A practical guide to that most basic of bodily functions: breathing. If you, like me, have spent a lifetime not doing it “properly”, this mix of science and simple exercises is a bit of a game changer.

With research, practical exercises, anecdotes and advice, Yolanda Barker shows how breath practice and the knowledge gained through it are important and powerful resources to integrate into our daily lives.

This inspiring new book features a seven-day programme of practical exercises for readers to follow. Drawing on her own experiences with anxiety and depression, the author shares breathing practices to ease stress, enable better sleep and bring calm during difficult situations.

At last – a practical, compassionate, science-backed resource to support your mental health. Empowering for anyone who struggles with anxiety and depression.

Just like breathing, this book is both simple and profound. I learned so much about physiology, neuroscience and psychology, and the breathing exercises are amazingly effective. A vital resource.

An eloquently written and accessible guide to the breath and to breath work. The book has a wealth of information drawn from Yolanda’s teaching experience and is supported by the latest scientific research. The comprehensive seven-day programme is easy-to-follow and will be of help to anyone who wants to reclaim their physical and mental health.

Yolanda Barker is a breath of fresh air. So is this brilliantly practical book. Read it.
