In the newly released DVD “Breathe – The Perfect Harmony of Breathing” (120 minutes, $19.95) master, certified and mesmerizing yoga instructor Fabio Andrico and Argentine super-model and actress Yamila Diaz demonstrate simple but effective exercises that deepen and clarify the experience of natural, relaxed breathing. These exercises were developed by Fabio Andrico and inspired by his experience of many yoga systems, especially the rich tradition of Yantra Yoga. Yantra Yoga is an ancient Tibetan yoga based on positions and movements, combined with conscious breathing. The unique breathing techniques found in this video can help coordinate and harmonize one’s personal energy so that the mind can relax and find its authentic balance. Harmony in breathing is harmony in life. With the help of Fabio and Yamila, beginner and expert yoga practitioners will find exercises that deepen and clarify their experience of breathing. This ground-breaking technique enables the discovery of a new dimension of relaxed energy in modern life. Harmony in life means enjoying the beauty of existence. The Tibetan tradition of Yantra Yoga emphasizes the importance of a complete, calm, and harmonious breath. The exercises in this program, inspired by this ancient tradition, are designed as a simple way to apply this invaluable knowledge in everyday life. Program highlights include: Discovering and training abdominal breathing; Innovative exercises to clarify the four phases of complete breathing; Easy routine for everyday life; and Breathing with awareness and relaxation. According to Fabio Andrico, “If we have relaxed control and awareness of our breathing, it becomes complete and harmonious. Perfect breathing means strong, relaxed energy in action.”
