The book challenges the widespread belief promoted since the 1960s that deep breathing and expelling CO2 are beneficial. It argues that hyperventilation, often encouraged in yoga practices, actually decreases oxygen levels in cells. Drawing on numerous clinical studies, the author emphasizes the importance of carbon dioxide for overall health, presenting a counter-narrative to conventional wisdom in yoga and breathing techniques.
