How to Breathe: Improve your breathing for health, happiness and well-being

Description

Did you know that the way you breathe can be detrimental to your well-being? Poor posture, stress, muscular tension... all can make the 'effortless' act of breathing hard work without us realizing. And breathing isn't just a physical activity; it influences our mental, emotional and spiritual well-being, too. How to Breathe shows you how to relearn your natural rhythm of breathing to beneficially alter the way you think, feel and act. Packed with breathing techniques to use at home, and featuring groundbreaking methods developed by the founder of the Alexander Technique, it will help you rediscover how to breathe naturally to improve every aspect of your life. By applying consciousness to the action of breathing, you can become aware of harmful habits - and alleviate common breathing problems in the process.
