Nadi Shodana, alternate nostril breathing.

Nadi Shodana is delightfully calming and a wonderfully purifying practice. This simple breathing exercise involves

controlling the flow of your breath through each nostril. I invite you to sit in a

comfortable position either on the floor or in a chair.

Take a nice deep breath. Now place your thumb next to your right nostril and place your index finger and

place your index finger and middle finger on the center of your eyebrow or the third eye.

Then hold your ring finger next to your left nostril.

Your right elbow should be down in front of your chest. Be sure to relax your

shoulders. Release those shoulder blades right in your back pocket and your left hand can gently rest on your

left knee. Begin by closing the right nostril with your right thumb and inhale slowly through the left nostril, while counting 5.

Then close the left nostril with your ring finger and at the same time remove your thumb from the right nostril and exhale through this nostril while a round of breathing. Now inhale through the right

nostril for five seconds.

Then close the right nostril with your right thumb and exhale through the left nostril for five seconds. Now you've completed a full round of breathing.

We suggest starting with five to ten rounds of your breath.

There are many different variations of alternate nostril breathing. So just give this a try.

If counting to five doesn't feel comfortable for you,

count to two or count to three.
