Description:
Much of the Western world was completely unaware of the profound impact of the breath on the body and mind until the 1970s. It was during this
time that Swami Rama astonished physiologists by demonstrating perfect control over his heart rate and brain waves―something Western
scientists didnt believe humans could possibly achieve. In this book, Swami Rama shares some of the basic breathing techniques practiced by
Himalayan yogis, so that you too can experience the profound effects of pranayama and breath control.The goal of Science of Breath is to present
knowledge and practices regarding the breath in a way that can be applied to personal growth. This book is a masterful guide to systematically
identifying bad breathing habits, replacing those habits with healthy breathing patterns, and developing control over pranic flow. Learn how to
develop and master the link between your body and mind through the understanding of the breath. With increased awareness and control of the
subtle aspects of breathing, one can effect deep physical and psychological changes and begin to master the roaming tendencies of the mind.
Science of Breath opens the door to a new way of being, providing a powerful tool in the pursuit of holistic health and personal growth.

This is an oldie, but a goody. The first edition came out in 1979, but as its intent is to provide an overview of the anatomy and physiology of breath
for yoga practitioners, the fact that it doesn’t access the bleeding edge of respiratory science isn’t all that detrimental.This short book consists of
four chapters. Two chapters are by the famous yogi Swami Rama, and the other two are written by medical doctors. The first chapter is an
introduction to breath from the yogic perspective. It both explains why it’s so important to understand and work with breath and introduces the
mythic physiology (prana, nadi, etc.) that has historically been used to explain pranayama (breath exercises.)The second chapter is written by Dr.
Alan Hymes and it explains the mechanics of respiration. While Chapter 2 focuses on the anatomy of breathing, it begins with an explanation of
cellular respiration to introduce the role of breath in powering muscles. There is a fine explanation of the operation of the diaphragm and the
intercostal muscles in breathing.Chapter 3 is written by Dr. Rudolph Ballentine, and it delves into the role of the nose and nasal cavities in
respiration. Breathing through the nose is emphasized in both yoga and many other systems of breath training (e.g. the Buteyko and Wim Hof
methods.) This is because the nasal cavities perform many useful functions such as moisturizing and warming air, capturing pollutants, and extract
heating and moisture from exhaled breath. Besides exploring nasal anatomy and physiology, Dr. Ballentine describes jala neti shatkarma (nasal
cleansing with salt water) and nadi shoudhana (alternate nostril breathing.)The final chapter, written by Swami Rama, mostly describes various
techniques of pranayama (breathing exercises) and related practices bandhas and mudras (locks and seals in which bodily parts are contracted or
constricted.) However, the chapter begins with a mix of physiology and mythic physiology. That is, it explains some topics not addressed earlier--
such as the interaction between the nervous and the cardiovascular systems as well as chakra.My standing complaint about books that weave
together science and pseudo-science is mitigated a bit herein. My problem with putting these ideas together is that it can be difficult for the reader
to determine what concepts reflect reality and which offer models to help one visualize energy. However, except for the last chapter, this book
does a good job of keeping these ideas separate. The chapters by the medical doctors present the science with minimal intrusion of unscientific
concepts. Swami Rama does present science and mythology together, but not so much scrambled together in a confusing mish-mash.Chapters 2
through 4 use a number of graphics to help present the material. In the middle chapters these largely consist of line drawings to convey the relevant
anatomical features or physical actions. The last chapter adds photographs to demonstrate relevant postures. There is a page of recommended
readings, but it’s more of an advertisement for other books put out by the Himalayan Institute than the recommendation of books on the science of
breath.I found this book to be educational. It packs a lot of useful information into a concise package and is readable to a layman. I’d recommend
it for yoga practitioners and others who are engaged in breath work.
