Breathing is essential for physical life, and learning to get all we can out of our breath is central to our mental health and well-being. Scientific research has proven again and again how controlling our breathing consciously can lower the heart rate, improve cognitive responses, lower the amount of cortisol in the body, and activate our parasympathetic nervous system — all of which leads to lower anxiety and a sense of calm and peace. Such fascinating studies confirm what the yogic community has intuitively known since ancient times. In our world today, however, such tools and knowledge are even more vital to learn and understand.
