Welcome to "Mastering Nadi Shodhana: Breathe, Relax and Refocus | Yoga With Beks | The Stable Health Studio". This video is your comprehensive guide to the Nadi Shodhana Pranayama, also known as alternate nostril breathing, an age-old technique to purify the mind and body while fostering serenity.
Nadi Shodhana Pranayama, also known as Alternate Nostril Breathing, is a yogic breathing technique with numerous benefits. Here's a concise overview:
Definition: Nadi Shodhana Pranayama translates to "subtle energy clearing breathing technique" in Sanskrit. It involves breathing through one nostril at a time in a controlled manner.
Technique: To practice Nadi Shodhana Pranayama, sit comfortably, close your eyes, and use your thumb and ring finger to alternately block one nostril while inhaling and exhaling through the other nostril. This is repeated several times, switching nostrils.
Benefits: This technique has various benefits, including stress reduction, improved focus, enhanced respiratory function, and balancing the body's energy channels (nadis).
Stress Reduction: Just a few minutes of daily practice can help reduce stress, calm the mind, and release tension and fatigue.
Mind-Body Harmony: Nadi Shodhana settles the mind, body, and emotions, making it a powerful tool for mental and emotional well-being.
Inner Balance: This pranayama practice influences the flow of energy in the nadis, helping to create inner heat or cooling as needed.
Nadi Shodhana Pranayama is a simple yet effective practice that can be incorporated into your daily routine to promote overall well-being and balance.
