breathe the change
Since 2013 Laurie Ellis-Young's nonprofit, BreathLogic
has been helping thousands of people around the world
find inner peace, reduce stress and anxiety, and
experience meaningful health benefits through the
Extraordinary Power of Our Ordinary Breath
BreathLogic’s local and global initiatives are changing peoples’ lives every day:
1. Easing the traumas of war in Ukraine
Since the outbreak of war in 2022, Laurie Ellis-Young and Dr. George Ellis have been working tirelessly online and in-person to help Ukrainian psychologists, soldiers, chaplains, mothers who have lost sons, and others to cope with traumas of war. This November Laurie and Dr. George will be in Ukraine training leaders to help others caught up in the horrors of war. Generous BreathLogic donors like you make this life-changing work possible!
2. Creating “Inner Sanctuary” through Blipp Breathe-Alongs
Laurie Ellis-Young’s Blipp Breathe-alongs (Blipp = Breath Logic’s Instant Power Practices) enable participants to mindfully breathe their way to less stress, reduced anxiety, improved respiratory function, and more peace and calm. These short online or in-person sessions are an efficient and highly effective way to boost mood, energy, health, and peace of mind.
3. Inspiring wellbeing through our partnership with Herself Health
This year BreathLogic partnered with Herself Health, an innovative primary care practice specially designed for women 65 and above, in an interactive 3-part book club experience with Laurie Ellis-Young and Dr. George Ellis’s award-winning book, “Breath is Life: Taking In and Letting Go.” BreathLogic instructors shared engaging tools, techniques, and activities to improve physical, mental, and emotional health.
4. Connecting Hearts: Equine Assisted Breathwork and Mindfulness
Laurie Ellis-Young is collaborating with Sunshine Therapeutic Riding Center in Hot Springs, AR to combine the power of breath with equine assisted meditation. People suffering from a range of physical and emotional symptoms find relief and deep peace through sessions which provide tools to be more present and mindful, to regulate our heartbeats, and reset the nervous system.
These BreathLogic initiatives, plus our on-going workshops, online programs,
and individual and group coaching are made possible by
YOUR GENEROUS DONATIONS!
BreathLogic partners with the Ukrainian American Center in Minneapolis
to support Ukrainian immigrants and refugees of war move on in their lives.
We all need to breathe easier.
Please help BreathLogic continue to bring life-changing work to those who need us most

FOREWORD REVIEWS by Melissa Wuske Jan/Feb 2022: “The book has a calm pace, augmenting the tone of its instruction. The pages are roomy with beautiful, restful botanical accents. Each chapter ends with breathing essentials: a key idea plus a BLIPP—Breath Literacy’s Instant Power Practice—to make sure learning goes from the mind to the body. Breath Is Life is a health book that shows that new life is as close as your lungs.”
