"Richard Rosen's new book The Yoga of Breath is a welcome
addition to the few pranayama literature issued in the past decade
or so; it will help dedicated yogis keep their spiritual
instruments properly strung and finely tuned." —Yoga
Journal
"Richard Rosen has written a beautiful and substantial work on
pranayama. It is at once modern and classical. Brilliantly engaging
and accessible, it is a guide to practice that can become a
companion for life. I recommend it unequivocally to students and
teachers alike." —Patricia Walden, cofounder of the B. K. S.
Iyengar Yoga Studio
"Pranayama is a vitally important part of traditional Hatha-Yoga.
Richard Rosen has rendered a most valuable yeoman service by making
this widely neglected practice accessible to Western practitioners.
I highly recommend this work." —George Feuerstein, Ph.D., author
of The Shambhala Guide to Yoga
"Richard Rosen acts as our pranayama tour guide by honestly sharing
his own travels, both inward and outward. And he has done it the
way all great teachers do: He points to the map and then makes sure
we go on our own journey and don't just keep looking at his
finger. The Yoga of Breath shows us how to find time, how
to work with our mind, cultivate patience, experience more
spaciousness, and be playful—all that by breathing in and breathing
out. I'm inspired!" —Cyndi Lee, director of the Om Yoga Center
