I have been dealing with a progressively worsening skin issue for almost 4 years now, which was thought to be treatment resistant guttate psoriasis. That, paired with an osteoarthritis diagnosis at the same time the skin issues started, has made for a non-stop, financially draining rollercoaster of dermatologists, rheumatologists, corticosteroids, creams, pain pills, salt baths, phototherapy, traditional chinese medicine, ayurvedic specialists, acupuncture, osteopathy and any other healing modality I could find to help put the breaks on what was happening to my body.

In today's world of high tech gadgets, constant connected-ness and multitasking at an Olympic level, it's all too easy to forget about what matters most in life.

Your breath. Without breath, well, you're basically a goner.
