Ya Lucas! another great video. I teach in HK Pure Yoga and have studied with Robin Rothenberg and Patrick and have been teaching functional breathing for many years in my Asana classes. I love how your videos are so educational but in a very easy way to understand. Thanks so much for sharing.
I just did the breathing exercises. I thank you for those and thank you for dispelling some of the issues about blood oxygen so thank you so much. I am an elderly lady 80 years old and I wanna stay as healthy as I possibly can for the rest of my life so I can take good care of my loving husband.

good ideas, i feel stimulated to go back to my 50+ exercises I learned for my yoga-teaching classes and Wim Hof. I do everything a bit, but I have to keep on diving into it and doing it seriously. Confessing it here will help, now I promised to do it
This was so very interesting. I did similar breathing exercises to see if it improve my overall V02 max score. I had read prior to my experiment that you could only improve your V02 max score by doing H.I.I.T training of 4 minutes maximum heart rate with 4 minutes recovery 1-3 times a week. At the time in addition to the breathing exercises I was only doing resistance training 2-3 times a week and Low Intensity steady state cardio 2-3 times a week, no H.I.I.T cardio whatsoever. Much to my surprise a month of consistent daily breathing exercises whenever I could fit them in, shot my maximum v02 max score 8-10 points and the greatest increase I had ever seen. When I experimented with H.I.I.T months ago consistently it didn’t move my V02 max score up at all and actually decreased it to my shock. When I stopped the breathing exercises, my V02 Max Score nose dived back down
I love doing breathing exercises, 10-15 deep breaths in a row then hold for about 10 seconds and then completely exhale and hold for 60-90 seconds feels very nice
Buteyko breathing was a life saver for me. Got me off an inhaler. Then I learned some other things. But from years of severe lung damage and horrible breathing doing any of these exercises is very difficult. I do practice tho. Breathing with my mouth is a no no for me; but I do practice with my nose. I use the pads of my fingers to block air and I find that helps.
Surprise that a yoga instructor is advising mouth-breathing versus nose breathing😳😳. Oh well, if it works that’s great. Nasal breathing naturally filters (ie resistance) oxygen going into the lungs. This filters out many toxins. Mouth breathing… no resistance and opens the floodgates to all the impurities in the air. Good luck all👍
My Garmin watch has similar feature. It is basically 4, 4, 4, 4 - breathe in, hold, breathe out, hold, then repeat. Is is done for a total of about 20 breath cycles.I am considering giving it a more serious try as I thing I struggle with unconsciously holding my breath while sitting at the desk etc. Thank you for putting in an effort and uploading this video.
Your perspective is gold. Balance is the key. I was looking to optimize my breathing and just couldn't do fire breathing and other methods. Much gratitude for your teaching!
Thank you for sharing this excellent information on breathing. I am a yoga instructor, and I'm always trying to enhance my understanding of breath practices. Especially informative for me were your explanation of the Bohrs effect and the observation that most people are over-breathing.
I've done the Wim HOf method for 3 ears and it works quite well. But I am also experimenting with other breathing methods that are more specific to vagus stimulation and are simpler and shorter. Your techniques are also effective.
Simply very informative along very good practical showings I always loved Lucas’s teaching methods which is simple to understand and implement it! Thanks Lucas
In addition to stretching the front, also need to do corrective exercises to strengthen the middle of the back that pulls the shoulders back, else the stretching won’t help as much. The muscles never get worked and always get stretched when on electronic devices all day. Resistance band pull aparts with the thumbs pointing out, elbows in shoulders in external rotation is one. Facepulls with resistance band around a pole face level, again pull with thumbs back and hand go back with elbows getting those muscles. Not looking for “gains” or PRs, just consistent corrective exercises. You will feel how weak it is.
This is the best video on this subject ! Thank you ! From a lung damage, due to severe Covid illness. My normal O2 levels are around 84-90, but with the slightest walk of 50-70 paces, my O2 drops to around 70-75 levels, with feelings of extreme exhaustment and loss of breath. Please advise. I don't want to go to hospital again !
Co2 i totally forgot about you !!! Makes so much sense especially with the example of the overfilled gas tank!! It exactly felt like that when i am over breathing in and completely forgot about balancing my exhalations ! Thanks for this one man!!
This was such a helpful video. Thank you! I’m so glad to have found you. As I skimmed through your older videos, the aerial yoga intrigued me! I’d love to purchase it, but was wondering if it would be suitable for those who have scoliosis & osteopenia/ osteoporosis. I’d really appreciate your thoughts. Thanks again and I look forward to watching your future videos! 😍
