FOR ANY NEED check out our website: https://toyoga.it/ - - - - - - - - - In this short pranayama practice (prana = breath and ayama = extension) I guide you through some breath awareness practices. For yoga, breath and mind are closely connected and learning to manage our breath becomes a great tool to regulate the nervous system and allow us to rebalance states of anxiety and stress. In the video we will practice: Chandra Bedhana pranayama or lunar breathing: inhaling from the left nostril and exhaling from the right. The left nostril according to yoga is connected to Ida nadi (the lunar energy channel) which flows to the left of the spine and is linked to feminine energy, cold, darkness, introspection... this breathing stimulates calm and relaxation, digestion and introspection. Surya Bedhana pranayama or solar breathing: inhaling from the right nostril and exhaling from the left. The left nostril according to yoga is connected to Pingala nadi (the solar energy channel) which flows to the right of the spine and is linked to male energy, heat, light, extroversion... this breathing is activating, energizing, ideal before a physical or intellectual activity. Nadi Sodhana pranayama or alternate nostril breathing: the union of Chandra and Surya bedhana pranayama in this breathing technique allows you to balance opposites by creating harmony in the body and mind, removes tension from stress and psychosomatic symptoms of various kinds such as anxiety, improves concentration and frees the nostrils. Include these techniques in your daily routine to receive the greatest benefits on a physical, mental and emotional level. Start with a few repetitions until you increase the duration always listening to your body without ever creating effort.
