eye opening guide to breathing,
This review is from: Science of Breath (Paperback)
I picked up this book (1979 edition) as a trombonist hoping to expand my lung capacity. what I got was not only much improved breathing technique but also a very interesting and stimulating introduction to yoga and eastern thought. the book provides a great balance between western theories (anatomy of the chest/nose, breathing mechanics) and eastern ideas (energy, prana, meditation). one *must* approach the book with an open mind since some of the ideas are quite foriegn to typical westerners, but the ideas convince the reader (at least this one) that there is much more to eastern practices than western culture gives them credit for.

Still the Best,
By
This review is from: Science of Breath (Paperback)
I am a lifelong yogini and yoga teacher and originally bought this book when it was first published. In the years since have probably bought at least a half dozen other books on this topic and can honestly say this one is still the best. I recommend it regularly to my students because it's both jam-packed with information and completely accessible and direct in its approach. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

Science of Breath review,
By Victoria Truver "Shri Lakshmi Narayan Mandir ... (Riverside, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Science of Breath (Paperback)
Swami Rama has never failed to write a book which I valued. For this title, he shares the authorship with 2 western authors. Their academic scientific portions contrast with Swami Rama's spiritual chapters. While all the information is certainly valid, the Swami divulges secrets not to be found easily elsewhere. He qualifies his statements by warning the reader that these mystical practices should only be attempted with an experienced teacher. Each time I read this book, I find something new that I missed in the prior reading. I attribute this to the knowledge gained between readings. This book is a must have for the serious seeker of enlightenment.
