One of most fundamental and common breathing practices within yoga is the long, slow, deep breathing pattern. In a number of studies of yoga practice, slow yogic breathing has been a practice that beginners often immediately begin to adopt and benefit from in their daily lives as a valuable coping and health strategy. It has also made its way into modern Western medicine as a fairly well know relaxation practice referred to as slow breathing, abdominal breathing or belly breathing. Biomedical scientific research on slow breathing has begun to reveal the substantial impact it has on both mental and physical functioning. On the physical level, it has direct impact on the autonomic nervous system, where it can reduce sympathetic activity, blood pressure and heart rate and increase heart rate variability. It can also change characteristics of respiratory functioning including changes in the chemoreflex response and improvement in gas exchange. Slow breathing research is also showing direct impact on the central nervous system, with positive changes in stress, emotion and pain regulation. Clinical research is beginning to show its efficacy in disorders such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and hypertension.About Sat Bir Khalsa, Ph.D.Sat Bir Singh Khalsa, Ph.D. is the Director of Yoga Research for the Yoga Alliance and the Kundalini Research Institute, a Research Associate at the Benson Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine, a Research Affiliate at the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine, and an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

Breath control in physical and mental health as it enhances performance both on and off the field.About Michael Miletic, MDAdvancing the field of brain-body-mind science for your best health. Dr. Michael Miletic is a former Olympic athlete and a prominent physician specializing in clinical neuroscience and integrative metabolic medicine. Dr. Miletic evaluates the brain, mind, and body and brings the latest science and evidence-based treatments to optimize your health. He specializes in athletes, executives, and adolescents looking to reach their full potential. Dr. Miletic’s comprehensive training and evidence-based research have enabled him to understand something many healthcare providers do not: approaches that treat the body without addressing the mind are limited in their effectiveness. Getting to know you, your life experiences, and the way you think and feel is thus a critical aspect of the care you receive from Dr. Miletic. Dr. Miletic developed “The Miletic Method” as a new model of mental health treatment, brain functioning, performance, longevity, and health. The model consists of looking at the brain/body as a series of interrelated bidirectional systems influencing and influenced by each other in ways specific to each patient. Understanding the intricacies of this allows us to approach each patient in an individualized way. The method then involves integrating all of the physical measures through history taking and specialized lab tests with psychology and neuroscience in a way that provides a new understanding of mental states and psychiatric diagnoses. Some of the aspects of your health that are measured and evaluated include hormone balance, micronutrients levels, neurotransmitter levels, gut health, inflammation, stress, immune response, life events and trauma. Based on an initial assessment of your physical and mental health and your personal health goals, Dr. Miletic will provide a personalized treatment plan. As he monitors your body’s response to this plan, he will adapt and optimize treatment until the desired results are achieved. Dr. Miletic earned his medical degree from the University of Western Ontario Medical School and completed his residency in Psychiatry at the Detroit Medical Center. He is Board Certified in Psychiatry, Neurology and Metabolic Medicine. He is also certified in Psychoanalysis and serves as an Advanced Fellow in Metabolic Medicine. He is licensed in both the United States and Canada, and his practice is based in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.Follow Dr. MileticTheMileticCenter.com is the primary website.
