Book Description
Discover how to heal both body and mind using only your breath and your hands. In The Power of Breath and Hand Yoga, Christine Burke shows how you already have all you need to heal both physical and emotional conditions and improve your overall wellbeing. Breath awareness has been linked to calming the body and brain, regulating blood pressure, improving memory and immune function, preventing heart attacks and easing chronic pain and asthma. Mudras are known as 'yoga for the hands': they are hand poses and positions that channel energy and offer a point of focus during meditation. First, Christine teaches you a range of breathing techniques and reveals the background behind mudras and how best to use them, and then she offers breath and mudra practices for 36 conditions, divided into body and mind. Each practice also includes a 'jewel thought' meditation, which can accompany the breath technique and/or mudra.

Book Description
A leading yoga guru and meditation teacher offers step-by-step breathing exercises, revealing how breathwork can enhance your mental and physical well-being Breathing is the most fundamental of our body’s physical processes and our most intimate companion—yet most of us give it little to no thought. However, once fully acknowledged and harnessed, the power of the breath is unlimited. It can ease stress and anxiety, boost energy and stamina, enhance self-confidence, sharpen the ability to focus, strengthen the quality of voice, and even relieve pain. With The Power of Breath, renowned yoga teacher Swami Saradananda aims to give gentle yet powerful guidance on the art of breathing, from the basic practices to its myriad effects on the mind and body. She explores the five types of breath—vitalizing (prana), nourishing (samana), expansive (vyana), cleansing (apana) and expressive (udana)—and provides breathing exercises for each one. She also offers mini programs for targeting specific common ailments and issues such as asthma, skin disorders, depression, lethargy and phobias—plus ways to harness your breath to enhance vocal, dramatic, or sports performance. With evocative artwork, inspiring photography, and easy-to-follow guidance, this book will enhance and affirm your daily life through the power of breathwork.

In the hierarchy of life, breath always wins. It persists 22,000 times daily, but you get to decide whether the way you breathe is to your benefit or detriment.

In Body by Breath, bestselling author Jill Miller takes you on a journey through your breathing body and presents more than 100 step-by-step techniques and practices to help you master the body-breath connection and reset your physiology. This book explores four primary types of resilience-building exercises—breathwork, movement, rolling, and non-sleep deep rest—to help you achieve • Greater power, endurance, and recovery ability • Enhanced self-regulation skills • Supercharged executive function • Relief from pain, injuries, and chronic conditions • Freedom to feel, connect, and express stored emotions Jill shares her scientifically supported methods so you can Train and modulate your body and nervous system for reduced stress, improved mobility, and whole-body resilience Discover the latest findings in breath and fascia research and get the most out of breathwork practice by including more of your body’s parts in the mix Map the vast reach of the diaphragm and feel how it intermingles with everything in your body.

Praise for Breath WorkOut Programs

Check out our Facebook Page for more Reviews Breathwork programme was the first structured programme I undertook with a view to improve my breathing and lung capacity. It was a great experience, as we concluded the 21 day run today. a) Improvement in the way I breathe and being conscious of it b) Most importantly, establishment of a regimen which is clearly very hard to achieve on your own c) Anu Lall’s dedication in making sure that everyone gets it. And getting us into the flow patiently. d) getting us to appreciate the nuances of breathing, diet, our physiology. Very much recommended. Everyone should do this course. *** With Breathing exercises for just over two weeks, I have experienced conscious breathing that was otherwise an involuntary activity. I see a difference in my reactions to a situation, have a grip of my effervescent emotions. The result: a better balanced being. I also see how we naturally adapt our breath in response to a particular emotion or an evolving situation. *** In just the first two days with YogaSmith, I found myself finally breathing through BOTH my nostrils, simultaneously. Then clearly. Both in & out! Certain breathing exercises relax my mind. Others energise me for my outdoor sporty activity. Yet another helps me balance my emotions.. mind & body benefit from breathing consciously, through science & simplicity. *** I attended the 21-day Breathwork program by YogaSmith and am so glad that I invested my time doing that. It was an extremely well structured course and Anu Lall is an excellent teacher. Day 1 itself was a revelation and I looked forward to every single day of practise. While I can list out the numerous benefits, to me what stands out is the realisation that I missed out on so much by not doing this earlier. *** Her mission to make the planet yoga and nature aligned as district from pooping pills and getting under rays of scanner is commendable. I have personally have almost 3 Kgs She makes things very easy by using very daily life examples and keeping the integrity of Sanskrit scriptures in place. *** Both of us absolutely loved the Pranayam classes. It was very much a learning experience for us and we are getting better at exhaling and Drishtis!
