This training type is originated with Stephen Elliott, and actively popularized by Patricia Gerbarg, assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at New York Medical College.
Coherent breathing is one of the most popular breathing gymnastics exercise in the West.
We tend to think it is derived from Pranayama, an ancient Vedic technique of breathing gymnastics, as one of the variations of Sama Vritti Pranayama ("Even Breath" in Sanskrit) has the very same ratio of breath cycle.
In Prana Breath this training type is adapted even for people that don't practice any meditative practice and/or don't have much time for practice but still need its effect.
