Deborah Garland presents a clear, inspiring and practical introduction to pranayama, yoga breathing, to create greater vibrancy and radiance in life. The yogis mastered the practice of breathing.

Yoga is a spiritual discipline based on an extremely subtle science which focuses on bringing harmony between mind and body. It is the art and science of healthy living. The word "yoga" derives from the Sanskrit root "yuj", meaning to join or to yoke or unite. Yoga is a systematic practice of physical exercise, breath control, relaxation, diet control, positive thinking, and meditation to develop harmony in the body, mind, and environment.

Arranged into three sections, the audiobook is designed to help listeners understand the history, purpose and characteristics of the practice; its feel and expression with an emphasis on breath, process and introspection and how to structure a successful practice. Each section ends with self-enquiry and breath exploration so teachers can practically apply the knowledge shared in each chapter and build a framework for a successful teaching practice.

Yoga is divided into several branches, ranging from that which teaches the control of the body, to that which teaches the attainment of the highest spiritual development. In the work we will not go into the higher phases of the subject, except when the "science of breath" touches upon the same. The Science of Breath touches yoga at many points, and although chiefly concerned with the development and control of the physical, has also its psychic side, and even enters the field of spiritual development.

Instead, he sought a "middle way" between unhealthy overindulgence and unrealistic abstinence. The instructions he gave his monks about eating, more than 2,500 years ago, were surprisingly simple.