Great to hear that you found the video helpful! When it comes to practicing aerial yoga with scoliosis and osteopenia/osteoporosis, it's important to consult with your doctor or healthcare professional. They can provide personalized guidance and let you know if any modifications or precautions are necessary.
Great video, thanks. I have a serious back problem with radiculopathy, numbness & leg weakness that prevents me from attempting exercise #2. Is there a variation on this that can be done seated to strengthen the upper back? Love your work, thanks again.
I know this may sounds crazy but when I get panic attacks and feel my hands starting to numb I hold my breathe for up to a minute and I can feel my blood pressure increasing and anxiety going away. I do believe I’m increasing my carbon dioxide by breathe holds.
Dear Sir, many thanks for the idea of balancing O with CO2s.The dizziness due to hyperventilation has always been a paradox to me. Also thanks for the exercises, but I would be so critical to Yoga. It has lots of advantages, e.g. breathing with half of the nose shut does pose a resistance for the diaphragm training? And the rear part of the thorac is not to be expanded? Paul, 68, retired teacher
Thank you. It really helped me. Maybe you can do sometimes video of opening to have syncronicities in life and intuition. I have heard that left nostril breathing is for intuition but you are yogi and maybe know other breathing practices? Maybe how to see vivid dreams.. I just wonder because i have lost my syncronicities in middle age. Nothing happens like I was more younger. Maybe too much knowledge in the left brain.. who knows.
I’m glad for all your information about breathing exercises. Your explanation is excellent, I can easily understand more about it. Thank you 4 sharing it. I’m new subs.
This video has been so life changing. I bought This device that you have in the video. I had the idea of training daily, but the manual saus I can only use it for 29 days. Can you help me with that? I have been batteling with getting out of breath when excersizing and have a long COVID diagnosis.
When you hyperventilate you blow off CO2 leading to something called respiratory alkalosis... it raises your bodies Ph which is something rigidly controlled by your body. Your body needs to slow your ventilation to normalize your CO2 and pH. So if you hyperventilate excessively you will pass out. Consequently, your respiratory rate and minute ventilation will slow down, CO2 will normalize along with your pH.
Also, if you have metabolic acidosis, your body will try to correct the ph balance by signaling to your brain to hyperventilate (leading to respiratory alkalosis)
I would say they are. I have COPD & asthma and I'm going to add these to my breathing exercise regiment too. There's another device that is used to strengthen lungs as well...
I've done the breathing before, down to less than 3 respirations per minute, using full inhale/exhale with holding at the top and the bottom. But I'm not sure if it's good for my system. I enjoy it and feel fine. But, I have advanced Cystic Fibrosis with only 22% of expected FEV1 for my age. [Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second] And, I've been told I have elevated blood gas - CO². Can you say for sure this practice will raise my CO² level ? I'm hoping it actually moderates it.
Thanks for this Lucas I've been suffering with Long Covid symptoms for 3 years now and I'm always looking for anything that can help ease my pain. I would love to know what you'd suggest for a full day schedule of breathing and exercises. Trying to sleep is a Nightmare, It would be great to hear your ideas for a before bed routine and even optimal sleeping positions. If you ever do classes in Los Angeles, I would like to attend one.
Sorry to hear, we've been covering / researching long COVID On teh podcast recently. re: full day. Less is more, consistency is key. Our protocol is morning / afternoon / evening practices with about 15 min total (but really more like 10 min total once you're proficient).
Lucas this is for you What I mean by less is more? You mean your triangles method of 4x4x4 should not be part of one’s routine breathing habits only for three times a day for total of 10 or 15 minutes ? Pls elaborate
Love your videos! just a question about the breathing. I started Jui Jitsu about a year ago. Had a terrible time with my breathing. I was told I need to become a nose breather, especially when I inhale. I've been working on this quite a bit so wasn't sure this breathing technique, or the breathing devices would help me. It looks like this exercise might get me back into mouth breathing? What are your thoughts on this? Thanks again for all your videos!
Thank you for this video. I like the laying down exercise. Is there a version of this exercise that people could do that have difficulty getting down to and up from the floor? Thank you again much appreciated.
You can do it sitting comfortably inclined on your sofa or maybe you can do these breathing before you go to sleep so you don't need to stand up after :)

