At Aloha Athletics, we know that performance isn’t just about training harder—it’s about training smarter. That’s why our coaching programs incorporate performance breathwork techniques to improve endurance, recovery, and mental focus on the water. One of the most overlooked yet powerful tools for athletic performance is something we do every second of the day: breathing. That’s why I’m excited to announce our next Aloha Athletics Virtual Book Club pick—Breath: The New Science of a Lost Artby James Nestor
Why Breath?
In this eye-opening book, James Nestor explores how modern breathing habits are harming our health and performance—and how simple changes can lead to massive improvements. Whether you’re paddling long distances, racing, or just looking to optimize your recovery and focus, Breath provides practical techniques backed by science.
If you’ve ever struggled with endurance, stress, or even sleep, this book could change the way you think about something as simple as inhaling and exhaling.
