Yoga of Breath: A Step-by-Step Guide to Pranayama by Richard Rosen

The Yoga of Breath by Richard Rosen introduces pranayama as a complement to posture-based yoga. Illustrated exercises develop breath and body awareness, alongside discussion of history, philosophy, props and approaches to regular practice.

Published by Shambhala, it offers a gradual foundation rather than a challenge to push breathing limits. Practice comfortably and seek qualified guidance when health conditions or unfamiliar techniques call for it.
