“Our breath, like our heartbeat, is the most reliable rhythm in our lives. It is the one thing we can always count on, whether we are awake or asleep, healthy or sick. When we breathe consciously, we connect with this natural rhythm and allow it to restore balance and harmony to our bodies and minds.” – Dr. Donna Farhi
