Come and join me for a dose of balancing breath work this Monday morning. Nadi (channel) Shodhana (purification) Pranayama is a wonderful breathing practice to bring a sense of balance and equanimity into mind and body. It helps to balance the feminine (yin) and masculine (yang) energy in the body and is a practice that is suitable for everyone.
Welcome to a serene exploration of Nadi Shodhana, also known as alternate nostril breathing, a practice that harmonises the body and mind. This ancient technique, rooted in yogic tradition, is more than just a breathing exercise – it's a pathway to inner balance and tranquillity. As you join me in this session, I invite you to find a comfortable seat, perhaps on a bolster or blocks, and allow yourself to connect with your breath, guiding you towards a state of equilibrium.
In this video, we'll journey through the Nadi Shodhana practice, focusing on achieving alignment and a balanced state of being. This practice is not just about the physical act of breathing; it's an invitation to bring awareness to the present moment, connecting deeply with ourselves. Whether you are well-versed in yoga or just beginning, this practice offers a unique opportunity to calm the mind, balance the body's energy channels, and bring a sense of peace and clarity.
