Therapeutic breathwork has become an important component of many healthcare and psychotherapeutic interventions, as well as being an essential aspect of yoga practices based in ancient wisdom traditions.  Therapeutic Breathwork: Clinical Science and Practice in Healthcare and Yoga  translates respiratory science and ancient wisdom into practical guidance for therapeutic breathwork that is individually tailored and person-centered. Therapeutic Breathwork encourages a four-part process of understanding the challenges of the person being served, carefully assessing context and root causes of presented challenges, co-creating clear goals and optimistic motivation, and then offering breath, breathing, and breathwork practices that are optimally designed and individually-tailored based on a deep understanding of each breather’s context and personhood. 

 Therapeutic Breathwork familiarizes healthcare providers and yoga professionals who use therapeutic breathwork in their clinical practice with the science, psychology, and yoga-based pedagogy of breath and breathing. It discusses modern respiratory science, inviting learners to apply these principles practically and flexibly to create accessible, tailored, and person-centered therapeutic breathwork practices. Practical considerations are carefully outlined for a variety of breathing practices and discussed to optimize accessibility and tailoring across the diverse patient and student populations represented in healthcare, yoga settings, and other therapeutic contexts. The book offers clear instructions, person-centered guidelines, careful suggestions for cuing, sample intervention scripts, and wise guidance for adapting and tailoring breathwork to the bioindividuality and diversity of clients, patients, and yoga students.
