How to breathe | Belisa Vranich | TEDxManhattanBeach
Breathing - so essential to life, and yet most of us are doing it wrong! Dr. Belisa Vranich, psychologist and breathing expert, shares some surprising information about breathing and teaches us all how to do it right.
Dr. Belisa Vranich is a clinical psychologist, author, public speaker, and the author of “Breathe: The Simple, Revolutionary 14-Day Program to Improve your Mental and Physical Health”. As founder of The Breathing Class™, Belisa has taught and lectured nationwide on topics related to dysfunctional breathing patterns and stress. The Breathing Class™ addresses both physical and psychological problems related to oxygenation that is out of balance, and teaches people to breathe in an anatomically congruous way that maximizes balanced inhales and exhales. Belisa received her PhD in Psychology from New York University and completed an internship at Bellevue Hospital with specialization in neuropsychology, psychiatric consultation and liaison, and bilingual treatment. An outspoken advocate for women’s health issues and veterans’ rights, Belisa also volunteers with several animal rescue organizations and is an advisory board member of Philosophy’s Hope and Grace Mental Health Campaign.

Breathing is like posture. Most humans take it for granted. But breathing is the most essential process. You can live weeks without food, days without liquid, and only minutes without air. Wake up! Take care of breathing and everything else becomes easier. Great job, Belisa!

Whenever I maintain a good posture it becomes hard for me to breathe. The fact that she said that you can round your shoulders while breathing made me wonder how would we maintain a good posture when a good breathing technique obliges you to round your shoulders. The question that occured to me now is do we even need to be postured parallel to the wall? is it really a good posture? I've seen videos about the importance of a good posture but this and that don't fit for my personal case. I'm eager to some useful info about this matter.

Everyone thinks they "know" how to breathe. Most people think that they know how to run, too. But there are vastly different levels of skill. This woman is clearly an expert, if not a master in the art and science of breathing. True skill requires time and attention. Dr. Belisa Vranich is "a breath of fresh air" in the field of self-optimization. If you are serious about your health, study her work.

This was explained really well and the interaction with the audience, having them experience breathwork is so amazing!
Awesome presentation! As a health professional, I measure HRV which which indicates the health if the nervous system. When I measure a clients HRV before and after the diaphramatic breathing, there is a measured improvement in the nervous system, everytime.
I've seen the first two types of breathing before, but not the 3rd, I must say it really did feel great and I felt a noticeable calm after. Video is nicely done and calming to watch as well, thank you!
I can't tell you how much I adore her book!
She is teaching da best lessons in da world. Practice every day
I have done this change like since 2 years ago and slowly added other breathing details like training holding your breath, or doing the VIM HOF techniques. I love how this liberates your health and lowers stress and inflammation with time
whoa the energy in her voice was great, which proved that her breathing is truely good.
After choosing to watch a dozen videos of the countless TED Talks which delve into the history of or the importance of good breath and breathing, this is the first which shows how. Thanks Ms. Vranich!
Wonderful Video - Thank you so much Dr Vranich for all the work you do helping people
THANKS FOR MAKING BREATHING SO REAL AND MEANINGFUL
What you said was shocking. And true. I didn't breathe properly for over 40 years and I didnt know what is wrong with me. You explained a lot. I agree with that in 100%. Thanks. God bless you.
I have anxiety. Have had it for about 7 years also. Sometimes I even forget to breathe or hold my breath unconsciously. If I eat something that triggers my anxiety I get sick right away. Major stomachache which leads to dizziness, stiffen neck and shoulders/shoulder pain, cold hands and feet etc. After months of cutting out I ate bread and dairy over the weekend and immediately with lack of sleep felt sick. No energy all of above sensations. Short anxiety attacks coming and going fast. Just wanted something to calm my nerves and found this. It helped me relax quite a lot to keep my thoughts away from being anxious.

If you thought the exercise she led you through towards the end of the video was too rushed, you can adjust the Playback Speed to slow it down. For those who don't know how to do that, click the Settings button in the bottom right corner of the video (the gear icon), and from the menu click Playback Speed.

Excellent. Thank you.
I’ve doing lots of different types of breathing over the past couple of years. This technique is very familiar as well as the pattern. Great for relaxing. Kundalini yoga has some wonderful breath exercises. She mentioned a couple: kabalabati and alternate nostril breathing.
She is amazing. This has changed my life. No one will tell you this: no yogi, no doctor, no physiotherapist...no one. But yet 90% of us shallow breathe and that can led to complications in life. If I could I would thank her for sharing this knowledge.
Very entertaining and informative speech. Dr. Belisa is awesome!
This was so helpful 🙏🏽
great explanation....Great service for everyone!! Thank you
I was going great with her until she started the exercise. It went too fast and I couldn't follow it. I agree with what she is saying, but the fast run through on the exercise actually raised my anxiety and I began to breathe shallow again!

My thoughts exactly! If she wanted to help slow everyone down and breathe correctly, she needed to count slowly. For example, when someone is experiencing anxiety and difficulty breathing, you don't make them breathe at YOUR pace. You count to THIER pace and gradually help them slow down. She may be an expert, but presentation needs some work...

Very good points and finally a breathing expert with a practical and science-based approach. I teach wheelchair Tai Ji and use many of Dr Belisa's technics (which can be found her book) with my students. It definitely enriches my practice. Breathing is indeed a natural mechanism. It does seem obvious and we shouldn't feel guilty to take it for granted. But it's far from being silly to teach it. It's also a science, an art and a powerfull tool. We need more experts like Dr Belisa and more videos about breathing! Thanks for sharing your knowledge...

I was taught this from a choir teacher in primary school, 3 singing coaches in career and an opera singer. I also deep cycle breath (belly breath) just as illustrated on every rep when I'm working out in the gym. Out on the initial lift and in when putting the weight down. Maximising the oxygen intake on the most difficult part of the lift, which is putting it down. I've found it difficult to show people how to do this. My singing teachers said push down when inhaling and singing higher pitched notes. It can be difficult at first but has many benefits. It is awesome!

Dr. Belisa is incredible. Not only have I read her book...I've been in her workshops. Her workshops are an "experience" in which have taught me the importance of breathing. Now I'm a horizontal breather without even thinking about it. What's also great is that it's not so esoteric, it's scientifically based. It can only help. Especially for those who practice meditation, praying, in a stressful situation. It absolutely works. Hands down. I know from experience. When I'm going through stress overload, it helps every time. Especially when I'm working - many on my computer - I do her excercises while sitting at my desk. I recommend reading her book and trying it for yourself. And trust me, I'm a very skeptical person, but actually doing these excercises - it's changed me. I find I have more endurance and I'm not as tired as I used to be. I went from drinking 5-7 cups of coffee a day to just one. All I can say is it works for me. It's funny on how I see my belly breathing without even thinking about it. :).
