Breathing Deeply and FullyWithout breath, there is no life. Breath carries the life force.

Even the plants breathe and thankfully for us since they exhale the oxygen that we inhale to live. Most people use only a third of their lung capacity which means many are

living at only 30% capacity. When we are uptight, anxious or worried, we often breathe even less or may find ourselves

actually holding our breath. Breathing deeply and fully is the foundation of a healthy body and spirit. Pranayama and

kundalini yoga focus on the breath for self-empowerment and overcoming pain.

Make a commitment to incorporate good breathing practice into your daily life.

Relax, Breath Fully and Deeply Today!
