Bloomsbury presents The Breathing Revolution written and read by Yolanda Barker.

As featured in Hello!, OM Yoga & Lifestyle, Natural Health, Healthy Living, Yoga magazine and Women’s Fitness.

Breathing is at the core of everything we do. Breath is life.

In this inspiring and accessible book, yoga teacher and award-winning documentary filmmaker Yolanda Barker shows us the importance of better breathing, and provides a seven-day programme of practical exercises for readers to follow.

Drawing on her own experiences with anxiety and depression, the breathing practices she shares can help to ease symptoms of stress, enable us to sleep better, and calm us down during difficult situations. Grounding the information in science and her observations as a long-term yoga teacher, she also explains how these exercises work, and shines a light on the physiology of stress, and its effect on the body, mind and emotions.

Supported with science and enriched with sensitivity, understanding and personal experience, The Breathing Revolution is an empowering guide to breathing practices that can be truly life-changing.©2021 Yolanda Barker (P)2021 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Critic reviews

A practical guide to that most basic of bodily functions: breathing. If you, like me, have spent a lifetime not doing it “properly”, this mix of science and simple exercises is a bit of a game changer. (Sam Baker)
With research, practical exercises, anecdotes and advice, Yolanda Barker shows how breath practice and the knowledge gained through it are important and powerful resources to integrate into our daily lives.
This inspiring new book features a seven-day programme of practical exercises for readers to follow. Drawing on her own experiences with anxiety and depression, the author shares breathing practices to ease stress, enable better sleep and bring calm during difficult situations.
At last – a practical, compassionate, science-backed resource to support your mental health. Empowering for anyone who struggles with anxiety and depression. (Dr. Aseem Malhotra, cardiologist, author and health campaigner)
Just like breathing, this book is both simple and profound. I learned so much about physiology, neuroscience and psychology, and the breathing exercises are amazingly effective. A vital resource. (Stacey DeLooze)
An eloquently written and accessible guide to the breath and to breath work. The book has a wealth of information drawn from Yolanda's teaching experience and is supported by the latest scientific research. The comprehensive seven-day programme is easy-to-follow and will be of help to anyone who wants to reclaim their physical and mental health. (Charlie Taylor-Rugman, yoga teacher)

It's something we all take for granted, and yet Yolanda Barker helps us to see how vital and amazing the breath is. I really loved hearing her calm voice explain her research and guide me through the breathing exercises. I have so much more insight and awareness now about my own breath and how it affects my mood/health. I used to force my breathing to fit exercises mandated by yoga & meditation teachers but this book has probably changed my meditation practice for the better, for life.

A calming, fascinating listen (and read)
