A tool to keep you calm; increase your energy; clarify your thinking; release muscle tightness; enhance your physical, emotional, and spiritual health—even give you a youthful glow.

In this rich guide to our body&’s greatest wellness resource, Margaret Townsend draws on her three decades as a professional breathwork facilitator to offer a complete program of exercises, inspiring stories, prompts, and more to help readers unlock the innate wisdom of their breath. Learn the best ways to wake the body up in the morning and wind it down at night. How to strengthen the mind-body connection to boost the immune system and decrease inflammation. How to manage specific emotions including anger, fear, anxiety, worry, sadness, grief, fatigue, and stress. How to increase self-compassion and find a calmer, more balanced state. Even how to breathe better while wearing a face mask. Given that people inhale and exhale roughly 20,000 times a day, we have countless opportunities to make the most of our breath. Here&’s how to start.
