Praise for BREATHE: "Breathe was a game changer for me and after
only a short time of doing the exercises I was considerably
improved. Not only is Dr. Belisa extremely knowledgeable about her
subject, but her intuitive sense and sincere care shine through on

I feel very fortunate to have found her."--Jen Widerstrom, trainer,
The Biggest Loser "The key to staying calm is your breathing. In
this book, Dr. Belisa teaches us to breathe in a way that
immediately calms us, and hence everyone around us. Simple,
practical and extremely effective."--Cesar Millan, dog behaviorist
and bestselling author "Clear, simple, powerful - in her new book
Dr. Belisa shows why everything starts with the breath, and how to
improve your breathing for mental and physical health, energy and
maximum performance. The ideas in this book -- and Dr. Belisa's

function, the breath!"--Patrick McKeown, author of The Oxygen
Advantage "Breathe is basic training for the breath. Dr. Belisa
Vranich's book is a must read for anyone serious about taking
control back of their health through the free medicine of
breathing. I personally use these principles with my SEALFIT
athletes and have seen profound results."--Mark Divine, New York
Times bestselling author
of 8 Weeks to SEALFIT, The Way of the SEAL, and Unbeatable Mind,
Founder of SEALFIT "Dr. Vranich has managed to lay out a
convincing, accessible and friendly guide to making friends with
your breath. This is the book to give to someone who suffers from
stress, headaches, sleeplessness, or any of the multitude of modern
day ills, yet hasn't made the connection between these conditions
and something very simple: poor breathing patterns. Every single
cell in the human body requires oxygen to create energy--learning
to breathe more effectively may be the best thing you ever do for
improving your health."--Donna Farhi, author of The Breathing Book
"Dr. Belisa Vranich is the real deal. Her book, Breathe, and
breathing workshops are a must for everyone looking to optimize
their health and life!"--Michael Galitzer M.D., author of
Outstanding Health "We are living at a time when we are so caught
up in 'doing things' and trying to keep up with the rapid
escalation of information and media that we often forget to stay
connected to that which is most essential -
BREATHING. Rudolf Steiner informs us that the average person
breathes 25,900 times daily. How we breathe has a radical influence
on the balance of our autonomic nervous system, our acid/alkaline
balance, our digestion and elimination, and our posture and the
muscles themselves. Dr. Belisa Vranich has put together a simple,
effective program to help anyone learn to breathe effectively,
which is an essential first step to body-mind integration."--Paul
Chek, Holistic Health Practitioner, Founder, C.H.E.K Institute
"Breathe expertly combines relevant science, repeated inspiration
and pinpoint guidance to propel readers to develop a fundamental
tool to restore their health: a regular breathing practice. With
this book, Dr. Belisa Vranich lays out in plain English -- and
wonderful humor -- how to reclaim your vitality and reboot your
body by doing something we all forgot how to do long ago --
breathe!"--Anthony J. Lyon, MD, Medical Director, The Ash Center,
NYC "I was smiling - and breathing! - as I read Dr. Belisa's
wonderful book, Breathe. With a great sense of humor, and an even
greater understanding of her craft, she reminds us how breathing is
our birthright, despite its neglect by modern (wo)man. She further
connects us to our breath with relevant hows and whys, and empowers
us to reclaim respiration with practical exercises. A full, deep
breath benefits us on so many levels; I frequently recommend breath
work to patients and am delighted to now be able to recommend this
book." -- Stephanie Marango, MD, RYT, founder of i.m.body, author
of Your Body and The Stars "Over the last few years, it's been
refreshing to see some individuals in the fitness industry shedding
light on the importance of proper breathing and the benefits it has
on one's overall well being. BREATHE differentiates itself from the
pack in its thorough explanation of proper body mechanics. I've had
the fortunate experience of working and studying with Dr. Belisa,
and as a result have had tremendous success with my own training as
a martial artist, fitness enthusiast, and firefighter. I have also
applied her methods in training clients, students, and probationary
firefighters in understanding the proper breathing techniques,
which has led to their own success. BREATHE will teach the beginner
and the elite athlete alike how to take the necessary steps in an
easy-to-understand system to feeling and looking better."--Joe
March, Firefighter, NASM CPT CES MMASC, BJJ blackbelt "Dr. Belisa
Vranich draws on her years of clinical knowledge, skills, and
insights to provide critical information in a direct way. Breathe
equips us with essential and innovative tools that allow us to
rejuvenate our physical and mental well-being."--Dr. Adeyinka M.
Akinsulure-Smith, Senior Supervising Psychologist at the
Bellevue/NYU Program for Survivors of Torture and Associate
Professor at the City College of New York and The Graduate Center,
City University of New York "The concept of breathing awareness may
strike some readers as far-fetched and unsubstantiated by scholarly
research, but Vranich will win them over with her detailed
descriptions of strenuous-sounding but practical exercises to
expand lung capacity and improve diaphragm strength. For those
suffering from shortness of breath or ailments related to breathing
or core strength, this work and its accompanying exercises depict
an appealing and methodical program for improvement."--Publishers
