Stuart Sandeman's Biography

Stuart Sandeman is a Sunday Times bestselling author, BBC Radio 1 host, and a leading expert in breathwork, helping individuals and organisations unlock better performance, resilience, and wellbeing through the power of breath. His dynamic Breath Means Business sessions are designed and adapted for corporate audiences, whether in-person or virtual. Suitable for audiences of all sizes, these sessions provide practical techniques that can be applied immediately to improve focus, reduce stress, and support high performance, with formats ranging from keynote experiences to interactive workshops and Q&As.

Stuart’s life was transformed by breathwork after the loss of his girlfriend to cancer. He discovered that by following a connected pattern of breathing, his grief faded, his stress and anxiety diminished, and energy levels increased. He has since made it his mission to share his methods with the world. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and coaching, Stuart translates breathwork into practical, accessible tools that support stress management, emotional regulation, and sustained focus, critical skills for today’s high-pressure working environments. His approach enables people at all levels to regain control of their mental and physical state, enhancing both personal wellbeing and professional performance.

Stuart is the creator of the BBC Radio 1 Decompression Session, where he combines music and breathwork to help audiences reset and recharge. He is also the author of Breathe In, Breathe Out and the creator of the Breathpod app, bringing guided breathwork and music together in an innovative digital format. Stuart is also a Nike global breathwork trainer and recently worked with the England football team to aid their recovery during the 2024 Euros.
