Today, I am excited to have Adena from Adena Rose Ayurveda with me on the podcast. Adena is a women's health Ayurveda practitioner with 15 years of experience at the AyurvedicCenter of Vermont, where she once served as one of my Panchakarma therapists. As an Ayurvedic practitioner, Adena works primarily in reproductive health, doing hands-on work, including Maya abdominal therapy and Ayurvedic therapies, to support women through various life stages, overcome fertility issues, and help them heal painful and irregular menstrual cycles. Adena loves sharing vital self-healing tools to empower women. In this episode, she dives into the most effective and recommended tools. We also explore the practice of vaginal steaming and how to do it.Join us for her years of clinical experience as Adena shares her insights on women's health.FertilityAdena believes women must ensure that the soil, or conditions for fertility, are optimal. Her approach fosters a deeper understanding of physical signals, guiding women to reclaim their health and well-being through Ayurveda.Monitoring FertilityCervical Fluid: Recognizing changes in cervical fluid can help identify the fertile window without invasive measures.Basal Body Temperature: Tracking temperature changes can indicate ovulation phases to clarify fertility status.Cervical Examination: For those comfortable with it, feeling the cervix can offer insights into ovulation.These methods can help women gain a more intimate understanding of their bodies without relying on ovulation kits.Ayurvedic Perspective on Ovulation IssuesBy assessing digestion and menstrual patterns, practitioners can identify underlying dosha-related issues affecting ovulation. Adena explains that the symptoms of not ovulating can vary widely, from irregular cycles to different bleeding patterns, all of which can link to specific dosha imbalances.Navigating Fertility PathsMany clients seek out alternative methods after being disappointed with conventional treatments. Some approach Adena before starting their fertility journey, while others go to her after trying IVF or other medical interventions. Adena highlights the importance of conscious conception, where couples prepare their bodies and balance doshas before attempting to conceive.Perimenopause and Menopause InsightsWomen in their 40s may experience hot flashes, irregular periods, and heightened anxiety. Adena explains that those symptoms often reflect dosha imbalances, which can manifest as increased sensitivity. She acknowledges the cyclical nature of female health, highlighting the importance of self-awareness during life transitions.Ayurvedic Self-Care Practices for WomenAbhyanga: Daily self-massage with warm oil to promote relaxation and balance.Pranayama: Breathing techniques that help connect the breath and nervous system, including NadiShodhana (alternate nostril breathing).Nourishing Herbal Infusions: Using herbs like nettles and red clover to provide essential nutrients is particularly beneficial for perimenopausal and postmenopausal women.Herbal Infusions Herbal infusions involve soaking herbs in hot water for an extended period (8-12 hours) to maximize the extraction of iron, magnesium, potassium, and calcium. You can include the Ayurvedic herbs, Shatavari, and ashwagandha, but Western herbs like nettle, rose, and tulsi are usually more accessible.HydrationIn Ayurveda, hydration is fundamental for health. Adena recommends starting the day with a glass of warm water with lemon to stimulate digestion and detoxification. Drinking warm or room-temperature

Senior Yoga Teacher, Vani Shukla returns to introduce us to the "Principles and Benefits of Yoga Practice" - a journey towards self-awareness, inner peace and balance.  Vani commenced with the very basics: correcting the "strine" pronunciation of Yoga "Yow - (as in "row"-a-boat" - Gar" to "Yo-ga" - with a shortened "o" and "u" as a very basic first step towards showing some credibility in our understanding of Yoga. "Yoga" comes from the Sanskrit root - "Yuj" meaning to unite or join "individual consciousness" with "universal consciousness". Vani then introduced us briefly to the "8 Limbs of Yoga" known as Ashtanga Yoga. As with the limbs of the human body, the 8 Limbs of the Ashtanga - must also grow together: Limb 1 - Yama; Limb 2 - Niyama; Limb 3 - Asana (Physical postures); Limb 4 - Pranayama (Breathing practices); Limb 5 - Pratyahar (Control of senses); (Limbs 6 & 7 - Dhana and Dhyana (Meditation practices); Limb 8 - Samadhi (The "Balanced state of Being"). Under Vani's expert guidance, we then - very briefly - put the Ashtanga into practice in what little time remained.

