Perfect morning pick me up 🌅 increase your metabolism and mood with this breath practice ⚡️

Day 24 of 30 days of pranayama is bhastrika breath with reaches.
Extending our arms on the inhale releases tension in the shoulders and upper chest to enable better, fuller breathing. 

You cannot fail to feel different when you practice this breath. The oxygen really gets moving and you’ll probably feel your arms a lot by the end.

More experienced practitioners can try this for 3 mins (use a timer!) and combine it with antara kumbhaka (holding breath on the inhale at the end). This is a really powerful experience.

No, it’s not just “taking deep breaths” 🌬️ Calming DEEPLY with the breath is both simple & effective with this version of viloma pranayana ☺️

Day 23 of 30 days of pranayama is another variation of viloma aka interrupted breath. Also see day 21 ✨ for a more energising version.

Todays option in viloma pauses your exhale which promotes deep exhalation without tension.

This is not only deeply calming & easy to do, it also helps us to *fully* exhale which we can struggle to do if we’ve spent a lot of time in shallow/ stressed breathing patterns.

Energetically the full exhale lets us yield a bit more into our state of relaxation and let go of anything we don’t need in our lives ⚡️

Try it now and feel the difference 😌

Connect to your cosmic self with just the power of your breath 🌌

Day 22 of 30 days of pranayama is the cosmic breath.

There are a few breaths in yoga which may be referred to as “cosmic”, I’ve chosen this 4-7-8 pattern as it’s a beautiful rhythm of breath to feel a genuine shift in your body & mind towards being calm, relaxed and deeply in the moment- connected with the whole of life, the cosmos, the universal consciousness. 🪐

⚡️I like to post about techniques which help us to feel less stressed and more connected in daily life but let’s not forget, yoga is first and foremost a system of LIBERATION ✨ where we can return to our true, joyful, free and cosmic nature.

Do you get an inkling of that nature when you practice this breath? 💫

‼️ Reduce anxiety and promote a balance nervous system⚡️with this traditional breath practice 🌬️

Day 21 of 30 days of pranayama is viloma or the “interrupted breath”.

Breaking the inhale into 3 parts here really brings your mind/body/breath connection into focus and sloooows down your inhale without it feeling forced.

This is super for reducing anxiety- both in the moment and as part of a long term strategy to feel better ❤️‍🩹

Breathing out slowly through your nose, you balance the breath and help regulate your oxygen intake and nervous system and energy levels overall 🧠🫀

Improve your mood & emotional regulation with this easy pranayama 🌬️

Day 20 of 30 days of pranayama is the equal box breath.

It contains elements we’ve met before - counting the breath, pausing (kumbhaka), but something about this combination of equal pauses, inhales and exhales is just magic ✨

Just one practice of this breath technique will have positive benefits, but with regular practice you can do wonderful work to improve your emotional regulation, resilience and mental wellbeing 🩵

Feel more at ease 💆🏼 & sleep better using this simple Pranayama 🩵

Day 19 of 30 days of pranayama is 👈🏼 left nostril breath.

Breathing through the left nostril only encourages more of the parasympathetic nervous system response which makes us feel relaxed & at ease.

You may notice that one nostril breathes more freely than the other. This is normal as the body switches “dominant” nostril every 30 mins or so. But if you’re always breathing more freely from one side it may indicate chronic under or over stimulation of your nervous system ⚡️

Morning energy & focus 🌅⚡️ with this simple breath technique 👌🏻

Day 18 of 30 days of pranayama is right nostril breath aka surya bhedan.

It stimulates the solar channel (pingala nadi) which is responsible for mental focus, intellectual capacity and your capacity to get s**t done.

As a chronic procrastinator I appreciate this breath 😅

In nervous system aka sciencey terms it gently stimulates the sympathetic nervous system response which gives us more get up n go.

Try it in the morning and see how different your focus & attitude can be.

Find your pause ⏸️ space & peace in this easy breath technique 🫶🏻

Day 17 of 30 days of pranayama is box breath 📦 in an easy version which introduces the pause after your inhale & exhale.

For those of us used to constant movement and always being “on the go” this pause can feel a welcome break - or maybe even a surprise!

Finding space between breaths is an incredible way to slow your body and mind down, especially if you tend towards busy, stressed or anxious.

Enjoy the space- it’s all yours. No one else can take this pause. 🌟

Have you tried this technique?
Let me know how you found it.

And of course we’re only just over half way through the 30 days of pranayama so like & follow me for more amazing breathwork techniques.

Is it just WOO?! ⚡️PRANA, yoga and how science describes energy ⚡️

As far as I’m concerned, yoga and science are essentially describing the same things.

However they come from different cultures, times and systems of enquiry so they go about it a little differently.

Pranayama is working with our ENERGY PRODUCTION & EXCHANGE processes in the body, which are well described by science.

The better they work, the better we feel & function, which funnily enough is exactly what the yoga tradition says too.

After 20+ years of practicing yoga, including pranayama, I’m not worried to speak about noticing energy in my practice, body and awareness because it’s not only real but also described by science.

The more we notice it, the more we notice what it’s like to be ALIVE ✌🏻🩵

I’m taking 30 days of pranayama right now and sharing a different practice every day,

Simple, deep relaxation technique with this golden thread breath 💛🌬️

Day 17 of 30 days of pranayama is the golden thread breath. Imagine you are exhaling a beautiful long golden thread.

Simply watch your body & mind relax as you work with this breath.

Not only do you get to send this golden energy out into the universe but each exhale takes you deeper into relaxation 💆🏼

If you feel that you’d like more focus in the practice, you can combine this technique with counting down the breath (day 16) or lengthening your exhale (still to come) which gives a busy mind a little more to work with.

Like & follow me for more stress busting breath work that you can use every day.
