Calming Pranayama Yoga
This pranayama yoga class calms the nervous system using a series of yoga breathing exercises, including deep breathing (diaphragmatic breathing) - which combines the belly, mid-chest and upper chest breaths - and alternate nostril breathing, or Anulom Vilom. The alternate nostril breath is a challenging breathing technique, so don't be surprised if you find it difficult the first few times. This class is great to do before bed or when you need to relax.

Calming... Thank you!
It was very calming!
Lovely. So relaxing.
Hmmm. Interesting.
Strangely, I found it easier to breath, hold and exhale using one nostril rather than both. Also, I find it much more relaxing to just let the breath happen on it’s own (which can take a bit of practice itself) rather than controling it. I guess it is a matter of practice. I think I will investigate these breathing techniques a bit further. Thanks.
