• Boosted immune system
• Balanced emotions and mental clarity

Simple Pranayama Techniques to Get You Started

1. Deep Belly Breathing (Diaphragmatic Breathing): Place one hand on your chest and the other on your belly. Inhale deeply through your nose, allowing your belly to rise as you fill your lungs with air. Exhale fully through your mouth, feeling your belly fall. Repeat for several breaths.
2. Alternate Nostril Breathing (Nadi Shodhana): Close your right nostril with your thumb and inhale deeply through your left nostril. Close your left nostril with your ring finger, release your right nostril, and exhale through the right nostril. Inhale through the right nostril, then switch to exhaling through the left nostril. Continue this pattern for several breaths.
3. Box Breathing (Square Breathing): Inhale for a count of four, hold your breath for a count of four, exhale for a count of four, and then hold your breath for a count of four. Repeat this square pattern for a few rounds.

Regular practice of pranayama can create a profound shift in your well-being, helping you cultivate a deeper connection with your inner self and the world around you.
