He has engaged Arnie Kotler, who has edited works by

Thich Nhat Hanh, the Dalai Lama, Jack Kornfield, Meir Schneider, Laura Nasi MD, and0

Joanna Macy. Robert’s brilliance and intimacy with the breathing body combined with

Arnie’s editorial skills can produce an extraordinary book that will be of significant value to

In The Breathable Body: Transforming Your World and Your Life, One Breath at a Time, Robert Litman shares the insights and practices he has discovered during more than 30 years of professional experience in conscious breathing and movement. Born with breathing difficulties and suffering from asthma as a child, Robert found ways to overcome his own childhood

PTSD and now shares trauma-sensitive teachings to help people breathe and live better.

 

By changing how you breathe, you can change your life—including alleviating symptoms of asthma, snoring, sleep apnea, insomnia, anxiety, panic attacks, digestive difficulties, and

fatigue. The techniques in this book will teach you how to support and protect your body and its respiratory system. Through conscious breathing, movement, sound, and a clear understanding of anatomy and respiration, we learn habits that support healthy and natural breathing.

 

WHY THE BREATHABLE BODY, BY ROBERT LITMAN, IS SORELY NEEDED AT THIS TIME:

Robert has acquired a body of wisdom during his thirty-plus years of teaching breathing and movement. And learning healthy breathing is more important than ever with the stresses of

our time and the collapse of the fundamental safety net of clean air. The Breathable Body

focuses on how to bring awareness to our breathing as the first step in learning to care for our health. Learning how to partner awareness, breath, and body and develop an intimate relationship with this living process serves our wholeness and reduces the likelihood of

breathing-related disorders. Two years ago, journalist James Nestor authored a scientific,

cultural, spiritual, and evolutionary history of the way we humans breathe titled Breath: The

New Science of a Lost Art. It was on the New York Times bestseller list for weeks, and NPR named it the best book of 2020. This is the perfect time for Robert’s book to be available to

deepen the conversation.

 

For more than 30 years, Robert Litman has guided artists, musicians, health professionals,

athletes, activists, and countless others to restore healthy breathing rhythms, structural

alignment, and coordinated movement. He founded The Breathable Body in 2004 and

co-developed the Wellsprings Practitioner Program with Emilie Conrad, founder of the

movement practice called Continuum. Robert is a certified breathing behavior analyst from

the Graduate School of Behavioral Health Science and a registered educator and trainer of

the Buteyko Breathing Educators Association (BBEA). He was a preceptor at the University of Arizona School of Integrative Medicine, teaching The Breathable Body to visiting doctors for Dr. Andrew Weil.
