We sit down with Jane Tarrant, a leading expert in breathwork, to explore how something as simple as breathing can have a profound impact on climbing performance, fear management, and overall well-being.

We’ll take a deep dive into Jane’s journey—how her early childhood experiences sparked a fascination with breath.  And led her to become an expert in the field. She shares the pivotal moments that shaped her understanding of breathing and how it can be used as a powerful tool for both mental and physical performance.

Have you ever noticed how your breathing changes when you’re on a tough climb? We’ll break down the science of breath control and how different breathing techniques can directly impact your climbing ability. Jane will explain the common issue of over-breathing. Something many of us do without even realising—and how it affects endurance, focus, and energy levels on the wall.

We’ll also explore the key differences between chest breathing vs. diaphragm breathing and why mastering the latter can help you stay calm under pressure. Plus, we’ll discuss the impact of mouth breathing vs. nasal breathing, and why switching to nasal breathing could be a game-changer for your climbing efficiency and recovery.

Finally, Jane will share practical tips and breathing exercises to help you lower performance anxiety, and manage fear while climbing.
