5 minute Alternate Nostril Breathing (“pranayama” or breath work) for relaxation + emotional balance

June 20, 2019

OPTIONAL PROPS: A blanket or pillow (to elevate the hips if necessary or if it feels good)

Alternate nostril breathing is a yogic breath control practice.

In Sanskrit, it’s known as nadi shodhana pranayama. This translates as “subtle energy clearing breathing technique.”

Benefits of this quick practice include:

-Calms and centers the mind

-Brings the mind to the present moment and out of the past (releasing old fears, regret, and worry)

-Therapeutic for the circulatory and respiratory systems -Stress relieving and relaxing for the body and mind

-Helps harmonize the left and right hemispheres of the brain, which correlate to the logical and emotional sides of our personality

-Helps purify and balance the “nadis”, the subtle energy channels, thereby ensuring smooth flow of “prana” (life force) through the body
