“The breath is an integral part of overall body functioning, increasing volume capacity, oxygenation, and other physiological changes. Full consistent inhalation and exhalation helps the circulatory system nourish all the tissues with oxygen rich blood while carrying away impurities and metabolic waste. Pilates referred to this cleansing mechanism as the internal shower which resulted in mental and physical invigoration and rejuvenation.”
