  • This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Stacey Schuerman leads us through an exercise designed to reset, renew, and rejuvenate our energy. Join her as she teaches us about breathing and calming the mind.
    Stacey Schuerman, E-RYT 500 (Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher), is the Co-Owner of SunSpark Yoga, a family owned, community focused yoga studio in the heart of Old Towne Orange. She has been practicing yoga since 2002 and teaching yoga to adults and kids of all ages since 2008. Stacey's personal yoga journey began after an injury, when she discovered it was the perfect exercise for strength development, balance, increased flexibility and stress reduction.
    About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    Thanks for the upload and thanks to Stacey Schuerman! I've had anxiety problems for years, and it's breathwork which really helps in stressful times, such as when my youngest is having a tantrum. The brilliant thing is that breathwork is free! One can simply activate the parasympathetic nervous system in a few minutes. I wish all those who read this comment a boss day.

    I truly enjoyed your exercise, Stacey! Thank you for sharing this with the world. Meditation and breathing have enabled me to release and heal my PTSD and ADD. I have never felt better since I picked up meditation and breathwork as daily training since 2008. Anyone who's watching this or reading this comment, please listen to what Stacey is teaching, it's solid GOLD and your life will change - you just gotta give it a try and stick with if for a little bit before judging it. I have been meditating since 2008 and haven't missed a day since. I became so passionate about it, that I became a meditation trainer and started my own meditation-based business.

      Darko P That is right. No point in harming oneself. Truth to be told, it has become a bit of on and off. Two or three days of meditation and breathing and cold showers and then a few days off. But the benefits are there and I aim to continue doing without overdoing it till I am fit enough.I am seeing some weight loss as well. Not sure if it has anything to do with the breathing exercises.

Four, because it is the number of nature. Takin in new power with the inhale, and pushing out all anxiety, fear and weakness out with the exhale. Well, after this video I am thinking about to improve that exercise. Thank you for the guidence.

      @Self Improvement I do it before. Of course 'looking' at the breathing is a common technique in meditation, but when I do this technique before I start the sitting meditation, the I get way more calm. I think it is the body that needs less air, so your breathing calms down, so you become more still. It stills the mind.

    This is beautiful work. I would like to point out that Namaste is a respectful Hello in India. It is a form of greeting used when people meet together in a formal setting. I think Westerners practicing yoga use it as a replacement for "Bless You" or "Peace be to you" and I notice they use it at the very end. This is completely fine but it might confuse Indians if they go to India or other Hindi speaking cultures.

      Namaste is the combining (sandhi) of Namah (bow to) + Te (you) = Namah Te = Namaste
      Namaskar is used interchangeably with Namaste.
      I don't know how Namaskar breaks down.

    Thank you, Ms. Schuerman. You did it for me. I am eternally grateful. Your calm, soothing words and instructions triggered a desire in me to do this again. I was able to connect. God’s Grace. Long life.
