The Science of Breathing

No one needs us, except ourselves. Therefore, let’s heal ourselves, do for ourselves what can still be done; for ourselves and for those around us. “Breathing is life, and if you breathe correctly, you will live long on earth” –... this is the primary postulate of Hatha Yoga. The overwhelming majority of people do not know how to breathe and breathe incorrectly, and this is the greatest mistake. Correct breathing cleanses the blood and improves blood circulation in all parts of the body. Careless and shallow breathing shortens our earthly days and diminishes our life forces. Every person who cares about their own fate must master the science of breathing. “The Science of Breathing” is a wonderful foundation upon which a person can build a solid structure of Health. The leitmotif of the book is a healthy person. Its main task is to help people get closer to the ideal of a healthy and natural humanity through a special train of thought, special exercises, and techniques. This guide is intended for those who would like to follow the teachings of Hatha Yoga on bringing the body to the highest state of development and complete preservation throughout life. Remember that ten minutes a day devoted to pranayama exercises will always pay off: your strength will increase, your mood will improve, and you will gain greater self-confidence. When a person is advised to engage in Hatha Yoga, such words can sometimes be frightening. However, there is nothing to be afraid of, for it simply means that one should focus on oneself and oneself alone, not on something else – unfamiliar, unclear, or unnecessary; only oneself and nothing else. However, engaging with oneself should not be aimless and ignorant, but according to a certain method, a system, and the best of them is indeed Hatha Yoga. Thus, a person is offered to engage with themselves in the best way possible.
