“When I began talking and teaching about breathing, the first
person I invited to that work was Jill Miller. There are very few
people who have a black belt of understanding in the biological
experience; she sits in a class of her own. Jill’s understanding of
the role of breathing in being human and its applications cannot be
replicated. She already has changed the landscape of the oldest
movement practice we know (yoga) and is now making sense of its
foundation. If you are interested in truly understanding how our
breath works with us or without us, this is the most important book
to date on the subject.”
—Brian Mackenzie, human performance specialist and author of
Unplugged and Power Speed Endurance
“It is a wry comment on our current condition that we need to be
taught how to walk, run, stand, and even breathe. Nevertheless, the
research shows the cost of not teaching humans these simple but
lost arts is disease and disengagement. Jill Miller has distilled
her years of practical work in the field into a reference manual
for the modern therapist, parent, or human that respects our
intelligence and covers the field with assurance and, best of all,
effervescent humor and disarming honesty.”
—Tom Myers, author of Anatomy Trains
“Body by Breath is an extraordinary read. A gifted teacher, Jill
Miller masterfully weaves together important physiological concepts
with clear diagnostics and resulting actionable protocols. The
illustrations, graphics, and writing style combine to seamlessly
float the reader back and forth between wonder, inspiration, and
self-guided application. Body by Breath is as comprehensive as any
academic course or textbook—yet also dedicates hundreds of pages to
walking the reader through a guide to building a personalized
protocol.”
—Andy Galpin, professor of Human Performance, director of the
Center for Sport Performance at CSU Fullerton, and bestselling
author of Unplugged
“In Body by Breath, Jill has given us the user’s manual for the
human body that we have all been waiting for. Many of us are
seeking guidance to help us restore a sense of balance as we
navigate the mental, emotional, and physiological impact of the
pandemic. Jill explains the science of breath while making a
complex topic both understandable and usable in our everyday lives.
Throughout the book, you will receive experiential practices that
invite you to embody the material and enhance your well-being. I
cannot recommend this book highly enough. Bravo!”
—Dr. Arielle Schwartz, clinical psychologist and author of The
Post-Traumatic Growth Guidebook
“Body by Breath is a blueprint for working through the physical and
emotional storms caused by trauma or injury. It’s like Jill gives
you a giant warm hug of facts about navigating your body and mind,
and then she holds your hand to guide you step by step through
practices to build physical and emotional intelligence. I can’t
think of anyone who wouldn’t benefit from this book.”
—Dr. Theresa Larson, PT, DPT, CSCS, Marine Corps veteran, and
author of Warrior
“At a time when the culture demands us to take in more and more,
the pandemic made us afraid to inhale, and respiratory illness—from
asthma to apnea to COPD—are everywhere, Body by Breath arrives like
of breath of fresh air to give us the inspiration we need to find
more freedom, comfort, and vitality in the most basic of physical
acts, which is the first thing we do when we come into this
world—breathe!”
—David Lesondak, BCSI, ATSI, FST, University of Pittsburgh
Medical Center, and author of Fascia: What It Is and Why It
Matters
“Body by Breath is a complete manual to positively inspire
you. Jill Miller’s thorough and thoughtful
book is packed with clear explanations, exercises and
gorgeous, helpful visuals. Body by Breath is the ‘how to breathe
well’ textbook you wish you’d read years ago.”
—Katy Bowman, MS, bestselling author of Move Your DNA and Rethink
Your Position
Body by Breath is an essential resource for all bodies, including
athletes; educators; yoga practitioners; those who struggle with
pain, injury, anxiety, or the effects of long-term COVID; or anyone
who wants to cultivate greater skills for self-regulation and
healing. With an eye toward science, Jill Miller provides
theoretical explanations and embodied exercises to help us
understand and experience the impact that deep, deliberate, and
targeted breath has on our physical, emotional, and psychological
health and wellness. As a yoga teacher and practitioner, I
will use this thorough and well-researched book to not only enrich
my understanding but as a resource within my own
programming.