We are working our way through the 8 limbs of Yoga. These are suggested steps to practice Yoga to attain the state of Yoga, according to Patanjali who wrote the Yoga Sutras. The first limb is the Yamas, 5 ethical guidelines to have more intimate relationships with the world around you and others. The second limb is the Niyamas, 5 observances to have more of an intimate relationship to yourself. The third limb is Asana, posture. As stated in our last session to practice Asana you just need to create Sthira and Sukham, steadiness and comfort in your posture so you can focus the mind on something specific becoming more effortless in your practice. This session we are focusing on the fourth limb, Pranayama, breathing techniques or exercises.Why do we want to do want to focus on Pranayama? Well, we all want to feel more vital, energised, productive, healthy and creative. These are all fuelled by Prana, your life force or vital energy that animates, supports our homeostasis and it's said to sustain our life and longevity.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

This episode focuses on the fourth limb of Yoga which is Pranayama (breath control). In Yoga, breath work is designed to maximize the life-force in the body through various breathing techniques. These techniques are said to help reduce anxiety, balance emotions, clarify the mind, create the causes & conditions to open to gratitude and more peaceful feelings. Some techniques warm the body and others cool it down. Like everything else in Yoga (and life) there is no one size fits all and there's something for everybody!While the autonomic nervous system keeps the breath flowing without our assistance, once we breathe consciously, we can begin to direct our energies from the inside-out. B.K.S. Iyengar describes Pranayama as conscious breathing, not just deep breathing.Theresa offers an opening practice to set the tone and to reveal the power of the breath, experientially, before the hosts move into more anecdotal, scientific, and academic definitions. In fact, it isn't until the end of the episode that the hosts define Pranayama.Once something is defined, it may limit our understanding of the thing if we get stuck in the description.

It acts as a potent tool to purify, transmute and balance our vital energies. It's also historically considered essential towards the path of liberation among ancient Yogic traditions. The three key stages here are; relaxation, then pranayama, then deep meditation.

Welcome to your 2:1 Breath guided sleep practice. (Vishama Vritti translated from Sanskrit as "Irregular Way", or "Uneven Movement") This breath is known to bring instant relaxation in mind and body, making it a great practice for bedtime.  It involves exhalation twice as long as exhalation as it emphasizes extending exhalation slightly longer than normal.  This often underrated practice helps to stabilize our thoughts and relax our nervous system in preparation for sleep and mediation.  Let's get some good sleep! NOTE: use this practice with caution as it often can make you sleepy quickly! Do not practice while driving or during any other activity where you need to remain alert.

8 Types Of (Pranayama) Breathing Techniques And Their BenefitsAlo Moveshttps://www.talkable.com/x/rSpBAvPranayama breathing is both a meditative practice in itself and a core feature of yoga (on a comparable level with asanas, in terms of importance). I had no idea pranayama was a thing, until a trip in Brazil opened my eyes and a subsequent trip to India educated me on the different types of practices.I was aware of things like yoga and meditation, but I had not heard of pranayama breathing before. I was genuinely amazed at the impact it had on me. Through simply focusing on the breath, I felt a powerful calming effect throughout my body. For that reason, I want to share these techniques with you.What Is Pranayama Breathing And Where Does It Come From?'Pranayama' is a Sanskrit word that loosely translates to 'control of breath. 'Prana' means breath or life force and 'Ayama means to control. So, you can think of it as a set of practices to control the 'prana' within your body through breathing techniques.Pranayama breathing techniques are thought to have come into existence around the same time as yoga and meditation – in India, around 5000 BC. They are recorded within ancient texts from around this time, such as the Yoga Sutras, and these texts mention pranayama as a foundational aspect of yoga practice.Alo Moveshttps://www.talkable.com/x/rSpBAvBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

