Summary:
The Hindu-Yogi Science of Breath presents the idea that breath is not merely air but a carrier of prana, the vital life energy that influences physical health, mental clarity, and spiritual development. The book explains that most people breathe shallowly and teaches methods of complete, deep, and rhythmic breathing to fully engage the lungs and increase vitality. It outlines several classic pranayama techniques—such as the Complete Breath and alternate-nostril breathing—describing how they can improve circulation, calm the nervous system, strengthen the mind, and prepare practitioners for deeper states of meditation. Ultimately, it emphasizes that mastery of the breath is a gateway to mastery of the body and mind.


Thoughts and impression:
To get yourself ready for comfortable mediation, you really need some basics like good asana, pranayama, and a few other supportive practices. The book of the hindu-yogi science of breath is a great start for pranayama as it's short, easy to read, and still covers everything you need.
