“A thoughtful resource to help readers slow down.” —Library Journal

Take a deep breath and get lost in this illustrated guide to the transformative power of breathing combining inspiration, instruction, and amazing illustrations to create a one-of-a-kind book about the popular practice of breath work.

Breathing happens.

All day long you are sustained by the movement of air in and out of your lungs. Because it’s a natural function most people don’t give much thought to it. But when you consciously engage your breath, incredible things can happen.

Filled with vibrant art, meaningful quotes, practical exercises, and lighthearted humor, Breathe Deep stokes the curious mind and inspires a deeper relationship with the power of breath.

Drawing upon both ancient wisdom and cutting-edge science, Breathe Deep delves into the mechanics of respiration and the proven physical and emotional benefits of conscious breathing. As a bridge that unites body and mind, breath work is a powerful tool that can be used to calm anxiety and transform limiting mindsets.
