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.
Comments
The 12 seconds was too long for me but I did do it as long as I could and I do feel the benefits of this session.
Could you recommend some type of breathing progression? I have a very difficult time with these exercises. I do not feel like my pulmonary excursion is adequate.
These exercises are so difficult for me I think I am going to have a chest X-ray . I am an asthmatic with sinus issues but I did not think this would be so difficult.
Very calming. My ability to focus on and control my breath has definitely grown with these classes.
