3 breathing exercises for better health with James Nestor | BBC Maestro

Grazie mille è stato utilissimo ❤

Foi muito bom!

Isn't he the Martha's vineyard diet idiot?

Breathing in for 7 counts was tough, at moat i managed 4.

Too much talking no action

❤❤❤❤❤❤

This is wonderful - I'm a Kundalini and Hatha Yoga Teacher and love doing very advanced breathing exercises as I'm also a singer with good lung capacity but these exercises would be good for most of my students who seem to just go into some kind of frozen place when we attempt to just sit and focus on the breath. Love the way you explained the first one - and how people can just simplify to start with and make it shorter.

Is there any way to get a 10-20min Version of the Piano? It adds sth very special and there is nothing comparable out there

Come join me with some amazing breathwork meditations to help you improve the quality of your life.🙏🙏

Ya'll need to write a cheque to India every time you do these exercises :D

Hi! I'm from Việt Nam

It amazes me that the vast majority of information we learn during school education is pretty useless information for us in life yet as far as I’m aware young people are still not taught the importance of breathing techniques. 70% of people breathe incorrectly and we wonder why so many of us are stressed or ill. How long a species of animal lives for on average depends on their speed of breathing so it’s not rocket science as to the importance of it.

Anyone else here who feels like coherent breathing 6-6 is way too fast?? I want to exhale for much longer. To me breathing in for 6 seconds and breathing out for 6 seconds doesnt feel relaxing and its a very fast pattern. I am a singer and I can naturally breathe out for much longer ...

I can easily take two breathes a minute. Inhale for 5 or so, hold the inhale for 5 or so, exhale for ten or so, hold the exhale for ten or so and repeat. I dont come close to running out of air. Is this good to do or?

I'm trying my hardest to get the message out there about breathing techniques, even sending video's to many people who i know would benefit greaty, within seconds/minutes they could see a light BUT, so frustratingly they very rarely take the advice. Even citing they haven't time???? Haven't time to breath now, people are stupid.

Thank you for sharing this. It actually helps ❤

The piano is very bothersome.

Amazing, thanks 🙏

Thank you so much ❤❤❤

What he doesn't says is that they get it from yoga 😅

I don't get it why is it always so hard for me, i tried many breathing exercises and everytime i get confused and start suffocating it really stresses me out even if i was calm before

Do these existed but longer guided really like James nestor and this guy on piano more then the other guided I’ve heard I like how he plays a note every second for the coherent

Try doing this with looking at different directions and holding your gaze without moving your head ( vagus nerve release) ( looks as left or up or right as you can as your eyes allow , good for eye muscle tension as well)

Excellent James I'm getting great release by doing it .but loose the piano 😅

His book was one of the best I’ve ever read Highly Recommend 💯

"Sounds a little perverted; that's ok." 😄

I must be missing something - I came here to learn how to improve my breathing and he doesn't even tell me whether I should breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth or just using the nose so I'm none the wiser and surely, that is where any instructor would start with the basics before getting a pianist in. I'll go look elsewhere.

Oh man, you talk too much while the man’s playing the piano, I can’t hear the beat to breathe with it. AND I totally love your book.

I'm currently reading Breath and have been really intrigued by the 5.5s inhale, 5.5s exhale, which gives 5.5 breaths/minute (Among many things. The whole book is fascinating). As a musician myself, I did the math that this is just 44bpm in 4/4 time, which means breath in for 4 beats, and then out for four beats at the tempo of 44bpm. And doing that with my metronome, lead me to recognize that this lines up really well with John Mayer's Gravity. Gravity is in 6/8. If you breath in for two bars (the G chord) and then exhale for two bars (the C chord), you're getting the 5.5 breaths/minute. At least with the studio version from the Continuum album.

Am I suppose to exhale through my nose or mouth ? on these breathing techniques? I love his book it's packed with so much great breathing techniques. I'm hooked

I have trouble breathing out thru my nose help please

My breath out thru my nose is too short how do I lengthen it Ican bteath out thru my mouth for a count of 8

I am breathing through my nostrils and I am. Feeling much better

musicians will take a gig when there is a gig....

how must someone with emphysema BREATHE?

can any body suggest breathing exercise for sleep apnea.

Six minute abs were great, but 5 minute abs ruled.

Nobody wants Prog Rock,? Just try listen " Impressioni di Settembre" by PFM

Very new technic of breathing with violence. Thanks James Nestor. ❤❤❤❤❤

This is what public service should be. Not misleading politics or misleading regarding immigration problems

Not sure whether if i should exhale out though the nose or mouth?

Lucky I found this video. Very good exercises, so I can breathe even slower than I used to.

Anyone know if “Mark” has a Spotify playlist for coherent breathing? This is much better than what I find there.

I think i need more control in breathing out through my nose. I try to breathe slowly in, time he reaches 4 I am completely in and holding. With exhaling, I completely exhaled by round 4.
Any advice on how to control the breathing during the exercises.

James Nestor and wim hof have Been invaluable in my way of changing my breathing and my life

So lucky to find out this wonderful video. I used to do mouth breathe. Now, I am able to breathe properly. Watching this video everyday, and do the exercise by following it. Life saver. Thanks so much!

Q: In and out slow breathing. In thru the nose nose? Out thru the mouth? Is this right? Tell me how please.
