Jonny on… Focussing on the Basics; an Exploration of Breath and Performance

Update: 2023-03-07

Description

A worthy saying in performance is to focus on the basics and not to get bored of them. After all, it’s generally accepted that the team that has the basics locked down tends to come out on top - and those that skip the basics tend to find themselves coming unstuck and reactive further down the line.

At the core of everything in life, according to Jonny, is how we are on the inside - here lies our worth, our gift and our potential. Without connecting to this source and consciously grounding ourselves in who we are, everything we do will feel like effort. It will lead to stress, fatigue and plateauing.

How do we find our way inwards?

Big questions in today’s episode include:
- Why is breathing so important?
- How can we work with our breathing to consciously return to relaxation in the presence of the fear?
- How can harnessing our breathing help us grow?
- How do we focus upon breathing? Can we become more aware of it?
