which is *the* key to strength training. While breathing correctly
may seem simple and natural to do, but it's hard to explain. Sabin

right people, to help you move, lift and perform better." -Dan
John, lifting and throwing coach, Highland Games competitor, and

impactful proper breathing is, and give you actionable and
practical advice to implement properly into your own training."

during physical movements to relaxing and fall asleep faster. Both
ends of the spectrum and everything in between are covered by this
book and Dr. Belisa's coaching. She is making lives better with
what she does and writes."

for Warriors inflates your awareness and deflates myth while giving
practical training tips for using your own wind instrument. Belisa
and Brian turn up the gas on the most important vital sign for
humans, breath. The pages deftly flow through the history of breath
training (yogis, greeks, romans, elite athletes, warriors!) along
with research and modern day experimentation. Whether you're an
athlete, clinician, a recovering smoker or curious about how to
improve your stress resilience, you'll never think about your lungs
the same way."

of training, or even more so."
