    Essential for Yoga Teachers and Serious Mediation Students
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2014*

My own yoga teacher suggested this book when I began teaching meditation and yogic breathing techniques tools for as pain relief and stress management for people with advanced chronic medical conditions.I cannot speak highly enough of Richard Rosen's lucid introduction to  the profound effects of intentionally bringing one's full intention to the breath.  Most helpfully, he is superb at identifying and describing the subtle (as well as sometimes dramatic) shifts in our conscious awareness when we mindfully begin to explore the vast potential of Pranayama (more or less literally "breath control" from the Sanskrit) to transform consciousness.Richard Rosen has drawn not only from the voluminous Vedic texts of a wisdom tradition thousands of years old, but at least as usefully for contemporary students of yoga and mediation, he also excels in finding simple language to communicate his own experiences under the guidance of his teachers.This is rich stuff, and while I understand Mr. Rosen has also written even more advanced books on the fascinating topic of yogic breathing, myself, I have been returning to The Yoga of Breath for over a year now and still feel there is more here for me to glean from this extraordinary volume.My only caution might be that this book is not so appropriate for new students of yoga and/or mediation.  It takes a couple of years' regular practice to develop the proprioceptive awareness of the intersection of breath and energy within the human body.  For beginners, I'd strongly encourage you to first find a yoga or a mediation teacher with whom you sense a comfortable rapport and gain some experience of the possibilities yourself before you begin to try and make some sense of these phenomena with the help of Mr. Rosen's book.It's definitely experiential stuff, not mere academic theory to be comprehended intellectually, and some of the Pranayama practices can be strong medicine indeed for those not already well-grounded in a stable practice.  Without that solid foundation, some of the techniques certainly have the potential to knock loose long-buried emotional traumas and the like, and most people, I think, are better served traversing that sometimes rocky territory with a teacher intimately familiar with a terrain that may at first appear alien or unsettling to the new traveler.  There's no rush, you know, to get "there," and it's my opinion that personal transformation only becomes permanent and integrated in our individual lives when approached slowly, gently, and ever so thoroughly.If you are the sort of person who finds satisfaction in expensive seminars promising immediate improvement in all aspects of your life, well, by all means go for it, but one doubts you would find this understated--modest, even--book so satisfying.If, however, you are well-seasoned student gifted with a modicum of patience, or a yoga teacher interested in looking more deeply to enrich your perspective, I sincerely hope you find Mr. Rosen's observations at least as useful as they have proven for myself.

    Creative and Engaging - a book you will keep going back to, a MUST READ for anyone interested in Pranayama
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2017*

A wonderful book for all yogis interested in learning pranayama. Having personally spent time with Richard, I can attest to his depth of knowledge. He certainly knows what he is talking about -there is so much to learn here, it is an impressive use of the page, he packs an enormous amount of information in this very readable text. Through his many years of personal experience, Richard has written out this guide with wit, concise and useful explanations, and encouraging examples. Highly recommend.

    wonderful book - beautiful instruction
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2006*

The reviewers below fail to recognize there are different schools of yoga - with the attendant different approaches to pranayama.  In the Iyengar method - which Rosen employs - the approach is slow.  You begin with ujjayi breath, start to incorporate breath retention, i.e., viloma, and well down the road (i.e., months/years) start to incorporate alternate nostril, bastrika, etc.I began pranayama with an eclectic practice - pasted together from Integral Yoga, Sivanadana, various media (Shiva Rea, etc.), Kripalu.I find the most fulfillment with the Iyengar method.  Pranayama is slow and rewarding - gives me intimacy with myself.  Rosen's book is intelligent and well constructed - a door opening to that path.