Interesting. I just recently started reading "The Oxygen Advantage" by Patrick McKeown. At first I thought this was bogus, but it does make sense in light of the fact that our 02 sat is indeed typically 95-100%. But I have also been reading other "breathers" who advocate the deep forceful breathing, specifically for weight loss -- Oxycise, Be A Loser, Jumpstart Your Metabolism. They claim remarkable success and have many, many followers with remarkable results. Not sure where the disconnect is. Maybe you know.
There's no necessary disconnect between these different approaches to breathing. People have varying preferences and respond differently to different techniques. "The Oxygen Advantage" by Patrick McKeown focuses on improving overall health and athletic performance through specific breathing techniques. On the other hand, programs like Oxycise, Be A Loser, and Jumpstart Your Metabolism may have different goals, such as weight loss. The effectiveness of these methods can vary from person to person. It's essential to choose the approach that aligns with your specific goals and feels right for you. - YB Team
Great video. I carry a lot of tension from anxiety. These exercises help me relax better. I was wondering about the resistance breathing, if you do it the opposite. Meaning, if I breath in for 4 through the nose and have resistance on the outbreath instead, does it do the same for the diaphragm or do you workout something else here? Thanks :)
Resistance breathing can be a great way to strengthen your respiratory muscles and improve lung capacity. While the traditional method involves resistance on the inhale, you can also experiment with resistance on the exhale. This can still engage the diaphragm and provide a workout for your breathing muscles. Give it a try and see how it feels for you! If you'd like more information on breathing exercises, check out this article: Breathing Exercises for Pain Relief. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Hi lucas lazy breather lower stomach dosnt move unless concentrating. Actualy reading a book wide awake stopped breathing altoghter scary mate. Going to sleep clinic maye. Youve helped mate. Dont know if going to brain crashed twice due to blackouts mate.
I’m having difficulty breathing as I have 25 % of (heart falier) heart function. My question is can I improve my breathing and my heart function?. Please tell me where to get this machine you use to do the excercise. If you sale I want to get one. Thanks so much your information is a treasure. Many blessings ❤
Great content and so well presented thank you .What do you think about 5 sec inhale 5 sec exhale and 5 sec hold "empty" its feel very adaptogenic and energising
The glaring issue with utilizing these breath resistance contraptions is that they all bypass the nose during inhalation. Mouth breathing is becoming recognized as one of the worst culprits leading to poor health.
Hello Rich - this is a few minutes of your day and really the only practical way to add resistance to your diaphragm is through your mouth. But yes, nose breathing is ideal during non-exercise times / sleep / etc.

Surprise that a yoga instructor is advising mouth-breathing versus nose breathing😳😳. Oh well, if it works that’s great. Nasal breathing naturally filters (ie resistance) oxygen going into the lungs. This filters out many toxins. Mouth breathing… no resistance and opens the floodgates to all the impurities in the air. Good luck all👍
Excellent sound editing!
Also, great, clear explanation. Thank you!
100% correct!
All life depends on Air and water.
Excellent , just completed it, will do this everyday to help my Long Covid
Hope it helps!
Hope it helps for you Timmy
Get better 💯 Timmy.❤️😊
I have long covid, too. But don't call it "your" long covid. Don't take ownership of it. Best of luck, my friend!
My Garmin watch has similar feature. It is basically 4, 4, 4, 4 - breathe in, hold, breathe out, hold, then repeat. Is is done for a total of about 20 breath cycles.I am considering giving it a more serious try as I thing I struggle with unconsciously holding my breath while sitting at the desk etc. Thank you for putting in an effort and uploading this video.
4-4-4-4 is called yogic breathing. It is advance stage.
From India 🎉
Your perspective is gold. Balance is the key. I was looking to optimize my breathing and just couldn't do fire breathing and other methods. Much gratitude for your teaching!
Thanks for the support, Maritza!

