Why fixing our breathing is a lot like fixing the bad posture that we have developed over time. Breaking down what physical movements we shouldn’t be doing when we take a deep breath including moving the shoulders up and down. Our body’s incredible anatomy when it comes to the lungs and especially the diaphragm. The importance of breathing through our belly and using our diaphragm rather than from the pecks with forwarding flexion and rounded backs. How rolling forward including our head’s posture will greatly affect our ability to inhale and expand then exhale and squeeze.

BREATHE M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community   Power Quotes From The Show How Poor Breathing Impacts Digestion, The Lower Back And Stress "Our inability to inhale and expand comes from muscular corsets or emotional corsets. If you're bracing your mid-area because you're stressed or think it's good for your body or you're guarding because you're ashamed of your physical appearance, that's actually going to negatively impact your digestion, lower back, and you can't take a deep breath. I understand that inhaling and letting yourself expand can feel weird and vulnerable; however, once you exhale you'll realize just how much muscle is there and how much stronger your core is when you actually inhale, expand, and exhale to contract and narrow your body."   Combating Physical and Mental Fatigue With Breathwork "If you've been sitting at a computer and find yourself so exhausted at the end of the day but you don't know why that's being brain tired because you haven't been moving. You've been sitting for hours and probably not in a good posture and most likely not breathing well. You get energy from your breath because oxygen is cell fuel and if you're not breathing well while sitting, you're going to get tired. Another kind of tired comes from your breathing muscles not being strong enough. You might have good cardio and be active but if your breathing muscles aren't strong, just like any muscle in the body, you're going to get fatigued faster." - Dr. Belisa Vranich     Connecting, Letting Go And Forgiving With The Breath "Letting yourself focus on deep inhales and expand with each breath means you're going to be able to connect better. Being able to exhale and really exhale well means you're going to be able to let go of things and forgive. We all need to be more intuitive, more creative, more flexible, and more forgiving and the breath can give you that." - Dr. Belisa Vranich   Links From Today's Show  Breathing for Warriors Breathe: The Simple, Revolutionary 14-Day Program to Improve Your Mental and Physical Health The Breathing Class The Ash Center for Comprehensive Medicine How to breathe | Belisa Vranich | TEDxManhattanBeach Cured Nutrition Lao Tzu Brian Sabin 290 Dan Brulé 249 Niraj Naik 292 Pavel Stuchlik Bruce Lipton Stan Grof Wim Hof 086 Mark Divine  Dr. Belisa on Cesar 911 Vince Lombardi inspirational quotes The Fighter's Mind: Inside the Mental Game by Sam Sheridan Robert Yang Jill Miller Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes BREATHE M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Dr. Belisa Vranich Facebook Instagram Twitter LinkedIn YouTube About Dr. Belisa Vranich A clinical psychologist and a leading expert in mental health and fitness, Dr. Belisa Vranich is the author of Breathe: The Simple, Revolutionary 14-Day Program to Improve your Mental and Physical Health (St. Martin’s Press/Hay House).

“[People] are empowered, and that’s exactly why I love doing what I do is because you have everything you need to get yourself to feel better... Breathing is something that’s yours, and we’ve forgotten that. We’ve forgotten how powerful it can be. We’ve forgotten how to do it right.” Dr. Belisa Vranich is the Director of Breathing Science at the Ash Center for Comprehensive Medicine in New York City. Dr. Belisa began her career as a clinical psychologist with the intention of having a long-standing therapy practice. As she explored different methods of reducing stress, Dr. Belisa developed an interest in yoga breathing and martial arts-based breathing techniques. The result of her study is The Breathing Class, a practical, science-based method that addresses the physical and psychological problems related to ‘bad breath.’ Dr. Belisa is also a sought-after public speaker and the author of Breathe: The Simple, Revolutionary 14-Day Program to Improve your Mental and Physical Health. A regular guest on platforms like CNN, the Today Show and Good Morning America, Dr. Belisa joins us today to share the right way to breathe, explaining how we start out breathing correctly and later adopt the stress breath that works against our body design. She discusses her science-based approach to improved breathing, the classic studies around breathing muscle strength, and the different breathing strategies she recommends for precision versus power sports.
