One Half-Breath At A Time

The goal all along was to connect each technique, each practice included in the book to its own course. Finally, here it is! A sort of ultimate edition of the book, this course includes all the text of One Half-Breath At A Time plus the complete audiobook. Additionally, graphics and images are all full color and full size! Citations will soon include either the full referenced text or a link where you can find it. Each technique’s course is sold separately.
