Dysfunctional breathing (DB) is a respiratory condition characterized by irregular breathing rates and patterns that occur either in the absence of disease or as a result of a chronic illness disease.  Ed Harrold's Breath AS Medicine breath coach training helps healthcare, health & wellness coaches, exercise & fitness professionals, mental health practitioners gain the knowledge necessary to improve DB not only in client health but also, exercise performance.

 

Therapeutic nasal breathing is arguably the most comprehensive approach we have to improving our overall health and well-being.  To appreciate the role of functional breathing as a lifestyle medicine tool, it’s important to understand that how we breathe is influencing our biomechanics, biochemical, physiological and psychological states of being.

 

Ed Harrold's Breath AS Medicine Breathwork Course is a comprehensive training on the art, science and application of therapeutic yoga breathing.  No matter whether you are a health & wellness coach, fitness or personal trainer, dental or sleep medicine professional, mental health professional, physical therapist, healthcare provider or in the field of leadership coaching, arming yourself with a breakwork certification is a necessary strategy in today's world of dysfunctional breathing.

​

YES!  All of these modalities are improved by the length, depth and pacing of our breathing.  Specifically, nasal dominance.
