Simple yet thorough book on breathing-- with helpful tips &  illustrations

Simple yet thorough book on breathing-- with helpful tips & illustrations
This book gives just enough information to help you understand the mechanics of breathing and why it is important to practice these exercises for health & wellbeing without it being too overwhelming. There is a clear plan for the 3-weeks, with morning & evening guidelines, often with tips and illustrations to show the position of the exercise. As a nurse, I appreciate how thorough it is and also simple to follow, but that is also has depth, insight and personal anecdotes which make it feel personal. Recommended for teens as well as adults.

    Valerie Moselle is very passionate about the benefits of breath techniques for everyone and writes in such a way as to make the benefits and techniques understandable for the beginner. The book talks about limitations participants may have and encourages health care professionals input, then after a brief overview proceeds to a day by day program which teaches a variety of techniques which do require practice and developing new muscle memory to be effective. This is not a three week and you’re done with it program, but rather one that will only reach its potential, if you continue to make it a part of your daily routine. I’m hoping it will assist me in transitioning to further development in Yoga as conveyed in the book “Relaxing into Yoga for Seniors.” The two seemingly hold great potential to compliment each other.

    The author gives practical lessons to breathe better and increase the reader's ability to develop the resulting breathing improvements in daily living. Gives understanding of a natural process we may not use as fully as we could.

    Amazon Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
    This is a 21 day program to learn and practice several breathing styles related to yoga. It will make you more aware of your breathing and prone to breathing more consciously.
    The program starts very simply and I find that it helps to have a meditation timer to use. I have one on my smartphone that was free and works well. The first exercise involves just counting your breaths for 3 minutes. From that, each exercise builds on more and more conscious breathing with different types of breathing being slowly introduced.
    The program also includes some movements. They do not include adaptions for those who might be too heavy or with medical conditions that prevent them from things like bending the legs up while laying down and twisting. It's not heavy on that though. There are some diagrams to help make it easier, but most of the explanations are written description.
    I do think that it is good to have some tabs because as the exercises go on, sometimes it will mention earlier breathing methods and I found myself flipping back a lot looking for where those were described to job my memory. It would be nice to have a concise chart or something with the book.

    Otherwise, it's a very easy read, well written and easy to understand. It's a very do-able program.

    "Breathwork" helps you to explore how you breathe and contains a 21 day program that teaches different breathing techniques. The author mostly based her selection of techniques on those used in yoga and martial arts traditions. She only included those that are safe and do-able for any age or physical ability. She started by explaining the benefits of conscious breathing. She explained the main categories of breathing techniques (like using using only the belly or rib cage, different timing for different parts of the breath, or holding one's breath) and what each type of technique will help achieve. This was very helpful for me as I was confused by all the different options that people mention.

    She then got into the specifics of her program. She described several stretches that you will do for the first 5 minutes of the 10 minute morning session. She described how to do the body scan and tension meditation that you will do for the first 5 minutes of the 10-20 minute evening session. For each day, she described the breathing exercise for the morning and the evening, and they generally built on what was learned in the previous sessions. The first week focused on the physical aspects of breathwork--learning belly breathing, rib cage breathing, resistance breathing, and wave breathing. The second week focused on using breath to enhance awareness of our physical self, emotions, and thoughts. The third week focused on overall well-being and how breathwork can enhance our sense of purpose.

    I have to admit I got bored with the stretching and the body scan parts of the exercises. I understand their purpose, but it adds time to what is already pushing my current "be still" tolerance levels. I also could already do everything in week 1, so that felt very basic. So it's a good book for a complete beginner because it is basic and explains things. But I suspect you're most likely to complete the 3 weeks of exercises if you're already used to spending 20-30 minutes a day stretching or meditating.

    I received an ebook review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.
