Alternate Nostril Breathing - Nadi Shodhana

Описание: Nadi Shodhana is a breathing yogi technique known as alternate nostril breathing that can decrease your resting heart rate in just six weeks.

The practice of breathing through one nostril and then the other awakens energies in the Ida and Pingala nadis, secondary chakras that are located in the left and right nostrils.
They are associated with the left and right brain, and also with the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems and their regulations.

Breathing through the right nostril only can benefit those who suffer from obesity and diabetes, since it builds heat in the body.

We always begin by breathing through the left nostril, because this is the aspect of us that needs to be awakened -- the passive, allowing, nurturing aspect which neutralizes the heat, or excess of stress.

For best results, Nadi Shodhana should be practiced after a Hatha yoga session, or in a peaceful, meditative posture without distractions.

Exhale through both nostrils. Cover the right nostril and inhale slowly through the left. Cover the left nostril and exhale slowly through the right. Slowly inhale through the right, cover the right nostril and exhale slowly through the left. This consummates one round of Nadi Shodhana.
