How to Do Pranayama Yoga!

What are some common benefits associated with regular pranayama practice?

The steps to get started with pranayama in points:

Find a Comfortable Position:

• Sit in a quiet and comfortable place, either on a chair or on the floor.
• Maintain a straight back and relaxed shoulders.
• Use a cushion for lower back support if needed.

Focus on Your Breath:

• Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths.
• Let go of any thoughts or distractions.
• Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth.

Practice Diaphragmatic Breathing:

• Place your hand on your lower abdomen.
• Breathe deeply, feeling your belly expand on inhalation and contract on exhalation.
• Focus on diaphragmatic breathing as the foundation of pranayama.

Try Alternate Nostril Breathing:

• Use your right thumb to cover your right nostril and inhale through the left nostril.
• Cover your left nostril with your ring finger and exhale through the right nostril.
• Continue this alternate nostril breathing pattern.

Practice Ujjayi Breathing:

• Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth, making a soft "ha" sound.
• Practice ujjayi breathing to calm the mind and reduce stress.

Regular Practice:

• Practice these techniques for 5-10 minutes daily.
• Gradually increase the practice time as you become more comfortable.
