SYNOPSIS
The book is meant
for increasing breath awareness used in many
disciplines to bring about balance and harmony
between body, mind the spirit.
It has been found
that stretching movements with breath knowledge and
co-ordination can help muscle tone, improve
glandular movement and reactivate the internal
organs. People with high blood pressure and heart
disease can benefit from the slow smooth movement
with breath co-ordination.