Thank you for sharing this excellent information on breathing. I am a yoga instructor, and I'm always trying to enhance my understanding of breath practices. Especially informative for me were your explanation of the Bohrs effect and the observation that most people are over-breathing.
I've done the Wim HOf method for 3 ears and it works quite well. But I am also experimenting with other breathing methods that are more specific to vagus stimulation and are simpler and shorter. Your techniques are also effective.
Glad it helped @user-kz5cw2gj3w!

I never thought about challenging myself to breathe less per minute, this is interesting. Thank you for the insight :D
Glad it was helpful!

I always loved Lucas’s teaching methods which is simple to understand and implement it!
Thanks Lucas
Thanks Jay!
In addition to stretching the front, also need to do corrective exercises to strengthen the middle of the back that pulls the shoulders back, else the stretching won’t help as much.
The muscles never get worked and always get stretched when on electronic devices all day.
Resistance band pull aparts with the thumbs pointing out, elbows in shoulders in external rotation is one. Facepulls with resistance band around a pole face level, again pull with thumbs back and hand go back with elbows getting those muscles.
Not looking for “gains” or PRs, just consistent corrective exercises. You will feel how weak it is.
Very interesting! Do you have clips/pictures that can show your resistance band exercise?
Thanks a lot. The breathing exercise helps my anxiety disorder.
Thank you for this lesson. My right shoulder just wasn't cooperating with me. I hope I still got some benefits.
Thank you for explaining this in a very simple way and avoid medical jargon overload 😊

This is the best video on this subject ! Thank you ! From a lung damage, due to severe Covid illness. My normal O2 levels are around 84-90, but with the slightest walk of 50-70 paces, my O2 drops to around 70-75 levels, with feelings of extreme exhaustment and loss of breath. Please advise. I don't want to go to hospital again !
Thank you for the support!

Love this, spot on. The biggest mistake every pranayama teacher makes
Co2 i totally forgot about you !!! Makes so much sense especially with the example of the overfilled gas tank!! It exactly felt like that when i am over breathing in and completely forgot about balancing my exhalations ! Thanks for this one man!!
Hope it helps, Yousef!
This was such a helpful video. Thank you! I’m so glad to have found you. As I skimmed through your
older videos, the aerial yoga intrigued me! I’d love to purchase it, but was wondering if it would be suitable for those who have scoliosis & osteopenia/ osteoporosis. I’d really appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks again and I look forward to watching your future videos! 😍
is he breathing with his chest?
Great to hear that you found the video helpful! When it comes to practicing aerial yoga with scoliosis and osteopenia/osteoporosis, it's important to consult with your doctor or healthcare professional. They can provide personalized guidance and let you know if any modifications or precautions are necessary.
Great video, thanks. I have a serious back problem with radiculopathy, numbness & leg weakness that prevents me from attempting exercise #2. Is there a variation on this that can be done seated to strengthen the upper back? Love your work, thanks again.

without any extra drama . a good lesson. but took some extra time. overall did well. THANKS
I know this may sounds crazy but when I get panic attacks and feel my hands starting to numb I hold my breathe for up to a minute and I can feel my blood pressure increasing and anxiety going away. I do believe I’m increasing my carbon dioxide by breathe holds.

