The Key to Good Health is to Breathe Well
Increasingly, the breath is being recognised as a crucial element to physical and mental wellbeing, concentration, and contentment. A great deal of research has been done showing how deep breathing is the first principle of good health and provides instant relief from anxiety, overwhelm, and stress, as well as a wide array of other health indicators such as heart disease, inflammation, high blood pressure, and heart rate variability.
“Our work has proven that the breath is a wonder drug.” — TKV Desikachar.
