Here is a taste of what the progression looks like:

Step 1: Observation Before you change how you breathe, you must observe how you currently breathe. The book guides you through lying in Savasana (Corpse Pose) and simply noticing the natural rhythm and pauses in your breath.

Step 3: The Middle Body Once the lower breath is established, you learn to expand the rib cage laterally, engaging the intercostal muscles.

Only after these steps are mastered does the book introduce retention (Kumbhaka) and specific rhythmic patterns.
