IFL now boasts almost 500,000 Youtuber subscribers and has allowed Kugan to employ more team members and Kugan has formed strong bonds with stars of the boxing world, such as Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury and legendary promoter, Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing.

There are many scientifically proven benefits of breathwork. Here are 5 benefits of breathwork meditations. Reduce Stress & Anxiety Breathwork offers a powerful solution for reducing stress and anxiety by completing the body's stress cycle and promoting a sense of safety. Grounded in mindfulness, it helps anchor individuals in the present moment, signalling to the nervous system that they are secure. Numerous studies, like a 1979 research in The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, showcase its efficacy in managing stress. Recent research in 2016 demonstrated reduced anxiety scores in participants practising diaphragmatic breathing daily. Try techniques like diaphragmatic breathing, 4-7-8, box breathing, and more for immediate relief. Increase Energy & Boost Immunity Regular breathwork offers a key advantage: heightened energy levels and a fortified immune system. The way we breathe significantly impacts our immune health and overall vitality. Engaging in breathwork exercises enables our bodies to intake more oxygen, vital for energizing and fortifying the cells that support our well-being. Dr. Jeremy Montrose's 2020 article underscores how improper breathing weakens immunity, linking shallow breathing to stress-induced inflammation. Techniques like diaphragmatic breathing, Pranayama, and controlled breathing can optimize immune function and vitality. Lower Blood Pressure & Improve Circulation Breathwork offers substantial benefits for blood pressure regulation and overall cardiovascular health. Regular practice improves blood circulation and aids in managing hypertension, serving as a natural preventive measure against heart disease. Activating the parasympathetic nervous system through slow, deep breathing, as noted by Vital Heart & Vein, lowers heart rate and widens blood vessels, reducing blood pressure. Techniques like equal breathing, diaphragmatic breathing, and breath focus promote this relaxation response." Improves Sleep Breathwork has become a go-to for improving sleep quality, aiding in energy regulation for better rest. Various techniques assist in calming down and swiftly falling asleep during restless nights, making it a top recommendation for insomnia relief. Supported by a 2018 study showcasing its effectiveness over pharmaceuticals, self-regulated breathing proves to be a potent tool for achieving restful sleep. Increase Muscle Tone Athletes are increasingly adopting breathwork to enhance overall muscle tone and fortify the diaphragm, amplifying respiratory strength. Regular practice not only strengthens the diaphragm but also bolsters overall physical prowess, easing breathing during physical exertion. Parsley Health's 2021 article highlights how breathwork's alkalizing effect on blood aids in improving muscle tone by enhancing sensory and motor neuron function, optimizing muscle contractions and movement throughout the body. If you would like to try a breathwork session, you can try our 30-minute 'Anchoring Breathwork' here.