Mira Katyal uses the eastern wisdom of Ayurveda, Yoga therapy, Reiki, and even astrology, I help deconstruct stress, and build up calm. There are three groups of emotional imbalances, knowing yourself, is half the battle won, in setting up strategies for calm. Calm is not merely a mental issue, it is a body constitution issue, and a lifestyle issue as well and a societal issue as well. In this week's episode, we looked at three exercises the first one is Shaskank Asana. Here are the steps below to complete the Shaskank Asana Exercise. Kneel and place hands on your thighs allowing your spine to push back. Then open your knees so that they are apart. Place your palms on the floor in between the space you have created with your knees. Exhale and slide your hands on the floor and bend your torso forward at the hip level. Ensure to keep your hands, knees, and spine straight at all times. Stretch down to touch the floor from the palm to the forehead, then breathe softly. Inhale and gently slide your hand back using your muscles. The second exercise was the Pranayama Breathing. Here are the steps below to complete the Pranayama Breathing. Place your index and middle fingers of your right hand on your forehead in between your eyebrows. Rest your thumb onto your right nostril, ring finger, and baby finger onto your left nostril. Inhale and exhale while interchanging the position of your thumb onto your nose, e.g close the left nostril with your thumb; inhale through the right nostril for a count of 5. Then close both nostrils and hold count to 5. Then exhale for 5 counts. Then repeat step 2 with the right nostril and breathe out through the left nostril. This will complete one round and you can continue and complete up to 5 more rounds. The third and final exercise we looked at was the Bhramari (Bee Breathing Technique). Here are the steps below to complete the Bhramari Breathing Technique. You can find a calm environment or a quiet spot in your home. Sit into a Padmasana position, cross-legged sitting position. Relax your body and clear your mind. Ensure that your breathing is normal. Place your finger on your forehead and remaining fingers on your eyes to cover them.

Pranayama is a Sanskrit word that translates to energy control and through ancient breathing techniques, we can learn to harness this energy and apply it to daily life. When we work on controlling the breath, we are controlling our ‘Prana'. In all living forms prana flows through it, like the waves flow through the sea. Prana is our life-force, sometimes referred to as energy or chi. Where can prana be found? From the sun as its primary source, it lives in our food, trees, humans, everywhere. The way we think, act, move and breathe is determined by how much energy (prana) we are cultivating and how we channel it. Prana is the universal energy that is transported through the breath and fuels our energetical systems. If we can understand our breath, we can understand our mind and body. Similar to ‘You are what you eat', you are what you breathe.  In this article I would like to show how accessible this knowledge can be and introduce the benefits of breathing techniques. Here I collect some old new thought readings on the science of breathing from Elizabeth Towne, Hereward Carrington and Captain R.D. Parker. How can you use your breath to expand your consciousness and change your reality? Becoming aware of different breathing techniques and understanding my breathing has changed my life. In this episode, I try to share some of what I have learned studying advanced breathwork and pranayama techniques. Breathing is everything. In reality creation, it may be the most essential element. The most fundamental and powerful way to connect with your subconscious and the superconscious is your breathing.   Music By MettaverseNocturnesubtle energiesthe shift639 hz heart chakragolden lotuscosmic riverdeep relaxation ➤ Listen on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2KjGlLI ➤ Follow them on Instagram: http://bit.ly/2JW8BU2➤ Join them on Facebook: http://bit.ly/2G1j7G6➤ Subscribe to their channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyvjffON2NoUvX5q_TgvVkw Alan Watts Playlist  - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKv1KCSKwOo_n1g-X4hVtAai5G84Qz4x- All My Neville Goddard Videos In One Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKv1KCSKwOo8kBZsJpp3xvkRwhbXuhg0M For all episodes of the Reality Revolution – https://www.therealityrevolution.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/RealityRevolutionPodcast/ Join our facebook group The Reality Revolution  https://www.facebook.com/groups/403122083826082/ Subscribe to my Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOgXHr5S3oF0qetPfqxJfSw Contact us at media@advancedsuccessinsitute.com  #lawofattraction #breathing #totalhumanoptimization #breathwork #meditation #guidedmeditation #brianscott #justbreathe#breathwork #breathing #lawofattraction #meditation #pranayama

