{"product_id":"9780949004192","title":"Mazdaznan Health Breath Culture: First Six Exercises","description":"\u003ci\u003eMazdaznan Health \u0026amp; Breath Culture\u003c\/i\u003e explores the close relationship between Mazdaznan, Johannes Itten and the Foundation Course at the Bauhaus. Founded by the extraordinary Dr. Otoman Zar-Adusht Ha'nish in Chicago at the start of the twentieth century, Mazdaznan was a religion and way of life. It is said that Edison named the first lightbulb Mazda in his honor and that Henry Ford attributed the dawn of the motor-age to Ha'nish's influence. The Swiss artist and teacher Johannes Itten was a devout Mazdaznan and its exercises were an essential part of his courses at the Bauhaus. \u003ci\u003eHealth \u0026amp; Breath Culture\u003c\/i\u003e is a practical guide to performing the exercises as taught by Itten. It is newly illustrated by Ian Whittlesea with drawings of current Foundation students demonstrating the exercises. It is followed by a selection of found texts and images that elucidate the beliefs and history of Mazdaznan.","brand":"Open Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47034089865456,"sku":"9780949004192","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780949004192_p0.jpg?v=1763871749","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780949004192","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
