The one tool you always have
Angelina Saunders is a breathwork teacher in Australia who, together with her partner Shane Saunders, helps people use the simplest longevity tool there is: the breath. Marek and Aleksander filmed a breathwork session with them in January 2024 — part of the Australian leg of the quest.
Breath sits right in Longevity Basics on the Longevity Map, alongside a daily practice Marek now swears by: five to ten minutes of box breathing. It costs nothing, needs no equipment, and works anywhere — a few slow, structured breaths pull you out of stress, steady the nervous system and sharpen focus. Angelina and Shane teach it as a skill you build, not a trick you try once.
Theirs is one of the family pairs the quest kept meeting — two people doing the work together, which is part of why the interview felt like family too. On the Map, Angelina anchors the point that resilience can be trained, one breath at a time.
