Begin by sitting in a comfortable position and close your eyes. Begin by taking long, slow and deep breaths through the nostrils. Now, allow the breath to be gentle and relaxed as you contract the back of your throat, imagine sipping air through a straw as you begin to hear a haaaa sound or the sound of the ocean. Lengthen the inhalation and the exhalation as much as possible without creating tension in any part of the body. Allow the sound of the breath to be smooth and continuous. Benefits Strengthens the nervous system and improves concentration. Stimulates blood circulation and increases the body's' metabolism. Improves lung stamina. Relaxes the body and mind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ca2b974983e64e21d47e32/43fc2c6c-4ee5-4c12-aa20-6b7cb36034c4/NADI+SHODHANA.jpg Blog - Experience the Beauty of the Breath - Alternate Nostril Breathing This is a simple form of alternate nostril breathing. Nadi means, “channel” and refers to the energy pathways through which the prana flows. Shodhana means, “cleansing”. Nadi shodhana means purification of nadis or channels.

Now, close the left nostril with your thumb and exhale through the right nostril. Inhale through the right nostril, close it, and then exhale through the left nostril.
