Most people give little thought to how they breathe—but if they want to have more energy, be more alert, and improve their exercise and sport performance, they should, says renowned author, dancer, and movement educator Eric Franklin.

“Breathing is essential to our survival, it is necessary for energy production, and it is something we do about 20,000 times a day,” says Franklin, who has taught at various universities and ballets and coached world champions and Cirque du Soleil artists in his Franklin Method. “We stand to benefit if we improve our breathing.”

Sequencing asanas isn't random in traditional Hatha Yoga, poses are chosen and ordered according to their corresponding chakras, or energy centers, to create a practice that's both physically and energetically intentional.

Hatha Yoga brings this ancient sequencing principle to life for modern practitioners. Written by renowned yoga teacher trainers Ram Jain and Michèle Hauswirth, the book details over 200 asanas with alignment cues, contraindications, and modifications suited to different experience levels. Readers also get sample sequences of varying lengths, built to help practitioners create safe, holistic Hatha Yoga practices that align with their own goals.

We finally have a physical copy of Prescribing Movement As Medicine!

This was the book I always wanted to write. It’s great to see years of work finally turned into a real book.

My goal was to take the science around exercise, health, and longevity and turn it into something practical that coaches can actually use with the people standing in front of them.

Thank you to everyone who helped make it happen, and to everyone who has already bought a copy. I really appreciate the support.

Prescribing Movement As Medicine is officially available now. Head to Human Kinetics or Amazon to order.

And on September 26th, we’re celebrating the only way that makes sense: with a workout at MBSC.

NEW PODCAST EPISODE: Training tactical athletes, with Dr. Jay Dawes and Dr. Katie Sell

Tactical personnel like firefighters, law enforcement officials, and military live in a high-stakes environment that requires them to be conditioned for the challenges they face. In this episode, Dr. Jay Dawes and Dr. Katie Sell, co-editors of NSCA's Essentials of Tactical Strength and Conditioning, Second Edition, discuss the importance of tactical strength and conditioning training, testing and assessing, and the value of understanding and appreciating the community of each group.

What counts as a "meaningful gain" looks completely different depending on your training age, beginners can see rapid strength jumps that would take an advanced lifter years to achieve. Understanding that shift helps you approach training differently.

Written by Dr. Pak, the book teaches readers how to find their minimum effective dose (MED), the smallest amount of training needed to keep producing real results at any experience level. Sample programs and practical examples help readers apply MED to their own lifestyle and goals, backed by easily digestible chapters on resistance training fundamentals, nutrition, and recovery. Grounded in years of scientific research, this is a resource for anyone who wants results without wasting time on unnecessary training volume.

Available on the Human Kinetics website.
