Summary: 4 Stars
I got this quite a while ago and was very excited about doing the tape. But while I was excited initially and actually felt good I stopped doing them because I got busy with a project at work and never really went back to it. I was cleaning out my tape library and came across the tape. I started doing the exercises and realized just how good they were and just how out of shape I was. Some of the exercises are not easy but she does a wonderful job of explaining how to do them and what you can do as alternatives as you develop your technique. She seems the ever patient teacher as she calmly moves you along to better breathing.
Summary of The Art of Breathing: 6 Simple Lessons to Improve Performance, Health, and Well-Being
According to the ancient Chinese discipline of chi kung (pronounced chee gung), the body's energy is released by the air breathed into it. Zi, a classically trained American singer raised in China, has adapted that idea in an intriguing method she calls chi yi. (Chi means breath, breathing or air.) Her premise is that controlled breathing can create new sources of life-enhancing energy. In six concise, uncomplicated lessons she shows how to tap into that energy through a range of exercises (accompanied by line drawings), imagery and situational applications. Her techniques for using the body's inner dynamics (the Chinese "core") will be especially valuable in relieving stress, building stamina and engaging in sports.General Books
