The Hindu-Yogi Science Of Breath: The Vedic System Of Pranayama For Physical, Mental, Psychic and Spiritual Development. Paperback – July 24, 2014

A must read

Good read to know about how breath can make soo much difference in life and science around it

"The Hindu-Yogi Science of Breath" by Atkinson explains yoga as a physical, mental and spiritual art form which is perfected over time. Initially, practitioners seek to control the body while perfecting the art into a high spiritual experience. The idea is to direct the prana to vital organs as we breathe through the nostrils. In addition, our breathing can be enjoyed further by taking deep breaths and holding them in for short periods.The various breathing techniques are explained like high, low, mid-level and the yogi's complete breathing through the abdomen. Ultimately, an experienced practitioner can breathe through the bones in the form of a "Grand Breath". Overall, Atkinson's book is well organized and it develops the breathing techniques incrementally. The book is well written and easy to understand or interpret.
