Dave Kalama's new "breath" article...

[noa]

I must admit to having become a bit of a fan of Dave Kalama's blog. What a great surprise when I found today a story regarding one of my life's paths.
As a yoga teacher I specialize in the art and science of pranayama which very roughly speaking deals with vital energy, physical and mental control throught the use of breath control excercises.
Dave's article has a link that explains some of the basic concepts of this yogic field.
Through personal experience I know the potential of breathing and the enormous benefits it can bring both in sports and everyday health.
As a matter of fact, I have just returned from a five month trip to India where I furthered my studies with one of the last remaining gurus in pranayama Sri O.P. Tiwari.   
So I would like to thank and congratulate Dave for bringing this subject to people's attention and urge anyone who wants to improve their health with some easy practices to read this article.
Pranayama is a huge science of it's own but even some basic excesises can go a long way.

That can be my excuse for not doing well at the w/e race.. I was putting in 100% but I was only breathing at 80%.. Maybe that's why I faded.. It's interesting stuff.

Just keep in mind that the quantity of O2 we absorb comes through the quality of one's breathing technique. It's mostly in the how and less in the how much.
Interestingly everyone spends their lives breathing without really knowing how it should be done.

We must try this out in the morning David.
