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 certainly feel better!
I don't think I have ever sweat from a pranayama practice until this one. This was very challenging! I almost made it through without having to do extra breathing! Another challenge I will have to start!
One question, when breathing in you say we should start with the belly, ribs, then chest, is there a way we should be breathing out? In a similar manner or just relax everything?
Thanks, David!
I love these pranayama videos. I felt very challenged on the 12 count breaths but I know eventually I can improve.
Excellent exercice for our lung capacity but the 12 seconds were challenging for me. I am wondering if we get better with practice? Thank you.
