Breathing is the most fundamental of our bodys processes, yet most of us give it little thought in our daily lives. Once harnessed, however, the power of our breath is unlimitedenhancing self-confidence, sharpening our ability to focus, easing anxiety and stress, and helping to relieve pain.

Swami Saradananda then leads you through the five types of breath you may feel drawn to explore, with over 30 life-enriching exercises explained and beautifully illustrated for maximum clarity. A final section of smaller breathing programs will help you target common issues, such as asthma, skin disorders, depression and phobias, as well as harnessing your breath to enhance vocal, dramatic or sports performance. If you want to be in control of your life, the key is to gain control of your prana. And if you want to control your prana, the best place to begin is by controlling your breath, because your breath is the most tangible manifestation of your prana.