Meditation begins at 16:04 This is a beginners training on remote viewing with a short meditation to put you in a remote viewing space in deep conscious theta. Remote viewing is defined as the ability to acquire accurate information    about a distant or non-local place, person or event without using your physical sense seemingly being able to spontaneously know something without actually knowing how you got the information. It is also sometimes called “anomalous cognition” or “second sight.” Many of us experience this from time to time as an intuitive flash of insight that turns out to be correct. Many well-known entrepreneurs and business people, like  Conrad Hilton, Thomas Alva Edison and Akio Morita, the co-founder of Sony, have attributed their business success to this ability. And we've all seen natural psychics perform seemingly amazing feats of mental skill on TV. The difference between natural psychic receptivity and remote viewing is that the latter is a trained skill, a controlled process, that the average person can learn to do, to some degree or another. This has a short explanation of remote viewing. The meditation that starts at 16:04 can be used for basic meditation at any time.  This is designed to slow down your consciousness and put you in a deep meditative state making you receptive to remote viewing information. The music is designed to pull you into a deep theta state that allows you to access the infinite. Music By Mettaversesolsticeinner worldsrhythm of the breaththe shifthealing restorative ambient musicsound medicine 528hzreplenish the whole selfdeep theta  ➤ Listen on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2KjGlLI ➤ Follow them on Instagram: http://bit.ly/2JW8BU2 ➤ Join them on Facebook: http://bit.ly/2G1j7G6 ➤ Subscribe to their channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyvjffON2NoUvX5q_TgvVkw Guided Meditations https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKv1KCSKwOo_BfNnb5vLcwouInskcEhqL All My Neville Goddard Videos In One Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKv1KCSKwOo8kBZsJpp3xvkRwhbXuhg0M For all episodes of the Reality Revolution – https://www.therealityrevolution.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/RealityRevolutionPodcast/ Join our facebook group The Reality Revolution https://www.facebook.com/groups/403122083826082/ Subscribe to my Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOgXHr5S3oF0qetPfqxJfSw Contact us at media@advancedsuccessinsitute.com#remoteviewig #obe #higherself #lawofone #transcendence #lawofattraction #guidedmeditation #newearth #starseed #wanderer #galacticfederation

Samadhi, the final step in the 8-limbed yogic path, is a state of being in which the soul and the Divine become unified: it is the ultimate goal of the yoga practice. It can be described as a state of intense concentration that is achieved through meditation – a state of being that becomes natural after the work of the preceding 7 limbs have been done. Join Jamie as she explores the concept of Samadhi and provides you with some simple journaling questions for reflection and consideration. **This is the final episode in a sequential series exploring basic principles of yoga philosophy and how you can apply these principles to your daily life.

In Dhyana, which is a form of meditation, you not only concentrate on a point of focus, you now do it with the intention of knowing the truth about that object, which makes this a more contemplative, spiritual practice. Dhyana is meant to create a state of tranquility – you are cleansing the subconscious, developing deeper concentration, and developing a unified connection with the Divine. By practicing Dhyana, the yogi calms their mind and is eventually able to look at the outside world without any distractions, enabling them to reach a new level of awareness.   Jamie explores Dhyana and also provides listeners with her 2 favorite methods for learning how to meditate.   Jamie’s Recommended Resources:   Jamie’s Beginner One-Minute Breath Recording: http://jamiemolnar.com/yoga-use-your-breath/ Episode 16 (Pranayama): http://jamiemolnar.com/episode-16-the-what-is-yoga-series-pranayama-all-about-the-breath/ Article providing more in-depth information on the practice of Dhyana: https://www.thedailymeditation.com/dhyana-yoga **This episode is the eighth in a sequential series exploring basic principles of yoga philosophy and how you can apply these principles to your daily life.

Dharana is defined as concentration, or, the practice in which one learns to maintain fixed attention on one particular object. It is often described as the work needed to get your mind prepared and able to do mediation, or Dhyana (the 7th limb). It is the act of concentrating, the act of bringing your “monkey mind” back to this one object over and over again. Join Jamie as she explores the concept of Dharana as well as 3 simple ways you can practice Dharana both on and off the yoga mat. **This episode is the seventh in a sequential series exploring basic principles of yoga philosophy and how you can apply these principles to your daily life.

Pratyahara is probably the least discussed yet most important limb of the 8-limbed path. Pratyahara refers to withdrawal of the senses - it teaches yogis how to practice non-attachment to external objects and energies, taking us from the outside to the inside, so that the yogi can travel within and connect with the true Self. Join Jamie as she explores how to practice Pratyahra as well as her simple tips for implementing this practice into your daily routine. **This episode is the sixth in a sequential series exploring basic principles of yoga philosophy and how you can apply these principles to your daily life.

