Nadi Shodhana Pranayama: Alternate Nostril Breathing | SRMD Yoga

- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2018
- Nadis are subtle energy channels in the human body that can get blocked due to several reasons. The Nadi Shodhana Pranayama is a breathing technique that helps clear and purify these blocked energy channels, thus allowing the life-force (prana) to flow freely. Clearing mental clutter and calming the mind, this practice also lowers one’s heart rate and helps harmonise the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Add this practice to your daily morning or evening ritual to reap all of its benefits. #SRMDYoga #Yoga

Great commitment Deon.
Same as anulom vilom pranayaam?
❤❤
Very good mam thanks
I like this a lot. And their mission statement is great. *"Realise one's True Self and serve others selflessly".
madam when i am doing pranayama i am getting dizziness can you please tell me why?
Thank you for this informative video, I practice Advaita and try to meditate 1hr + every day, I was tought that meditation is to quiet thee mind , when practicing Nadi Shodhana is a requirement to count your inhale/exhale, if i do this i believe my mine will be concentrated on numbers and not quiet.
Hallo from Slovakia-Europe.my first video about nadi shodhana-i like it-but i have also question-i do the beginners NS. 20 times breathing by one nostra,than 20 the other.Its the first degree as i know.How many seconds should i inhaleand how many exhale? I heard 6 sec vs.12 seconds.Iam right? Thanks and bye:)
thank you dear soul
Please give tips to sound sleep
Nice👌🏻 can we sit in siddhasana?
This is Anuloma Viloma Pranayama. Nadi Shodhan pranayama is done similarly but with kumbhak I.e. holding the breath after every inhalation and exhalation.
Plz correct me, if I'm wrong.
Namaskar Shrimad! Thank you so much Shrimad! Are you offering live Yoga lessons? Otherwise, have you recorded Yoga lessons on RUclips?
Namaste Kleber,
You can find out Yoga videos here - ruclips.net/p/PLaUSuQmcD7zH_Ulx2iR86BnH3yu5wgwgP
Hope it helps you!
let me try
I could not do the breathing through rt nostril.. I had no idea . No wonder I am out of breath when active
How important is the hand position?
I cannot maintain the hand position because my pinky finger is permanently injured, which affects the positions my hand can hold. So I've been using my thumb and index finger.
Namaste, in that case you may use your thumb and index finger. Hope this helps, thank you.
Clear explanation.
I have one question: is Nadi Shodana to be practiced after having mastered basic breathing techniques such as abdominal/thoracic/yogic breathing?
Namaste. Nadi Shodana is a fundemental pranayama and can be practised in the beginner stage as well. Make sure you start with a few rounds and slowly as you build up you can increase the number of rounds. Hope this helps, thank you.
Ross rayburn nostril breathing
After you do the active nostril test, do you use the hand on the same side to do the exercise? Or how do you know which hand to use to benefit the most?
Namaste. Its best to use the right hand so you get practise - eventually the hand movements will become effortless as you progress. Hope this helps, thank you.
What should you do if one nostril is stuffed up? Skip the practice that day or breathe through the mouth?
Namaste, if your nostril is blocked, it is advised to skip this practice on that particular day and resume it the next day. Hope this helps! Thank you.
I have cold now can i practice this nadi pranayam at night
What does the word means which is active if you exhale through your right nostril normally??
Namaste, generally when the left brain is more dominant then the right nostril is active and vice versa. Around every 48 minutes the active nostril switches naturally.
Nadi Shodana helps to balance both the nostrils and sides. Hope this helps, thank you.
@@nisargved5144 It did help. Thanks.
Is aluloma vilom also do Nadi shuddi?
Namaste, In Anulom Viloma, there is no need to hold the breath, whereas, in Nadi Shodhana, one needs to hold the breath inside for as long as possible. Hope this helps, thank you!
Why everyone told different methods of nadi shodhan??? I m very confused
Nadi is a Sanskrit word meaning “channel” or “flow” and Shodhana means “purification.” This is a commonly used method where focus is given on lengthening the inhalations and deepening the exhalations very slowly and gently. Hope this helps!
Can we do nadishodhana after anulom vilom pranayam
Namaste, ideally you may do either one of them, Nadi Shodhana or Anumola Viloma. Hope this helps, thanks.
👄👁️❤️🌞
Can i do left nostril breathing and alternate nostril breathing one after the other on the same same day in the morning??? Please mam tell me !!!
Hi Prerna, Ideally the first is preparation for the second but if you are comfortable you can also do it one after another. Hope this helps!
