Meet Epsy Tarchak
the founder of Retrain Your Breathing Program.
Originally from Paris, France, Epsy has been living in Marin County, California for over a decade. As a successful entrepreneur in France, Epsy led an exciting but very stressful life that triggered anxiety and raised her blood pressure, despite her belief that she was a healthy and physically active woman.
Epsy embarked on a journey to find the missing piece of her health puzzle. With her scientific background and master’s degree in chemistry, Epsy began to investigate the science and physiology of breathing. This led to intensive training and certification in multiple breathing disciplines. Her scientific studies and research have been instrumental in shaping her approach to breathwork.
Epsy received deep training in the Method of Dr. Buteyko, who is widely recognized as the Godfather of functional breathing. This method emphasizes the importance of proper breathing to improve overall health and well-being and was prominently featured in the best-selling book "Breath" by James Nestor.
In addition to her certification in the Dr Buteyko Method, she also gained extensive experience in the intermittent Hypoxic and Hypercapnic training techniques commonly used by athletes to enhance performance. These techniques involve simulating high-altitude conditions to improve respiratory function and endurance.
Her studies of ancient Pranayama and ancient martial art breathing have also played a crucial role in shaping her unique approach. By incorporating these ancient practices with modern scientific research, she developed an innovative and highly effective program for improving respiratory function.
Epsy discovered the power of breathing and its profound effects on her physical and mental health. She retrained her breathing patterns, profoundly changing her life and physiology. Her athletic capabilities as a trail runner have increased, and she has learned to calm her mind to handle the daily challenges of modern life. Her blood pressure is the healthiest it has ever been, her energy level has increased drastically, and she feels the best she ever has.
Epsy believes that breathing is at the root of health, and she wants to share the power of breathing with others.
