Buy the DVD and RELAX Dec 20, 2008
Having practiced yoga over 3 decades, and qi gong the past 6 years, I own wide collection of yoga practice videos. Max Strom's "Learn to Breathe" is far and away unique from the rest. The video is beautifully done, and the practice is deceptively easy to do, yet the results are phenomenal. Following Max's breathing practice I better handle whatever comes my way thruout my day. Do yourself a favor and buy this DVD. You won't be disappointed.

A basic necessity for every yogi Mar 16, 2008
I was lucky enough to be a beginner studying with Max, and I have to say that his emphasis on breathing is what makes his yoga practice. Drawing from all his teachings on breathing over the years of teaching, he's made a perfectly simple, elegant, and instructive DVD which will teach you all the basics of breathing and how central it is to all our life, not just our yoga practice.
There's nothing esoteric about it, no strange jargon, just some simple lessons about our breath and beginning exercises that easily incorporate into your practice. It is suitable for all ages, conditions of health, and even locations... you'll find yourself practicing these techniques in your most uncomfortable situations. I would say this video is a great addition to one's yoga practice, but I wonder if anybody really has a yoga practice without such an understanding of breath.

For a tired mom I find this DVD to be both relaxing and restorative so it gives me the energy I need to be present with my babies. This DVD can be done in the morning or at night or anytime really...it's a great tool for a tired mom! For all levels!

A valuable introduction to Pranayama Feb 16, 2008
Max Strom is a gifted teacher who in his new DVD exposes us to different forms of breathwork, or pranayama. Pranayama is a tool that has been used for thousands of years to calm the body and mind or achieve sprirtual transformation. This DVD is simple to use and easy to understand. Max has a calm, gentle energy that ties the whole DVD together. Highly recomended.

Beautiful. Inspiring. Life Changing.
Mr. Strom's latest DVD is another example of his profound and accessible style of teaching. I write this review out of deep respect for his work.
If you are looking for tools to lift your health and well being to another level you found a good one.
Whether you decide to integrate the breath work taught on this DVD into your yoga practice or into your daily life, you will notice tremendous changes. Expansion, deep peace and happiness are just some of the side effects you might experience.
As someone who has taken many of Mr. Strom's workshops and as the manager of a large yoga center in the San Francisco Bay Area I do recommend his teachings highly and on a daily basis. It is an honor to spread the word about the gifts he brings into this world. He is a heart-centered, intelligent, and innovative teacher. Someone you trust from the bottom of your heart. Check his website [...] - if you ever have the opportunity to experience him in person, don't let it pass. He teaches around the world and yet, he remains humble, sweet, and accessible. You will love him.