@@molinparekh1386 Thank you Sir
Madam ..do we need to hold our breath also while doing pranayam 🙏
No need to hold the breath, keep the inhalation’s long and deep from one nostril to another. Hope this helps, thank you.
In Nadi Shodhan pranayam it is expected to hold the breath, while in Anuloma Viloma Pranayama one is not expected to hold the breath.
Can you hold on the inhale and the exhale, or does this undermine the practice?
Namaste. In Nadi Shodana it is recommended to hold the breath at the inhale and exhale. Hope this helps, thank you.
One or the other of my nostrils is always blocked so very difficult to practice this. How can I clear my nostrils?
Blocked nostril indicate the physiological arousal or stress in body. Before begin the pranayama practice, one must practice asanas and natural as well as yogic breathing to be in a poised state. Once stress level is normlized, active state of mind and body setteled down to normal then you will observe that both the nostrils are equally open. There after one can practice this pranayama, or any other pranayama. Thanks. I hope this clears your doubt.
Hi, it is not uncommon to have a blocked nostril when you start alternate nostril breathing. Becoming aware of this is the first step. Continuous practice will help balance this breathing. It may help you to do kapalabhati pranayama or Jala neti kriya before Nadi Shodhana to help balance the breathing or a few rounds of Surya Namaskar to open both the nostrils. Hope this helps!
Can we do this while lying down before going to sleep??? Anyone can answer this ???
Namaste! Yes, it can be done before you sleep. It is advisable to do this in any comfortable sitting posture like Sukhasana or even on a chair if that’s more comfortable. Hope this helps, thank you.
why i started sneezing after doing this pranayama???
Hi Mishaal, It may be simply that you nostril passage is getting cleansed and is releasing it by sneezing. I recommend you also wash your hands thoroughly to make sure it is not causing the irritation in your nose. Hope this helps!
why is nadi shodhana easier for me than regular breathing ?
Namaste.
That could be because it is done in a slow, conscious way that promotes wellbeing and a good feeling internally.
Nevertheless, excess of a particular pranayama may not be advisable. You may practise a few rounds daily as per your comfort. Rest of the time it is advised to breathe normally and naturally. Hope this helps, thank you.
Does it have better/deeper effect if I prolong the repetition from 5 to 10 or 20 or 30 times?
Hi Karl, Absolutely, prolonging the number of repetitions as well as the number of breath counts can both aid for a deeper practise. Hope this helps.
@@molinparekh1386 Awesome, thanks I will try it out
I have been practising prolonged sessions with 8-10 minute warmups on each nostrils then 10 min alterating breating.
Twice a day and I feel so much more calmness and clarity.
What is the practise that goes well together with this practice? Thanks ❤🙏
Please use Tamil language for easy practice by those who can easily understand and practice correctly.Thank You.
Breathing should be chest or abdominal.
Namaste,
It is diaphramic breathing (chest). However, if you are targeting a special healing in digestive or below organs, you may perform the full yogic breath in Nadi Shodhana, though this has to be done very slowly. Hope this helps, thank you.
Piles vaale baith sakte hain vajrasana mein
Hi Deepak, It is not an issue sitting in vajrasana if you have piles, often it helps relieve mild pain and the inflammation. However if it is painful you can sit in any comfortable position. Hope this helps!
@@molinparekh1386 i I read it somewhere dat ppl suffering from piles shouldn't do this aasan as It pressures Full flow of blood in lower body
My nostrol is blocked after some seconds doing this
Hi, it is not uncommon to have a blocked nostril when you start alternate nostril breathing. Becoming aware of this is the first step. Continous practice will help balance this breathing. It may help you to do kapalabhati pranayama before Nadi Shodhana to help balance the breathing or a few rounds of Surya Namaskar to open both the nostrils. Hope this helps!
@@molinparekh1386 yes it does ! Thanks.
@@molinparekh1386 I got a headache from it, ist that normal? I also notice my left nostril very blocked.
@@MM-dz9fk Hi, You may experience headache when you initially begin your practice. Generally it is a mild headache as your body is releasing toxins as you balance your breathing. You may also have a blocked nostril. This is quite normal. Continous practice will help balance this breathing and relieve the headache. If the headache persists everytime or is quite severe please verify your technique with a qualified yoga practitioner. Hope this helps!
@@molinparekh1386 Thank you, yes, my left nostril feels completely blocked. I tried to clear it several times but it still always feels blocked. Would a steam inhalation with hot water and salt in a bowl help?
