In the modern era, we spend a significant portion of our lives indoors, whether it's at home, work, or in various public spaces. It is within these indoor environments that we expect safety, comfort, and well-being. However, there is an invisible factor that profoundly impacts our lives—indoor air quality (IAQ).

With a keen focus on education, we will navigate the different aspects of IAQ assessment, providing guidance on how to identify potential risks and understand measurement techniques. We will shed light on the significance of monitoring and how it can shape our decisions and actions to ensure the air we breathe is healthy and safe. While exploring the book, you will encounter various chapters dedicated to the common indoor pollutants that plague our indoor spaces. We will uncover the secrets behind volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate matter, mold, radon, and other pollutants that can silently compromise our health and well-being. Moreover, we will examine their sources and equip you with the tools to mitigate and control them. Our journey will continue by focusing on the strategies and technologies available to improve IAQ. From effective ventilation systems to advanced air filtration and purification methods, we will explore a myriad of solutions that can transform the quality of the air we breathe. We will delve into design considerations, sustainability practices, and regulations that shape the IAQ landscape.

Book excerpt: Our knowledge of breathing has shaped our social history and philosophical beliefs since prehistory. Breathing occupied a spiritual status for the ancients, while today it is central to the practice of many forms of meditation, like Yoga. Over time physicians, scientists, and engineers have pieced together the intricate biological mechanisms of breathing to devise ever more sophisticated devices to support and maintain breathing indefinitely, from iron lungs to the modern ventilator. Breathing supplementary oxygen has allowed us to conquer Everest, travel to the Moon, and dive to ever greater ocean depths. We all expect to breathe fresh and clean air, but with an increase in air pollution that expectation is no longer being met. Today, respiratory viruses like COVID-19 are causing disasters both human and economical on a global scale. This is the story of breathing—a tale relevant to everyone.

Praise for Breath WorkOut Programs

Check out our Facebook Page for more Reviews Breathwork programme was the first structured programme I undertook with a view to improve my breathing and lung capacity. It was a great experience, as we concluded the 21 day run today. a) Improvement in the way I breathe and being conscious of it b) Most importantly, establishment of a regimen which is clearly very hard to achieve on your own c) Anu Lall’s dedication in making sure that everyone gets it. And getting us into the flow patiently. d) getting us to appreciate the nuances of breathing, diet, our physiology. Very much recommended. Everyone should do this course. *** With Breathing exercises for just over two weeks, I have experienced conscious breathing that was otherwise an involuntary activity. I see a difference in my reactions to a situation, have a grip of my effervescent emotions. The result: a better balanced being. I also see how we naturally adapt our breath in response to a particular emotion or an evolving situation. *** In just the first two days with YogaSmith, I found myself finally breathing through BOTH my nostrils, simultaneously. Then clearly. Both in & out! Certain breathing exercises relax my mind. Others energise me for my outdoor sporty activity. Yet another helps me balance my emotions.. mind & body benefit from breathing consciously, through science & simplicity. *** I attended the 21-day Breathwork program by YogaSmith and am so glad that I invested my time doing that. It was an extremely well structured course and Anu Lall is an excellent teacher. Day 1 itself was a revelation and I looked forward to every single day of practise. While I can list out the numerous benefits, to me what stands out is the realisation that I missed out on so much by not doing this earlier. *** Her mission to make the planet yoga and nature aligned as district from pooping pills and getting under rays of scanner is commendable. I have personally have almost 3 Kgs She makes things very easy by using very daily life examples and keeping the integrity of Sanskrit scriptures in place. *** Both of us absolutely loved the Pranayam classes. It was very much a learning experience for us and we are getting better at exhaling and Drishtis!

Download or read book Secret Power of Tantrik Breathing written by Swami Sivapriyananda and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-05-08 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores the secrets and benefits of alternate nostril breathing practices • Includes breathing techniques to help overcome infertility, bad luck, and illnesses • Explains the interactions of the vital energy of breath with the chakras and energy channels (nadis) There is an intimate relationship between breathing and our emotional states. When we are nervous or excited, our breath rate increases. Conversely, if we alter our rate of breathing, we can alter our emotional state. The ancient civilization of India developed methods for changing the emotions and states of consciousness through yogic meditation and pranayama (breath control). Secret Power of Tantrik Breathing teaches the advanced pranayama system of svaraodaya, which is based on the fact that we normally breathe freely through only one nostril at a time. In a healthy person, breathing changes roughly every one and a half hours from one nostril to the other, with each nostril imparting different qualities to one’s mental and physical state. The left nostril is cool, soothing, passive, and feminine in nature; the right is warm, energizing, active, and masculine. When the breath remains in one nostril for longer than normal, mental and physical illness can result. The goal of svaraodaya is to harmonize the breath from each nostril with the life task needing to be accomplished. This book explains how to practice this breath control and how the vital energy of breath interacts with the chakras and energy channels (nadis) to create overall balance and harmony. It also includes svaraodaya breathing techniques to help overcome illnesses, infertility, and bad luck; make predictions; and attain liberation from the cycle of rebirth.
