Take a Breath Book

The science that we all need to understand

This book examines the direct and causal link between the stress and anxiety of modern life, and the way humans breathe.

At Take a Breath we believe that everyone needs to understand the direct and causal link
between our stress and overwhelm, and the way we breathe.

We’re taking too many breaths. The pace and pressure of modern life has meant our breathing has shifted, from where it’s supposed to sit in our belly, into our chest. And when we shallow breathe, into our chest, it intricately changes our state.

It’s caused a systemic anxiety state, globally.

It’s not been enough though, to simply tell people to breathe well – breathing sounds too simple.

So, Take a Breath explains the science.

When we understand the science – the direct and causal link between anxiety, stress, and health; and the way we breathe

– then, we will start to see a difference.
