Restoring Prana: A Therapeutic Guide to Pranayama and Healing Through the Breath for Yoga Therapists, Yoga Teachers, and Healthcare Practitioners

by Robin L. Rothenberg, Kirsteen Wright (Illustrator), Richard Miller (Foreword)

One of the most common issues clients face is lack of energy, vitality or prana and this book presents a simple yet revolutionary breathing approach to restore balance. Grounded in the yogic teachings, this text introduces the Buteyko breathing method as a more contemporary way of understanding the original intention of pranayama. Through extensive research, Robin Rothenberg establishes that as with Dr. Buteyko's breath retraining technique, the ancient yogis prescribed breathing less not more. Vedic science and physiology are broken down and explained in accessible ways. The book presents a new understanding and application of breathing to address a wide range of ailments, including COPD, asthma, hay-fever, autoimmune disorders, anxiety, sleep apnoea and neurological conditions.

Paras nyt tietämäni kirja pranayamasta ja hengityksestä on tämä Robin L. Rothenbergin teos Restoring Pranayama A Therapeutic Guide to Pranayama and Healing Through the Breath for Yoga Therapists, Yoga Teachers, and Healthcare Practitioners. Se on myös lähes ainoa tiedossani oleva nykytutkimuksen perustuva käytännön läheinenkin kirja hengityksestä ja sen kemiasta.

This is a scholarly and comprehensive analysis of the teachings and breathing approach to restore balance in treating a wide range of ailments of COPD, asthma, neurological disorders and others. The author discusses the yogic teachings of pranayama in conjunction with the Buteyko Breathing Technique. Although his book is primarily therapeutic Guide to Healing for Yoga Therapists, Teachers and Health practitioners, the layman can find this book useful.

This is a book to be slowly digested and explored. My primary Yoga Therapy teacher has written a brilliant and detailed guide to the breath and how it affects all aspects of our health. I'll be working my way through it for some time.
