Use these quick tips to assess your breathing and learn how to breathe deeper and more optimally for enhanced health, performance, sleep, and longevity.
I've been binge watching your videos and am grateful for how useful your videos have been! Wondering if you could upload a shoulder or upper body warm up routine? Cheers!
Are there different applications for the different breathing techniques? For example, how do the Ocean/Ujayii results compare with Andrew Weils' 4-7-8 step breath, Wim Hof, Holotropic, Spire.io, Buteyko, Stanislav Grof, Eyerman, Mark Divine Warrior/ Square Box / Combat Breathing, apnea Breathing, Dr. Mickra Hamilton, Niraj Soma Breathing, Breath of Fire (Agni Pran/KAPALABHATI), nasal, circular, etc? Or just between the hyperventilation methods (Wim Hof, Holotropic) and the slow nose breathing (Oxygen Advantage), where they say rising CO2 levels, signals the body to breath.. and simultaneously CO2 is needed by hemoglobin to release its oxygen to the cells. According to Christian Bohr, by increasing CO2 in the body, this causes more Hydrogen Ions in the blood (blood acidity goes up), leading to the release of oxygen by the hemoglobin into tissue/Vasodilation. So Wim Hof's protocol of 30 deep breaths, which depletes CO2 (and O2) can help with autoimmune disorders and trains you to go longer without breathing, it does not improve your VO2 max. On the other hand, the Oxygen Advantage light nasal breathing (air-hunger) protocol.. short breath in, long (parasympathetic) relaxed breath out... increases CO2 while maintaining just enough O2 to be in a relaxed state (no sympathetic response). Apparently, this improves the muscles' buffer capacity (hydrogen accepting) which extends the time it takes to build lactic acid and therefore improve physical performance. Would love to get your take, or any notable differences and applications between any of the many breathing protocols!
Absolutely! You are right on with most of this. Breathing techniques are like exercises and in that sense the adaptations from a squat will greatly depend on it's application. The type of person, time of day, mechanics, physiology, intention will all change the usage. The goal is to understand the principles and then you can figure out how to apply the right tool for every situation. This is most of what we teach at XPT
Feeling like I have got the secret of the universe

the subtitles say 10 purposeful "breasts" haha
Love this! Thank you 😊
