Breath

Synopsis

Breathing is vital to our health, yet humans have forgotten how to do it correctly, leading to serious consequences. Journalist James Nestor explores this issue, finding answers not in labs but in ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, choir schools, and polluted cities. He investigates ancient practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo, and works with experts to test these methods.

Modern research shows that small changes in breathing can improve athletic performance, rejuvenate organs, stop snoring, asthma, and autoimmune diseases, and even straighten spines. Drawing on ancient texts and recent studies, Breath challenges what we know about this essential function, promising to change how you breathe forever.
