Breathing in Kaivalya's teaching
Kaivalya's article on breathing explained why the centre included attention to the breath in its teaching. It linked that attention with relaxation and with the body's ordinary need for oxygen.
The original discussion made broad claims about the effects of breathing on physical and mental wellbeing. The useful distinction in this overview is between the role of breathing exercises in the centre's practice and those wider health claims, which were the author's explanation rather than individual medical guidance.
