Good advice. But whilst reading try the foundational basics! Learn how to breath!
Yes! Definitely something that comes easier to some than others. I'm a pretty highly-strung temperament and the noticeable difference to the effectiveness of any work when I take time out before hand to get relaxed and control my breathing properly is astounding. It is something that is so basic one can forget, yet as a good friend of mine said when bollocking me after I demonstrated something to a class, "Very good, but your breathing was all over the place. Learn how to breathe properly and you're half-way there already".