Hi Nasser - thanks or posting, time stamps always in description if you want to jump ahead.
Dear Sir, many thanks for the idea of balancing O with CO2s.The dizziness due to hyperventilation has always been a paradox to me. Also thanks for the exercises, but I would be so critical to Yoga. It has lots of advantages, e.g. breathing with half of the nose shut does pose a resistance for the diaphragm training? And the rear part of the thorac is not to be expanded? Paul, 68, retired teacher
Thank you. It really helped me. Maybe you can do sometimes video of opening to have syncronicities in life and intuition. I have heard that left nostril breathing is for intuition but you are yogi and maybe know other breathing practices? Maybe how to see vivid dreams.. I just wonder because i have lost my syncronicities in middle age. Nothing happens like I was more younger. Maybe too much knowledge in the left brain.. who knows.
Thanks bro. The season is changing here, I know I'm gonna have big problems so I'll try to have some preparations done before it's too late.
You're most welcome! Best of luck with your preparations.

where can I buy that deep breathing exerciser? Amazon has something similar, but I would prefer the same one that is in your video
Hi James - cheap ones from Amazon are great. I have all kinds, the expensive ones are no better than cheap....
This video has been so life changing. I bought This device that you have in the video. I had the idea of training daily, but the manual saus I can only use it for 29 days. Can you help me with that? I have been batteling with getting out of breath when excersizing and have a long COVID diagnosis.
Hi, is the second bar exercise the same breathing as the first - inhale through the mouth - exhale through the nose, or is it different?
2nd exercise you breathes thru nose
Thank you 🙏
@@33Jenesisinhale and exhale thru the nose in the second exercise?
I tried this and i have to say that was amazing 😂.
Very good for stomach muscles and your intestine ❤
When you hyperventilate you blow off CO2 leading to something called respiratory alkalosis... it raises your bodies Ph which is something rigidly controlled by your body. Your body needs to slow your ventilation to normalize your CO2 and pH. So if you hyperventilate excessively you will pass out. Consequently, your respiratory rate and minute ventilation will slow down, CO2 will normalize along with your pH.
Also, if you have metabolic acidosis, your body will try to correct the ph balance by signaling to your brain to hyperventilate (leading to respiratory alkalosis)
Hi Lucas, this is very good. But you mentioned about COPD, Asthma, you mean this exercise is not for those people with the mentioned symptoms?
I would say they are. I have COPD & asthma and I'm going to add these to my breathing exercise regiment too. There's another device that is used to strengthen lungs as well...
I've done the breathing before, down to less than 3 respirations per minute, using full inhale/exhale with holding at the top and the bottom. But I'm not sure if it's good for my system. I enjoy it and feel fine.
But, I have advanced Cystic Fibrosis with only 22% of expected FEV1 for my age.
[Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second] And, I've been told I have elevated blood gas - CO².
Can you say for sure this practice will raise my CO² level ? I'm hoping it actually moderates it.
Better seek advice from a medical professional to be safe and sure
謝謝！
Thanks so much for the support!
Thanks for this Lucas
I've been suffering with Long Covid symptoms for 3 years now and I'm always looking for anything that can help ease my pain.
I would love to know what you'd suggest for a full day schedule of breathing and exercises.
Trying to sleep is a Nightmare, It would be great to hear your ideas for a before bed routine and even optimal sleeping positions.
If you ever do classes in Los Angeles, I would like to attend one.
Sorry to hear, we've been covering / researching long COVID On teh podcast recently. re: full day. Less is more, consistency is key. Our protocol is morning / afternoon / evening practices with about 15 min total (but really more like 10 min total once you're proficient).
@@YOGABODY.Official Thank you
Lucas this is for you
What I mean by less is more?
You mean your triangles method of 4x4x4 should not be part of one’s routine breathing habits only for three times a day for total of 10 or 15 minutes ?
Pls elaborate
Love your videos! just a question about the breathing. I started Jui Jitsu about a year ago. Had a terrible time with my breathing. I was told I need to become a nose breather, especially when I inhale. I've been working on this quite a bit so wasn't sure this breathing technique, or the breathing devices would help me. It looks like this exercise might get me back into mouth breathing? What are your thoughts on this? Thanks again for all your videos!
Thanks for these two exercises keep up the great work ❤
Thanks Jose!
Thank you for this video. I like the laying down exercise. Is there a version of this exercise that people could do that have difficulty getting down to and up from the floor? Thank you again much appreciated.
You can do it sitting comfortably inclined on your sofa or maybe you can do these breathing before you go to sleep so you don't need to stand up after :)
In India it's called pranayam and we do it everyday 🙂
This breathing technique has helped me clear up my mind and relax more, thank you
Glad the video helped, Fleury!

