Life starts with breathing when we first open our eyes. We naturally breathe correctly during infancy and early childhood. Babies don’t lose their voices when they cry loudly because they know how to breathe correctly.

Forgetting to breathe correctly under emotional changes can decrease our quality of life, make us feel unwell, and lead to health problems.

You will be surprised by the improvement in your memory and focus. By maintaining correct breathing habits, you can reduce stress levels and stay focused on the present moment.

Observing an increase in creativity is possible when correct breathing becomes a habit. After thinking about topics for a long time, you can suddenly develop great ideas that you couldn't come up with before.
