Stunning! This is a breathtaking book - literally and figuratively. As a daily meditation junkie, I love breathwork and this book brings it to LIFE. Highly recommended. This book should be on coffee tables around the world and in every studio, therapist office, Dr office, and classroom.

I have such love for this book full of wonderful illustrations and facts on how to utilise your breath to increase your wellbeing. I can see it providing much comfort in times or stress and it certainly is pretty too. Would love to have it in physical form in the future.

This beautifully illustrated book explores the mechanics of breathing and the benefits of doing it consciously, with easy to follow guides, to do it yourself without joining a class, whenever you need them.

Thanks to Adams Media and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.

This was an interesting and quick read. I loved most of the artwork through out and the way it was formatted made the book so easy to read and understand. I used some of the breathing techniques and while some are not necessarily for me, I will keep them in mind just in case.

This is a quick read due to the amount of visuals, which are colorful and nicely done. It felt like a children's book to me. I enjoyed the uplifting tone of the content.

Thanks very much for the free copy for review!!

This is a brightly illustrated book that will likely catch the reader's eye while learning something that may be new to them. The author gives a good introduction to mindful breathing, with practical tips that can work with a busy life. This is a book that would be helpful to people of all ages.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are my own."

I started reading this book to distract myself for negative thoughts and anxiety. I can 100% the single nostril breathing works, although it did make me light headed.

This is a book that does not take itself too seriously and I like that. The images are beautiful and the positivity is contagious.

Wow! Loved it! Engaging, colourful, informative, well designed, well researched - just easy to read. Much longer and in-depth than I anticipated!

"You inhale and exhale the cosmos" 🌌

Breathing is so underrated.

The vital life force of breathing connects the body and mind and it can change the way we feel and react particularly in response to stress. By focusing on breathing, the potential to improve physical and mental health becomes possible.

I expected to love this book and use it as a tool to decrease stress and anxiety but if anything, I think I felt less relaxed after reading it. Most of the material seemed geared towards a younger audience as it provided an introductory look at breathing. It overly focused on anatomy as it talked about the lungs, brain and neural pathways. It felt very similar to reading a textbook. I wasn't a fan of the illustrations and I found the use of exclamation points throughout to be very unsettling.

The spiritual connection to the cosmos, the oneness of humanity and the interconnection with others was introduced but it directed the book away from the ways to utilize the breath towards positive changes. I liked the inclusion of different breathing exercises and I'm already familiar with several from yoga practice but these only touched the surface. I expected so much more. One of the things I did appreciate and enjoy was an illustration that showed a series of affirmations and I bookmarked that for future reference. I truly believe that engaging in these exercises and affirmations can calm the nervous system and positively affect the body and mind. Unfortunately, this focus seemed to get lost in the science.

Every person is on a unique individual journey so even though I was disappointed, others may have a more favorable experience. Perhaps this book would be better suited to readers looking to learn more about the physiology of breathing and how the breath connects us with the universe but I had hoped for more ideas to actively use the breath to reduce the negative impact of stress and to open up possibilities for calm and relaxation.

Breathe Deep An Illustrated Guide to the Transformative Power of Breathing is a self help book that explores the mechanics of breathing and the benefits of doing it consciously. The book is full of pictures, tips and practical information on how to use the breath as a tool to transform the way you feel. It is a fun and accessible and suitable for anyone. Would also make a great gift book.

A comforting read with an adorable and colorful art style on the different characteristics of breath, as well as advice for numerous breathing exercises.

Thank you to Adams Media and NetGalley for a digital copy.

What a beautiful book! Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC for the purpose of this review. I was familiar with how important breath work is and breathing during yoga but this book goes deeper and I felt better after reading it. I was calm and collected and had a deep desire to practice deep breathing everyday. Five stars!

I am so glad this book exists! With beautiful illustrations and concise text, this book is like a Cliff’s Notes on breath work for the masses.

While other breath-focused books lean in hard on the scientific or spiritual aspects of the breath, Breathe Deep delivers clear and practical information about the physical, mental, and emotional properties of breath along with instructions for several different (super simple!) breathing techniques to try.

I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for a super accessible, effective, and down-to-earth guide to harnessing the full power of the breath.

Thank you to Adams Media and NetGalley for gifting me with an ARC to review. I loved it!

The content is mind blowing!

The colourful pages, the eye popping illustrations, the attention seeking words! It all blends so well and we are learning something so useful and mindful that we tend to ignore. Yes, who would have thought breathing mindfully would be this important and effective?!

This book provides all the important basic practical tips on breathing tips for everyday life and its benefits. I am sold and I am going for it one day at a time.

It’s so much fun learning from a book like that which actually helps the readers of any age.

Thank you, Adams Media, for the advance reading copy.
