Tanya GK Bentley, PhD
Tanya is co-founder and CEO of the Health & Human Performance Foundation in Los Angeles, CA, USA and researches breath.
Let’s be more specific and quote part of her profile: Tanya’s current research focuses on the “effectiveness of active, voluntary breathing practices on health and human performance outcomes.” I make this bold claim that breathing is the most powerful tool we all have. And I keep encouraging you all to experience it for yourself.
But Tanya goes one step further. She researches if breathing exercises affect our health. Asks questions like: “Can we improve our performance with breathing exercises?” and conducts studies. Studies are hard to read because they are scientific and full of data.
Let’s get some answers from Tanya in plain language we all can understand. Let’s find out if it is true that breathing is powerful. Can we solve health problems with breathing? Is breathing by itself good enough as a tool? How is research going to help us solve the problems we have? And where and how are the results of the research implemented? Can we benefit from it?

One field Tanya focuses on are first responders. They burn out and it costs a fortune! And why should anyone burn out? It’s wrong. And breathing is an answer and Tanya’s studies can hopefully soon prove it. Ric Jorge cannot wait to see the results implemented!
Denise Cady Arbeau already works with young people, another interest of Tanya.
Dr. Matthias Wittfoth shares the passion for research and knows about the challenges.
