The Science of Breathing

First published in 1903, 'The Science of Breath' is the first of many titles on yoga and Hinduism by the mysterious Yogi Ramacharaka. There are no official records of this author and many scholars believe that he did not exist and the name is instead a pseudonym for the true writer, William Walker Atkinson, the famed occultist and pioneer of the American New Thought movement. This manual on the science of controlling your breathing includes chapters on both the spiritual aspect of yoga and breathing, as well as the practical aspect of how to include these concepts in your yoga practice. Chapters contain lessons on such important practices as nostril vs. mouth-breathing, the Yogi complete breath, Yogi rhythmic breathing, and Yogi spiritual breathing. Both experienced and beginner yoga enthusiasts will discover a treasure of useful advice in this thoughtful guide."Breathing may be considered the most important of all of the functions of the body, for, indeed, all the other functions depend upon it." Ramacharaka (Science of BreathA Complete Manual of the Oriental Breathing Philosophy)
