Review
"This excellent guide to better breathing has been revised to include a new epilogue and a collection of Zi's answers to frequently-asked questions about her unique Chi Yi method. She has integrated her understanding of the ancient Chinese discipline Chi Kung with her training and experience as a professional vocalist to develop Chi Yi, a program of breathing principles and exercises aimed to improve and strengthen the voice and increase overall energy, health, and well-being. I love the way both the book and the video combine 'left brain' exercises with 'right brain' Imagery Drills to foster both cognitive and imaginative awareness of breath, a vital element in so much of our spiritual, artistic, and therapeutic practices. Recommended."

Customer Reviews

one of the top 10 books on breathing exercises.
Nancy is a singing teacher. They MUST know how to improve the breathing though some are better at it then others. I believe Nancy is one of the best. She gave me good insights and accelerated my understanding of the strengthening of the voice for singing and speaking. I would have preferred more information aboout breathing's relationship to health and longevity but this book is a must for the serious student of the breath (or life).
