The Little Book of Yoga Breathing is a great little package that offers a lot. Pranayama, the practice of breath control, is detailed here in an easy-to-understand and even easier-to-practice format. Professional yoga instructor, Scott Shaw introduces 16 breathing exercises and how to get the best benefit from each of the forms by training, refining, and witnessing your breath. This book is for yoga practitioners and those who only consider themselves yoga admirers. Having trouble falling asleep? Try one of the calming breaths, Nadi Sudi, or the Nerve Purifying Breath. Have a long day ahead with no breaks until after dinner? Allow Ujjayi or the Hissing Breath to work its miracles. Also learn the Pranayama term in Sanskrit, how to pronounce it, what it means in English, and how to properly execute the breath to get the best results. And learn how to breathe while moving, standing, and leaning, and how each of these variations can affect your breathing practice. No library descriptions found. |

Pranayama Made Easy ...
by Scott Shaw
This whole subject is so fascinating to me, imagine a little book that can help me learn different methods to get the most out of breathing. I was amazed to learn there are actually names for the different breathing styles, with techniques and suggestions for each one. Eight-Seven pages to help me feel better, just by inhaling and exhaling.
I was blown away when I found out there are calming breaths, energy - enhancing breaths, sipping breaths, cooling breaths, humming breaths and a lot more. The chapters were well presented, with targeted questions and excellent instructions. I just know every Yoga person out there is probably rolling on the floor laughing, but for someone who has been yogically challenged since birth this book is a major eye-opener. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in breathing. Thanks Scott, I need all the help I can get.
Love & Light,
