– Leonard Orr, founder of Rebirth International
"Dan Brule is one of the world’s great breathwork masters of our time. He weaves together breathing physiology, psychology, and spirituality in uniquely practical ways that most anyone can learn for improving health and performance. His writing style is crisp, clear, personal, easy to read, and even exciting. His book is a “must read” not only for breathworkers, healthcare practitioners, and yoga-meditation fans but also for virtually anyone who suspects that breathing might just be something important in their lives!"
– Peter M. Litchfield, Ph.D., President of the Graduate School of Behavioral Health Sciences

Just Breathe also will provide you with the wisdom of a world traveler who has presented breathwork successfully in more cultures and diverse settings than practically anyone on the planet.

– Jim Morningstar, PhD, director of Transformations Breathwork Training Program and author of Breathing in Light and Love and The Complete Breath
"I am a skeptic of nearly everything. I’ve trained with the Navy, helped an NFL player get on a team, raced Grand Prix motorcycles… all high stress environments. What works? Train. Eat. Sleep. That’s what works. But wait a second… Enter Dan Brulé and his BREATHWORK. To me THIS technology is the fourth pillar of achievement. It makes a huge difference in performance, and I am all in. Today I might miss a workout, I might miss a meal, but I’ll never miss a breathing session. Welcome to the fourth pillar, and welcome Dan as your coach."
– Oren Klaff, founder of Intersection Capital and author of Pitch Anything
“Breath is the ultimate key to your well-being, and if done right, it has the power to transform your entire life—physical, mental, and spiritual. Just Breathe is the definitive breathwork handbook, and Dan Brulé is the master to show you how…I love his coaching and it’s made a huge impact in my life.”
– Tony Robbins, bestselling author and life coach
“In Just Breathe, Dan Brule really explains what it means to, as the book says, just breathe. It is a fundamental part of life to breathe, so why not do it correctly? And that is exactly what Dan teaches in this book, how to breathe in a way that lets you be the healthiest you can be, and live your life one amazing breath at a time.”
– David Riklan, founder of SelfGrowth.com
"I always start my breathing courses by saying that breathing is simple but it is not easy. Either you JUST let your autonomic nervous system do the job and breathe your life… or you ADJUST your breath and tweak it to its optimal functioning and live the full life you deserve. I love the way Dan gently enters breath mastery through awareness, relaxation and breathing. His 'Wake Up!' 'Let Go!' and 'Take Charge' are the basics of what we all teach, but here in Just Breathe it is so clear and straightforward."
– Dr. David O'Hare, MD, author of 365 Heart Coherence
"This book, which embodies Dan’s life work, draws us in, inhales us into a fresh new state of awareness, of seeing how, even in the small moments of each day, we can transform our experiences with conscious breathing. Then it breathes us out into the world with freedom from habits and limitations, with wisdom from ancient traditions and modern science, and with the knowledge that it is quite possible to heal ourselves and others using the power of our breath. Thanks to Dan for this inspirational work!"
– Patricia Gerbarg, MD Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, New York Medical College and coauthor of The Healing Power of the Breath
"Most of us have never even considered the gift and value of the breath until something comes in the way of its flow. In Just Breathe, Dan succeeds in sharing a lifetime of experience and wisdom in a way that is accessible and practical but at the same time wakes us up to the magic and mystery of the breath. He makes the simple act of breathing come alive through his passion and deep insight. He guides us to develop a conscious relationship with the breath to optimize every aspect of tour lives. What a gift!"
– Ela Manga, MD, author of My Energy Codes, director of Woodlands Spa and Center for Conscious Living, South Africa
"Of all the experts we met during the development of the breathing chair, Dan was one of the most impressive! The breathing techniques and exercises he uses and his approach to breathwork were very new and revolutionary for us. Thanks to Dan, we now understand that breathing not only supplies oxygen to our body and releases C02 but brings our mind, body and soul to an unexpected level. Just Breathe is a guide to not only improving your physical, emotional and psychological health, and your performance, it is also a guide to raising your consciousness.”
– Jean-Louis Portales, inventor of the 02Chair
"I have known Dan for many years through the International Breathwork Foundation. I see him as a passionate hunter, having explored, enjoyed and mastered the amazing gift that Life offers us through the breath. That gift, along with all his passion and mastery is what he offers us through Just Breathe. A very practical and inspiring book with a wide range of exercises for our daily life, and also for very specific situations and health issues. Ideal for oneself, but also to use with our peers, clients, patients, pupils and family. Don't resist the temptation to dive into it and let yourself be guided along a life-changing journey!"
– Véronique Batter, MS, Breathwork coach, founder of AlmaNacer, and former President of International Breathwork Foundation
