Mind Body Breath
‘I became a student of yoga and meditation whilst travelling in India in the mid 1980s and since then I’ve been involved in research on mind, body and breath that has included research on meditation, yoga, massage and breathing that has ranged from population surveys and clinical trials, to laboratory-based studies and systematic reviews.
Meditation research includes work on the methodology of meditation research, changes in brain waves with meditation practice, and mindfulness in the classroom. Yoga research includes the Yoga in Australia study and research on yoga and heart rate variability oxygen consumption, flow states, hypertension, insomnia and metabolic syndrome along with teaching yoga to university students. Massage research includes a review of massage research and a study of massage on musculoskeletal pain in Filipino squatter communities. My research on the breath includes studies on the assessment of breathing, a clinical trial of the Buteyko breathing technique and asthma, and laboratory studies on dysfunctional breathing and the Buteyko technique.’