De acuerdo
So glad you popped up Thank you love this video
Interesting. I just recently started reading "The Oxygen Advantage" by Patrick McKeown. At first I thought this was bogus, but it does make sense in light of the fact that our 02 sat is indeed typically 95-100%. But I have also been reading other "breathers" who advocate the deep forceful breathing, specifically for weight loss -- Oxycise, Be A Loser, Jumpstart Your Metabolism. They claim remarkable success and have many, many followers with remarkable results. Not sure where the disconnect is. Maybe you know.
There's no necessary disconnect between these different approaches to breathing. People have varying preferences and respond differently to different techniques. "The Oxygen Advantage" by Patrick McKeown focuses on improving overall health and athletic performance through specific breathing techniques. On the other hand, programs like Oxycise, Be A Loser, and Jumpstart Your Metabolism may have different goals, such as weight loss. The effectiveness of these methods can vary from person to person. It's essential to choose the approach that aligns with your specific goals and feels right for you.

Awesome technique. Thank you so much n God bless you
❤Your breathing technique is beyond traditional technique,
Great video. I carry a lot of tension from anxiety. These exercises help me relax better.
I was wondering about the resistance breathing, if you do it the opposite. Meaning, if I breath in for 4 through the nose and have resistance on the outbreath instead, does it do the same for the diaphragm or do you workout something else here? Thanks :)
Resistance breathing can be a great way to strengthen your respiratory muscles and improve lung capacity. While the traditional method involves resistance on the inhale, you can also experiment with resistance on the exhale. This can still engage the diaphragm and provide a workout for your breathing muscles. Give it a try and see how it feels for you! If you'd like more information on breathing exercises, check out this article: Breathing Exercises for Pain Relief. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Are there ways to improve inhaling capacity? As well as improving how long/strong we can breath out as well?
I tried doing this with bong rips every time and I dont know what happened the last 2 hours...
Hi lucas lazy breather lower stomach dosnt move unless concentrating. Actualy reading a book wide awake stopped breathing altoghter scary mate. Going to sleep clinic maye. Youve helped mate. Dont know if going to brain crashed twice due to blackouts mate.
I have one nostril less clear than the other, what can I do?
I have the same thing, isn't there an exercise to compare the blocked nostril?
@@martindintar5232 I don’t know, mine clears a bit when I do alternate breathing
I've always had this. I assume it's from some kind of polyps or something
Hold breath and walk around to increase CO2 levels. Should could blood vessels to constrict opening up nasal passages. He has a video discussing it
One nostril is always more open than the other, this is normal...
I’m having difficulty breathing as I have 25 % of (heart falier) heart function. My question is can I improve my breathing and my heart function?. Please tell me where to get this machine you use to do the excercise. If you sale I want to get one. Thanks so much your information is a treasure.
Many blessings ❤

Isn't he? 😳🙆♂️
I was thinking the same. A coked up crazy man extorting hundreds of billions from US tax payers. Bend over for Biden.
Great content and so well presented thank you .What do you think about 5 sec inhale 5 sec exhale and 5 sec hold "empty" its feel very adaptogenic and energising
The 5-5-5 breathing technique can be very beneficial for relaxation. Experiment with it and see how it works for you!

The glaring issue with utilizing these breath resistance contraptions is that they all bypass the nose during inhalation. Mouth breathing is becoming recognized as one of the worst culprits leading to poor health.
Hello Rich - this is a few minutes of your day and really the only practical way to add resistance to your diaphragm is through your mouth. But yes, nose breathing is ideal during non-exercise times / sleep / etc.
@@YOGABODY.Official thanks for responding
