Publisher's Synopsis
Do you often spend time struggling to catch your breath?
Whether you are suffering from a pulmonary disease or just the effects of aging, the fight for a full breath can be annoying, painful, and even frightening. The simplest of tasks, like going up the stairs or walking down the block, can lead to wheezing and panic. Stop the struggle, and learn how to breathe better and deeper.

- different poses that can help you breathe deeper,
- the best ways to effectively recover your breath,
