Breath Cards

The ultimate card deck dedicated to making breathwork an accessible, fun, self-directed journey that easily integrates into daily life

Let your breath be your guide. These are the opening words on the path to your new breathwork practice. Give yourself a moment to notice your breath. Right now, is it short, restricted, shallow, or quick? If you're feeling stressed, unwell, frequently caught in defensive reaction or if you struggle with sleep, working with your breath may be the built-in resource you hadn't thought to use.

Whether you're an athlete, spiritual explorer, or just someone trying to live your best life, breath is the most reliable tool you have to elevate your performance and regulate your mood, as it's one that is always available to you. "Your breath can fill you with energy, soothe and calm you, or even allow you to access altered states of being," says Isabel Tew, "but only when used correctly!" With Breath Cards, this expert instructor shares a first-of-its-kind resource for exploring the many varieties of breathwork.

Intuitive and easy to use, each card clearly describes a complete breathing technique, with hand-drawn illustrations and rich, concise guidance. The cards are organized in four color-coded categories--Calm, Energize, Release, and Wild--enabling you to easily personalize your own energetic dynamics. Cards are also labeled as Foundational, Intermediate, and Master, so you'll know exactly where to start and how to progress based on your own comfort level. You'll also discover:

- Suggested card uses--from simple reminders to advanced sequencing

- How to set up for success before, during, and after your practice

- Practice cautions to be aware of

- Details on asana, mudra, drishti, and mantra practices

Breathwork's numerous benefits are well-documented--including improved sleep, physical fitness, self-awareness, immune response, emotional regulation, and much more. With an introductory card, 57 breath cards, five sequence cards, and a companion guidebook, Breath Cards is an indispensable resource for creating your own breathwork practice for greater health, fulfillment, and joy.
