Review Quotes:
Praise for THE BREATHING CURE FOR YOGA: APPLYING THE SCIENCE BEHIND ANCIENT WISDOM by Patrick McKeown
"In your hands is the operating manual for new and old yogis alike. For the past 20 years, McKeown has researched why so many of us breathe so poorly and how we can do it better and improve our lives. He's spent several more years piecing together this carefully constructed compendium of yoga knowledge and distilling it into step-by-step directions, illustrations, scientific context, biomechanics, biochemistry, and more! My advice: Take a seat, shut your mouth, breathe it in."
