Blandine Calais-Germain is an
extremely talented person. As part
of my Pilates training, I read her Anatomyof Movement, which is an excellent, informative book with beautiful
illustrations she did using dancers as models. Anatomy of Breathing
explores the structures and functions of one of our basic activities with the
same thoroughness and grace.
In addition to the explanations
of which bones and muscles are involved, she provides discussions of why
different kinds of breathing are useful in different situations and exercises
that allow the reader to explore those options.
Whether one is interested in
anatomy, mindfulness, or performance, this book is a valuable resource.
