Pranayama: Alternate Nostril Breathing

Robert Sidoti

Alternate Nostril Breathing aka Nadi Shodhana is a breathing technique that can be used to balance your energy. If you're feeling stressed, low or mildly down, high or low - this can help to bring you back to balance, grounding and calming you.
'Nadi' = Refers to the rivers and currents of energy throughout your body - 'Shodhana' refers to purifying or cleansing.
Once you understand how to do it comfortably and can do it on a relatively consistent basis - you can begin to feel the benefits or the reasons why through your own experience.

Benefits could include: Reducing Anxiety - Lower blood pressure - Lung function/respiratory endurance - overall health and well being!
