In these pages, breathwork teacher Andrew Smart presents a variety of foundational breathing techniques from a range of traditions-including Zen breathing, Somatic breathing, Holotropic breathing, and more-and makes them accessible to a wide audience. Organized by breathwork technique, each chapter includes a short explanation on the background and basic science of the technique followed by simple-to-follow breathing practices for stress relief, energy, healing, connection, exercising, and more.
