Full Description
This instalment of Christopher Gladwell and James Earls's two-part series on the evolution of breathing and breathwork deals with finding the 'perfect breath'. Building on the evolutionary science of breathing explored in volume 1, this book enables the reader to recognize the situational demands placed on themselves or their clients and to respond with the relevant breathwork technique.
From reaching sustainable peak performance in sports to adjusting stress and trauma induced breathing patterns to gain resilience, the authors explore the reasons why we don't breathe the way we should and how breathwork practitioners can help clients find the 'perfect breath' for their situation and health. Gladwell and Earls treat topics such as breathwork for women and breathwork for spiritual transcendence and longevity with sensitivity and care, citing interviews and contributions from other experts. An invaluable resource on its own and a companion book to volume 1, this comprehensive volume includes explanatory videos to clearly demonstrate featured techniques.
