Breathing Techniques
 
Nadi Shodhana translates as “cleansing passage”, it is a simple version of alternate nostril breathing which is used to simultaneously lengthen the exhalation and the inhalation; it’s purpose is to clean and open the internal passageways. To practice, breathe in through the slightly closed (left) nostril and breathe out through the slightly closed (right) nostril. Then breathe in again through the slightly closed (right) nostril and breathe out through the slightly closed (left) nostril, and so forth. ENTERING NADI SHODANA: (begin with 10 breaths each; slowly build) 1. Surya Nuloma: breathe in through the right, out right; add retention when ready 2. Chandra Nuloma: breathe in through the left, out left; add retention when ready 3. Surya and Chandra Bhedana 4. Nadi Shodana 

*****
*This breath includes an optional breath retention. If dizziness occurs return
to following a normal rhythmic breath until you are ready to continue
