The Breathing Revolution

The Breathing Revolution: Train Yourself To Breathe Properly To Banish Anxiety And Find Your Inner Calm

Yolanda Barker

£12.99
Green Tree

Take a breath — and learn to breathe again. This book shows just how important it is for us to breathe properly and focus on our breathing, something that most yogis will already know. The core of the book contains a seven-day programme with a breathing exercise per day. The second part of the book contains techniques that can help on a day-to-day basis, from how to identify triggers to tips for posture and pelvic floor health and breathing techniques that help with specific issues. With research, practical exercises, anecdotes and advice, the author shows how breath practice and the knowledge gained through it are important and powerful resources to integrate into our daily lives.

Yoga And Self-Enquiry

Lucy E. Johnson
£12

This practical guidebook is suitable for both beginners as well as more advanced yoga practitioners. Part I focuses on the teachings of self-enquiry as presented by Sri Ramana Maharshi and other luminaries in the field of Advaita Vedanta. Part II summarises the teachings of yoga and details how a keen seeker can put into daily practice Patanjali’s eight limbs of yoga to achieve their ultimate aim: Kaivalya or final liberation. Much more than an introduction to yoga, this book focuses on the higher level teachings of these two spiritual practices, revealing their underlying unity and complementarity.
