. Initially skeptical, she realised, with the guidance of a breathing instructor, that she had been unintentionally hyperventilating most of the time.

Yoga Nidra and guided meditations were great to help shut off her busy brain and provided her with much needed cognitive rest. While cold water swimming boosted her energy levels.

In the video, she explains how these things led into each other, and why cold water swimming wouldn’t have worked until she had fixed her dysfunctional breathing.

Now fully recovered Jackie hosts the Long Covid Podcast and is working as a breathing instructor to help others who are still unwell
