🌀 FEELING STRESSED? DO THIS NOW 🌀 comment ‘breath’ for my pranayama guide Overwhelmed, tense, or feeling burnt out? Nadi Shodhana, or Alternate Nostril Breathing, is an ancient pranayama my grandma taught me to calm the mind. 🧠 Why Nadi Shodhana Works: The Science By balancing the hemispheres of the brain, Nadi Shodhana directly influences the nervous system. A 2020 study found daily practice can significantly reduce cortisol levels, helping the body manage stress more effectively. 🧘♂️ Yoga Texts & Energy Flow This practice is highlighted in ancient texts like the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, which describes how prana (vital energy) flows through subtle channels called nadis. Nadi Shodhana clears blockages in these channels, restoring calm and helping release physical and emotional tension that often leads to stress. How to Use Nadi Shodhana for Stress Relief: 1. Sit comfortably with a straight spine and relaxed shoulders. 2. Close your right nostril with your thumb, inhale through your left nostril. 3. Close your left nostril with your ring and pinky finger, exhale through your right. 4. Inhale through the right, close, and exhale through the left. 5. Repeat this cycle for 5-7 rounds, focusing on the breath’s flow. ✨ Want to Explore the Power of Pranayama? For more join my Pranayama Training Course in January 2025! This program combines an online course, live community lectures, and dives deep into embodying snd sharing pranayama. With over 20 years of experience, I’m excited to share practices and techniques to help you go deeper.
