Co-Host & Breathwork Facilitator

James Stewart was born and raised in Australia. As an adult he traveled extensively in pursuit of elevated levels of fulfillment and freedom — a search that led him to conscious breathwork as one of the most effective tools he'd found for optimizing physical and mental performance.

James joined The Breathwork Channel as a core member of the team, bringing his coaching background to guided sessions for individuals and teams who want efficient, holistic ways to improve health, performance, and a stronger sense of self.

You'll find James leading the channel's calming Sunday Slowdown sessions and stepping in for Jesse on select weeknight broadcasts.
