You’ll learn how to breathe optimally during your workday, while exercising, when entering meditative and flow states, and for deep rest. And you’ll partner with your breath to discover deeper meaning in life. This book meets you, the breather, where you are with step-by-step actionable tools to improve your health, sleep, and well-being.“Matteo’s ‘tome’ on breathwork introduces the reader to a host of new, updated breathwork information that I’ve never personally discovered in any other breath literature.
