Andy Caponigro in very simple and understandable manner describes very complicated techniques. Instructions are clear, thoughtful, honest and helpful. I found in it the new way thinking of pranayama. For the first time I understood that some techniques and methods work only in meditative mode. The book is pleasurable to reed. It I tried only basic techniques so far and they work very well, just as described in the book.

I consider this book to be highly valuable, as a result of the fact that it seems to present such an extraordinary array of profound ideas. Similarly, it is an easy and very interesting read ... and one finds that one can hardly wait, to try and practice all of the exercises contained within it.
The exercises themselves are amazing, due to the fact that they seem to do exactly what they are supposed to do...and also, because the effects are so immediate and substantial.
I love books, read quite a bit .... and consider this book to be something very special! It seems to be an incredible resource regarding the subject of "breath".

As a Yoga teacher I am always looking for things that concern pranayama. The breathing techniques in this book are wonderful. The Tarzan breath changed some wiring in my brain. It looks funny, though.

I bought this book as part of the Personal Well Being program at Windemere Institute of Healing Arts. It certainly was valuable to be taught some of the techniques as a group, but the book makes things I've never understood about breathing meditation make sense at last. It is personally powerful for me because I have always had issues with breathing since I had asthma as a toddler. I'm sure this will be my meditation "bible" for years to come.

I cant recommend this book enough! It's written in a clear and concise manner, in an easy to understand format, provides background information to explain each exercise, and covers all potential problems/pitfalls that you may experience. Its a wonderful resource, that I know I will continue to refer to in the future.

This is a very clear, well written book. My wife and I have started breath meditation and we're very excited about all the possibilities. We recommend this book to anyone interested in the science of breath.

Terrific book. Amazing insights into such a simple function as breating. Shows how breating consciously can enhance one's life and experience of one's spiritual potential and realization.
