Deep relaxation, pain management, lowered blood pressure, more restful sleep, and increased energy are some of the many benefits of consciously improving our breathing.

Only 10% of the body's energy comes from the food we eat. Oxygen is the source of most of the body's energy, and is vital for every physiological process. A well-oxygenated system can be a deterrent to disease. Studies have shown that invasive pathogens such as HIV and cancer cells cannot survive in high levels of oxygen. Oxygen has been shown to reduce heart disease, combat infections, and has proven beneficial in treating all sorts of conditions, from allergies and the flu, to diseases such as Parkinson's, arthritis and hepatitis.
