Description
Discover the breathing techniques of yoga to achieve physical, mental and emotional strength
From our first breath to our last, we spend our entire lives in an endless cycle of inhaling and exhaling. But how do we breathe correctly, why is breathing so crucial to our health, and how does it affect us emotionally, energetically, physically and spiritually? In this definitive guide, yoga teacher Dylan Werner explores breathing from every angle. With humour, clarity and a flair for storytelling, he introduces well-known historical breathing techniques and evaluates these practices in the light of physiology and current scientific research. Using examples from everyday life, he explains how energy flows through the body and how the flow of breath can be regulated and controlled. The focus is on pranayama, the oldest traditional form of yogic breathing. Werner introduces the four components of the breathing cycle and describes how pranayama can be practised as a standalone breathing technique or integrated into yoga flows. He then turns his attention to practical application with different objectives – for instance, breathing can be used to enhance athletic performance and speed up recovery, improve sleep, boost cognitive abilities, reduce anxiety or promote relaxation. Each sequence can be modified or combined differently according to personal needs. Through this journey through the world of breathing, everyone can learn to use their breath to its full potential and thus bring more balance into their lives.
Dylan Werner
was an extreme sportsman in his youth. At the age of 18, he joined the US Marine Corps, where he served as a firefighter and joined the wrestling team. Later, he volunteered for the Iraq War. After his honourable discharge, he returned to California and studied anatomy and emergency medicine. He then worked for several years in the A&E department and as a paramedic with the fire service. He first came into contact with yoga in 2001, but it was not until 2009 that he discovered its significance and the philosophy behind it. From then on, yoga became part of his life and he gave up his stressful job as a paramedic. Today, Dylan Werner is an internationally sought-after yoga teacher and trainer; he gives talks and runs workshops all over the world. His passion is to help people build a deep inner connection with themselves through yoga, so that they can live in harmony.
