Our Reviews
Dan Brule
World’s foremost expert and renowned pioneer in the field of breathwork
You Are Breath is a delightful and beautifully illustrated little book.
And a very important one because it aims to bring breath awareness to children. Breathwork is being introduced into school children all around the world. The practice of conscious breathing helps young people to regulate their energy and to manage their emotions. Conscious breathing increases focus and concentration, stirs creativity, and increases resilience. For children, this little book just might open the door to all these proven benefits! What a wonderful contribution to a child's social and emotional development!
Bravo Manisha!

It is never too early to start and Manisha Sood has put together a treasure trove to let our children explore the well-springs of spirituality that lie within us. The text and the lovely illustrations are inspired by the natural curiosity which comes instinctively to all children. What is really amazing about “You are Forever” is that it draws upon Manisha’s own living experience bringing up a gifted child, responding to his simple yet profound questions about the wonderful world around us. This will delight the young as well as the not so young with its celebration of innocence and deeply humanistic impulses.
