Welcome to Episode 10 of the Movement Logic podcast! In this episode, Sarah and Laurel tackle the question of whether there is a right or wrong way to breathe, whether or not someone needs help with their breathing, and how to help various populations explore their breath mechanics.
- The problem with belly breathing
- Effective tactile cueing to help people to use their diaphragm effectively
- The problem with cueing people to breathe deeply
- Why creating a safe space to downregulate the nervous system takes priority
- Why some people benefit more by externalizing (rather than internalizing) their focus
- How to breathe during strength training
- Breathing and the pelvic floor
- Pranayama versus cardiovascular endurance training
- Should we breathe through our nose or mouth?

Hi ,
Thank you for your great podcast series !
You might be interested in reading the book BREATH by James Nestor.
According to his extensive research there are many you point you made on Episode #10 that would be disagreed with in the content of his book.

Hi Gabi!
Glad you’re enjoying the podcast. I am doing a follow up episode to discuss Nestor’s book and some other research around nose breathing and nitric oxide – hope you’ll give it a listen! One thing I will say: the book clearly delineates that a lot of the findings require further study before they can be presented as fully supported by research. The nitric oxide component does demonstrate in a lot of associated research that it is backed up – and that is my own lack of knowledge that I didn’t have at the time we recorded this episode when I said mouth or nose breathing didn’t matter – but some of the other findings, for example around CO2, require more study. I’m delighted you are engaged with our material and would love to hear more of your thoughts!
Warmly,
Sarah
