Breathing Space is a story of the healing power of yoga in one woman’s life and an inspirational book for any woman not living the life she wants to live. Katrina was lost. She woke up one morning to find herself in a well-paying career she didn’t love and a relationship about which she had major doubts. Then she met Yoga Master Alan Finger...and the meeting changed her life. Like Katrina, most women today have periodically suffered from fear of failure, excessive self-criticism, body image distortion, and a need to balance their desire to be materially successful with the need to be creative. The 12 breathing exercises that end each chapter—unlocking the heart, core breathing, release, equalizing, balancing, and more—accompany Katrina’s year-long journey of self-discovery, as she incorporates the breathing techniques into her life, and thus begins to overcome her personal obstacles and discover the path to joy, peace, and serenity.
