If there's one thing my yoga classes have taught me it's the value of deep breathing to calm yourself and over the years I've learned various techniques which I find very useful in stressful moments.
Sometimes though it's easier said than done and listening to a CD that guides you through the stages for a complete yogic breath is an excellent aid.
Susan Smith's voice is confident and pleasant to listen to. The instructions are clear and eay to follow and the whole process takes just over 20 minutes.
Susan recommends that you listen to the Breathe Easy CD and follow the practice every day for maximum benefits. However better three times a week than not at all!
The first two tracks are the intro and instructions which can be skipped once you are familiar with them. Then follows Breath Observation, 3-part Breathing and the Complete Breath.
Breathe Easy something anyone can do and you might even be able to persuade children and teens to follow it too!
In a study, Breathe Easy was used by a control group of men and women ranging from aged 30 to 75. Of those taking part:
I would certainly recommend Breathe Easy to anyone who needs to find a few moments of calm - and who doesn't?