Many yogis believe that the practice of pranayama is a way to connect the unconscious to the conscious, therefore integrating the mind, body, and spirit. There are numerous pranayama practices that manipulate the breath in a variety of ways: extending or shortening the lengths of inhalation and exhalation, suspending the breath, or contracting the breath. Pranayama can be part of a daily practice or used to achieve specific results. And it is often recommended that beginners practice more advanced pranayama practices under the guidance of a teacher. **This episode is the fifth in a sequential series exploring basic principles of yoga philosophy and how you can apply these principles to your daily life.

Asana is probably the most recognizable part of yoga in the West – If you have ever attended a yoga class, you have done Asana! Most yoga classes have a series of physical postures in a specific sequence created by the teacher, usually to music, that lasts about one hour. You can find yoga classes everywhere – gyms, yoga studios, martial arts studios, outdoors, at big events. Asana is often used to describe yoga postures. Join Jamie as she explores how Asana has evolved over time as well as her tips for implementing yoga postures in your life. **This episode is the fourth in a sequential series exploring basic principles of yoga philosophy and how you can apply these principles to your daily life.

The Niayams are the second step on Patanjali’s 8-fold yoga path. These 5 observances are practices of self-training. They help us cultivate happiness and confidence. And just like the Yamas, there are opportunities to practice them every single day. The Niyamas include: 6. Saucha (purity) 7. Santosha (contentment) 8. Tapas (self-disipline) 9. Svadhyaya (sefl-study) 10. Ishvara Pranidhana (surrender) In this episode, Jamie provides definitions and insight into the Niyamas and explores how you can infuse each one in your daily life. **This episode is the third in a sequential series exploring basic principles of yoga philosophy and how you can apply these principles to your daily life.

The Yamas are the beginning of Patanjali’s 8-fold yoga path. These 5 universal codes form the foundation of the practice and are essentially moral, ethical and societal principles concerning how we approach both our internal world and the world around us. The word Yamas literally translates into “restraints” and includes: 1. Ahimsa (nonviolence) 2. Satya (truthfulness) 3. Asteya (non-stealing) 4. Brahmacharya (faithfulness) 5. Aparigraha (non-attachment / non-excess) Rather than just a negative list of don’ts, these codes instead remind us that our fundamental nature is compassionate, generous, honest and peaceful. Jamie provides definitions and insight into each Yama and explores how you can infuse each one in your daily life. **This episode is the second in a sequential series exploring basic principles of yoga philosophy and how you can apply these principles to your daily life.

We're talking folklore again, but this time about the hardest gathering challenge of all: you vs. a room full of your family or friends at holiday celebrations. I'll tell you about my first folklore gathering assignment at age 18, which was me vs. an Irish folk band called Dolores Keane and Reel Union. I was recovering from mononucleosis, and they plied me with Guinness until I couldn't see straight. Suffice it to say that you can learn from my mistakes. Then, I'll recommend Nancy Candea and Yoga Impact 501c3 - specifically, her video at goo.gl/oq3z3c, a short and simple pranayama breathing video that I use to relax when I am tense. It's a great preparation for going into a potentially difficult situation, and gathering group folklore is definitely potentially difficult. I'll discuss other preparations you'll need to make for yourself, things you'll want to account for in the group, and things you'll need to let go of because hey, we can't control everything!

In this episode, Dhyanse takes you through the two energy forces that are acting within us - in yoga, they are known as Ida and Pingala. The session focuses on what happens when balance is achieved between these two forces, and the sense of harmony and centering that can occur when balancing them. Pranayama breathing techniques are used to try and create this balance, so you can go deeper into your meditation. Dhyanse will guide you through a Pranayama practice to use your breath to come back into the moment, to bring your energies into harmony. If you do this pranayama, it brings you back to your centre, it brings you back to where you should be. This audio is from the full video of a guided meditation session held on the 3rd September 2018 with Dhyanse in Basel, Switzerland.

