I agree!
I'm practicing Nadi Shodhana ( with Ujjayi breathing ) for over two years and my long problems with allergy disappeared after three months. I'm still practicing nearly every morning for 10 - 15 min. The key is persistence and repetition.

So happy to see a video of you. I hope you will continue on a regular basis and that you will also consider making videos of (yogic) practices / explanations for spiritual growth and releasing trauma (eventhough I know through my own practice it's all related). I hope your channel will grow exponentially. You are an excellent teacher, you explain it in a way it's easy to understand for people like me that have little to no knowledge of ancient yogic practices and their functions. Thank you. 🙏🏽

Pranaam, Aapko hardik Dhanyvad! Nadi-Shodhana Pranayam - for balance in your system. Passive hand = Left hand in Chin mudra aka Dhyan Mudra Active hand = Right hand in Mrigi Mudra aka Vishnu Mudra Use Right hand thumb for blocking Right nostril Use Right hand Index finger to block Left nostril Patanjali says - Key is to do it Slowly & very Calmly w/o any sound/ force or feeling gush of air on your finger while exhalation or inhalation & following the ratios. Thirumoolar says - breath ratio 4:64:32 So basically 1:4:2:1 ratio for a healthy person.. depending upon capacity but slowly build up to it from 1:1:1:1 eg 2 seconds Inhale: 8 seconds hold : 4 seconds Exhale: 2 seconds hold - Repeat with other nostril. Try to do 4 times daily (at change of pahar) or atleast 2 times daily. Morning & Evening. Possibly 80 breaths or 40 complete cycles. For tiredness & lethargy / for heating - Longer Inhalation & Longer Hold after inhalation For cleansing /digestion - Long hold after Exhalation End of the day / for relaxation / for cooling - Longer Exhalation (3-4 times of Inhalation) Contra Indication: High BP (avoid Long Hold after inhale) Low BP low energy (avoid Long Exhalation) In both above cases do Sama-Vritii 1:1:1:1 ratio
Thank you for your clear and wise explanation!
