The art of breathing

As simple as breathing: how to re-educate a natural gesture

For those who make music with their voice, breathing is essential. On the other hand, there is nothing more essential to our life than breathing: take air and let it out, twenty-five thousand times a day. It would seem trivial yet humans, as a species, have lost the ability to breathe properly, thus compromising their health.
Science journalist James Nestor traveled the world to understand what went wrong with this approach and, after painstaking research, found some surprising answers: he did not find them, as one would expect, in the pneumology laboratories, but in the excavations of ancient burial sites, in secret Soviet structures, ... Nestor tracked down men and women who explored the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices such as Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo.
Their research is now redefining the potential of the human body and has allowed us to discover that diseases such as asthma, anxiety, attention deficit disorder, psoriasis could be alleviated or reversed only by changing the way we inhale and exhale.
Yes, breathing allows us to act on the nervous system, control the immune response and restore our health. Yes, changing the way we breathe will help us live longer ... and sing better!
