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.

I've never done a session like this on just breathing (other than the earlier primer in the beginner course). Incredibly relaxing...but definitely a challenge for the 12 second breaths! Oddly enough it was the controlling the in breathing to take a full 12 seconds to fill up that was the hardest, especially on the one nostril, but I felt like I started to get the hang of it near the end.
Crazy challenging class - i definitely needed movement before this one! Namaste
I need these breathing classes, thanks!
Hard to rate this one. Good video, but this practice was
not for me.
