Me teaching Nadi Shodana aka alternate nostril breathing
“When the breath is unsteady, the mind is unsteady. When the breath is steady, the mind is steady and the yogi becomes steady. Therefore one should restrain the breath”.
*Hatha Yoga Pradipika 2.2
Benefits of alternate nostril breathing:
💙Calms and centers the mind
🧡Brings the mind to the present moment and out of the past
💛Therapeutic for the circulatory and respiratory systems
💜Stress relieving and relaxing for body and mind
💚Helps harmonize the left and the right hemispheres of the brain, which correlate to the logical and emotional sides of your personality
🤎Helps purify and balance the nadis, the subtle energy channels, thereby ensuring smooth flow of life force through the body
🖤Maintains body temperature
So many benefits we can all use these days, right?!
Have you practiced today? Give it a try... a few minutes a day can make a difference!
Thank you for letting me teach
