Breathing is at the core of everything we do. Breath is life.
In The Breathing Revolution, Yolanda Barker has developed a seven day breathing program to teach us how to breathe anew, and to experience the benefits of harnessing our breath. With accompanying audio meditations, this is the must-read book for anyone looking to banish anxiety and find inner calm.
We breathe over 20,000 times a day. But most of us don't breathe properly. Years of stress and anxiety mean we breathe through our chest, forgetting to use our diaphragm and stomach. We shallow breathe, we hold our breath, and it affects everything we do. Learn to breathe correctly and you will lower your blood pressure, lose weight, and sleep better.
Take a deep breath--and learn how to breathe again.
