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.

Hi David, I really like this practice session. I've not done the alternate nostril breath with as long a breath and holdings. I've also been away from a pranayama practice for some time. My question is about the focus of attention on the in breath, is it to stay with the 3 part breath and if so, should I focus more on the side I am inhaling ? I really like your teaching. I'm wondering if you teach retreats?

Thanks (again) David - my chest feels quite expanded. Such a good practice to improve my singing voice. Oh, and my posture, immunity, sinuses, etc ...
Thank you. Great short class to help relax and mediate. I will definitely do this one again and again.
I needed self-care fast, as anxiety was taking over. This was challenging in a way that made me feel so much better afterward. I can breath better and no more nervous energy.
