Ed Harrold is an American breathwork expert, pranayama teacher, author, and wellness educator. He is best known for his work integrating the science of conscious breathing with neuroscience, mindfulness, and human performance. He is the author of two books on the subject: Life With Breath: IQ + EQ = NEW YOU (2017 ) and BodyMindBusiness: The Business of BE'ing Within (2020).

Career

Harrold's background is rooted in the art, science, and application of pranayama (yogic breathwork). Over a 30-year career, he has developed a philosophy and methodology that blends spiritual contemplative traditions with modern science to improve mental and physical health, athletic performance, and executive functioning.

He is the founder of Go Be Great, Inc., a Utah-based wellness and education organization. Through this platform, Harrold provides private coaching, corporate wellness programs, and continuing education courses. His signature training program, Breath AS Medicine, provides continuing education for health coaches, healthcare professionals, and fitness instructors on the clinical applications of breath regulation.

Harrold is a frequent public speaker and advocates for interoception—the ability to connect with and perceive internal bodily sensations—over the reliance on data-driven wearable technology for health monitoring. His work emphasizes using breath rate and pattern modification to biohack the autonomic nervous system, promoting parasympathetic dominance and heart-brain coherence.

Philosophy and Methodology

Harrold's teachings center on a "body over mind" psychology. He posits that modern, fast-paced lifestyles frequently trap individuals in chronic stress responses (sympathetic nervous system dominance). Because the mind cannot always resolve stress created by the mind, Harrold advocates using physical interventions—specifically breath regulation—to alter biochemistry, biomechanics, and physiology. By establishing physical homeostasis and a lower heart rate, individuals can subsequently achieve better emotional regulation, cognitive focus, and executive functioning.

Publications

Harrold is the author of two published books:

  • Life With Breath: IQ + EQ = NEW YOU (Go Be Great Inc., 2017, ISBN 978-0999066836). This book details the mind-body relationship linked through breath, offering a 30-day guide to utilizing pranayama for stress reduction, resilience building, and transforming negative habitual behaviors.
  • BodyMindBusiness: The Business of BE'ing Within (Go Be Great Inc., 2020, ISBN 978-0999066805). Aimed at executives and professionals, this book introduces neuroleadership skills and breathwork techniques designed to overcome mental barriers, reduce workplace stress, and optimize human performance and profitability.

He also writes a regular newsletter on Substack titled Ed Harrold Breath AS Medicine.
