Fitness February Breathwork Technique This is for the more ADVANCED nasal breathers out there ... see how I mix up 3 different techniques in this sequence for a cardiovascular workout. You can learn all about my breath training philosophy in fitness and exercise performance thru my 15-hr Breath AS Medicine Training. Ed Harrold’s Breath AS Medicine breath coach training focuses on nasal dominance in respiratory muscle training by applying the principles and philosophy of yoga breathing (or pranayama) as inspiratory and expiratory breath regulation training. In this 15-Hour Breath Training, we’ll learn the science of controlling the breath for various physiologic and psychological outcomes overlooked in current fitness & athletic training. ​ Give your clients a cardiovascular, flexibility, strength & meditation-in-motion experience all in one training session. By incorporating nasal breathing techniques and strategies, we reduce over-breathing, increase nitric oxide, breathe to improve heart rate variability and support the body's natural gifts rather than robbing it of vital energy. With nasal breathing, we improve biomechanics, biochemistry, physiology AND psychological states of being. ​ Learn the art, science & application of breath training to improve health, fitness and exercise performance. Appropriate for personal trainers, fitness professionals, coaches, athletes, physical therapists and "gym rats". https://www.edharrold.com/breath-as-medicine-fitness-e-learni Follow Me Instagram @Ed_Harrold LinkedIn @ EdHarroldGoBeGreat ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqqaP7ME7FI

Whereas the neurophysiology of respiration has traditionally focused on automatic brainstem processes, higher brain mechanisms underlying the cognitive aspects of breathing are gaining increasing interest. Therapeutic techniques have used conscious control and awareness of breathing for millennia with little understanding of the mechanisms underlying their efficacy. We will discuss recent results from our lab using direct intracranial recordings in human patients and simultaneous respiratory measurements. Our data shows that respiration modulates brain excitability of multiple cortical and limbic areas above the brainstem. It also highlights the importance of breathwork to change the way our brains process information from the outside world as well as from the inner one (internal sensations).

About Dr. Jose Herrero Born in Spain, Dr. Jose Herrero studied psychology as an undergraduate. He then moved to the UK to obtain his PhD in monkey electrophysiology, focusing on processes related to attention and memory, as well as neuromodulation. In April 2012 Dr. Herrero moved to NY to attend Columbia University where he studied layer dependent attention effects. In April 2015 he moved to the Feinstein institute to work with epileptic patients implanted with intracranial electrodes on processes related to breathing control, meditation, and neurostimulation.
