Nadi Shodhana Pranayama / Alternate Nostril Breathing

This Video is about a popular pranayama among the yogic practices called Nadi Shodhana Pranayama, otherwise called Alternate nostril breathing or Anulom-Vilom. The focus of this video is to understand,
- What is Nadi Shodhana, and the etymology, definition, and meaning behind it.
- Why we need to do NS - To understand the positive effects at the physical, physiological, mental, and spiritual levels. To understand what happens at the subtler level of your brain.
- How and when to do this practice. What scriptures recommend on the length of breath, ratios, and number of times you repeat and how long.
- Who has to do it. What are the contraindication and Who benefits from this pranayama.

    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. 🙏🏽
