– Breathing technique to eliminate stress

– Ancient wisdom in a present context
Stress influences our lives in daily basis, often the mind hangs on to anger, guilt or regret about the past, or is affected by anxiety and worries about the future. This oscillation of the mind between the past and the future causes tension and stress for us and for the people around us.
Breath is the link between body and mind and it is the key to handle our emotions to deal with personal and professional challenges, to live life in fullest potential.
