Course Description
The Art of Breathing: Mastery for Life's Every Moment
Breathing: an involuntary act so vital, yet how often do we pause to truly understand its potential? The Art of Breathing delves deep into harnessing the full magnitude of this life-affirming act, transforming it into a tool that enhances every facet of our daily lives.
Most people, unknowingly, use merely a fraction of their breathing capacity. Our course aims to shed light on this innate powerhouse within you. We will journey through realms from traditional yoga and mindful meditation to techniques for peak performance and emotional equilibrium. Contrary to what one might assume, the art of breathing isn't something to be learnt anew; it's an art to be remembered.
Astonishingly, each of us entered this world as a maestro in this art. Life's twists and turns, stresses and strains, often lead us away from this inborn mastery. Physical, mental, and emotional patterns set in, making us forget our inherent breathing prowess. The Art of Breathing endeavors to reignite this innate skill, empowering you to retake command of your body, thoughts, and emotions. The magic doesn't end at self-transformation; your newfound equilibrium will radiate, becoming a beacon of positivity for those around you.
As you embark on this transformative odyssey, you'll experience a convergence of your current self with the version you've always aspired to be. This harmony, once achieved, holds the promise of an enduring, enriched existence.

Course Lessons
Lesson 1 : Course Introduction
Breathing is living. You have been breathing for as long as you exist, long before you knew you were breathing.Lesson 2 : Breathing, The Physiology (Or How It Works)
Don't worry: This is not supposed to be a biology course. There are a few technical terms in this lesson, but they will prove to be quite important as we move along to other lessons.Lesson 3 : Creating a Breathing Routine
When magician/illusionist David Blaine talks about his attempts to break the world record for holding his breath, he talks about his "purge breathing" routine.Lesson 4 : Controlling Your Breathing
Controlling your breathing is directly related to controlling your thoughts and emotions.Lesson 5 : Breathing and Emotional Health
Your emotional health should be, first and foremost, controlled by -- well, you. It's yours. "Easier said than done," you are probably thinking.Lesson 6 : The Basics of Breathing and Meditation
Breathing and Meditation have a reciprocal relationship: Controlled breathing will help you meditate, and meditating will help you with controlled breathing.Lesson 7 : The Basics of Breathing and Yoga
Some people say yoga and meditation are related; some say they're not. Though the two practices do share a few things -- such as attempting to achieve a focused point and state -- when it comes to breathing, they are not very similar.Lesson 8 : Performance Breathing
We realize that performance is quite a broad term, and can mean a variety of things. What we mean by performance breathing here is breathing for any type of activity in which you have a goal you are trying to achieve.Lesson 9 : Giving Voice to Your Breathing
There would be no voice without breathing. Breath and voice are intimately connected: Our breathing responds and reacts to our thoughts and feelings!Lesson 10 : Avoiding (and getting rid of) Bad Habits
Most of us, some more than others, have ingrained habits that may be limiting or preventing a natural and well-developed breath flow. We will see that, as we grow up, we acquire a considerable number of habits that may prevent us from breathing fully.Lesson 11 : A Philosophical Look
Breathing is living. It is undeniable that we affect the lives of other people, animals, and living things, directly and indirectly, through our actions.Lesson 12 : Some Exercises
Here you will find a few exercises that you may find useful to refer to and practice when you need to warm up your body, voice, or mind.