Yogi Arvind was my first ever proper meditation teacher! Since meeting him in Venice Beach, CA about 7 years ago, his presence has certainly influenced my path and understanding of health. In this conversation, Arvind and I discuss yoga and how it is such a powerful intervention for health and life when applied in its truest form. Arvind's work is to inspire and educate the world of the full depth and breadth of yogic wisdom, focusing beyond the yoga mat/yoga studio. We talk a bit about the other 7 limbs raja yoga, beyond Asana, or the physical movement practice that we are so familiar with. We didn't cover them all, but here is a brief snippet of the 8 limbs of yoga: 1 - YAMA - Restraints, moral disciplines or moral vows. Ahiṃsā: Nonviolence, non-harming other living beings. Satya: truthfulness, non-falsehood. Asteya: non-stealing. Brahmacharya: chastity, marital fidelity or sexual restraint. Aparigraha: non-avarice, non-possessiveness. 2 - NIYAMA - Positive duties or observances. Sauca: purity, clearness of mind, speech and body Santosa: contentment, acceptance of others and of one's circumstances as they are, optimism for self Tapas: austerity, self-discipline, persistent meditation, perseverance Svadhyaya: study of self, self-reflection, introspection of self's thoughts, speeches and actions Isvarapranidhana: contemplation of God (Supreme Being, Brahman, True Self, Unchanging Reality) and attunement to the supreme consciousness 3 - ASANA - Posture. 4 - PRANAYAMA - Breathing techniques. 5 - PRATYAHARA - Sense withdrawal. 6 - DHARANA - Focused concentration. 7 - DHYANA - Meditative absorption. 8 - SAMADHI - Bliss or enlightenment. Arvind also shares about his practice and continual fine tuning to balance himself in his life just outside the hectic city of Los Angeles.   Links to more... - Show notes and resources: https://alter.health/episode24/ - Get a copy of Dr. Benjamin's book: https://amzn.to/2tmiOz3 - Apply to work with Dr. Benjamin: https://alter.health/membership - Connect on Facebook: https://fb.me/alterhealthinc - Follow Dr. Benjamin on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbenjaminalter

I first learned about Brian MacKenzie when I was training for my first Ironman’s and I read his books about endurance and mobility and he changed my concepts about what was possible with running. Basically, pounding out miles just doesn’t work as you get older (and when younger too). But this doesn’t apply to just running…… Brian applies exponential training approaches to optimize human performance; he relentlessly challenges conventions and tests assumptions. Recently I was reacquainted with Brian’s work when I started training with Wim Hof's cold and breathing methods and was looking to see who else was interested in them….. So I reached out to ask him on the show.  Major take – aways from this episode are: How you can change anything with 10 breaths. Using breathing techniques to amplify, deepen and quicken meditation benefits. The power of breath work to stabilize mood regulation and reactive behavior patterns. Co2 adaptation + Integrating breathing, ice and heat. How to activate the Vagus nerve. Importance of diaphramatic breathing. Using breathing to access Flow States. Proper breathing technique for sport, business and life. Mobility – the importance of keeping tissue supple. Eating principles vs fads to follow that Brian coaches people on related to a) Vegetables; b)humanely treated animal protein (not stressed); c) High quality fats. The impact of a) sugar; b) processed foods; c) hydration; d) high quality breads. Must read and listen to Netflix video by Mike Pollan, “Cooked” and In Defense of Food – An Eaters Manifesto. Taking personal responsibility of your health by engaging your doctor. Benefits of getting your genetics tested (Wellness fx). Dumbing down technology so that you can feel again. Mike Rowe on the importance of working opportunities not passion. I have linked up all the show notes on redzonetech.net/podcast where you can get access to Brian’s blog publications. About Brian Brian Mackenzie is a human performance and movement specialist. He is the innovator of the endurance, strength and conditioning paradigm. He has studied performance and movement for more than a decade along with altitude, hypoxia, breathing mechanics, heat and cold exposure.

Brian has competed in Ironman (Canada 2004), and has run the Western States 100 and the Angeles Crest 100 mile endurance runs. He co-authored the book Power Speed Endurance, and NYTimes Best Seller UnBreakable Runner.

Ayurveda and Yoga both recommend simple breathing exercises (pranayama) for peace of mind and increased immunity. In this episode Shann introduces alternate nostril breathing and shares how to do it.

Dirga Pranayama is also known as "Three-Part-Breath" or "Complete Breath" because you are breathing into three parts of your abdomen and making full use of your lungs. Many people breath shallowly in their throat and never use the full potential of their lungs. When practicing Dirga Pranayama we become more relaxed, calm and centred and we can do this simple breath whilst in a stressful situation to control the stress and to stay positive and on top of life. Enjoy every breath! :)
