There are at least a hundred ways to breathe. Perhaps more. Why do we classify some types of breathing as passive and others as active? Can holding your breath be a rest from intense breathing activity?
Breathing movements are extremely varied. Most often, we do not notice them, since they are performed unconsciously and intersect with other body movements that are performed for other purposes unrelated to breathing.
All forms of breathing are initially based on two basic mechanisms and their variations, allowing for all sorts of combinations.
This book allows you to study the breathing movements, their sequence, the anatomical structures involved and the forces at work, and also to practice with the help of numerous exercises.
As you read, you will come to the conclusion that no breathing method in itself can be called right or wrong. Each of them is unique in its own way and is appropriate in certain circumstances to achieve a particular goal.
The reader will have to rethink many widespread myths and preconceived notions about the work of muscles in the process of breathing.
The book is intended for a wide range of professionals whose work is related to breathing:
• specialists in the field of kinesiotherapy and psychomotorics, midwives
• physical education teachers, aquagymnastics, sports trainers, yoga and meditation instructors
• artists: musicians, singers, mimes, theater and circus actors
• teachers, journalists, lawyers
• phoniatrists, speech production specialists
• relaxologists, sophrologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, psychologists, psychoanalysts
