Beskrivning

One of the most common issues clients face is lack of energy, vitality or prana and this book presents a simple yet revolutionary breathing approach to restore balance. Grounded in the yogic teachings, this text introduces the Buteyko breathing method as a more contemporary way of understanding the original intention of pranayama. Through extensive research, Robin Rothenberg establishes that as with Dr. Buteyko's breath retraining technique, the ancient yogis prescribed breathing less not more. Vedic science and physiology are broken down and explained in accessible ways. The book presents a new understanding and application of breathing to address a wide range of ailments, including COPD, asthma, hay-fever, autoimmune disorders, anxiety, sleep apnoea and neurological conditions.

Recensioner i media

Restoring Prana by Robin Rothenberg is a delightful blend of personal and client stories, Yoga and The Buteyko Method, all integrated by cutting edge science. This book should be required reading in the education of all rehab professionals who are dealing with clients with breathing or other chronic health issues. It should also be read by anyone who has a breathing or chronic health issue that have not responded to conventional care. Hopefully the information in this book, will become conventional care in the future.
