Listen Later

Niv guides you through a gentle Pranayama sequence suitable for all contexts and experiences. She begins with 10 minutes of inner posture and breath awareness (Prana Nigraha), and then eases you into 30 minutes of Pranayama. This sequence is safe to practice daily on an empty stomach.

Pranayama is an ancient Yogic practice that helps to expand and harmonize the vital life force with you, through working with your breath, so that you can activate self-repair, mental mastery, internal regulation and detoxification, naturally from within.

She touches on: Deep Yogic Breath (Diaphragmatic Breath or Belly Breathing). This is the foundational exercise that all beginners should start with to create spaciousness and ease in their practice.

Ujjayi Pranayama (Victorious Breath or Ocean Sounding Breath). This is both tranquilizing and invigorating and improves focus.

Sama Vritti Pranayama (Equal Breath). This basic breath focuses on having your inhalations and exhalations the same length. It brings immediate equanimity to the mind and can be returned to throughout the day.

Nadi Sodhana Pranayama or Anuloma Viloma (Alternate Nostril Breathing). This intermediate practice involves breathing through one nostril at a time. It is a potent way to purify and balance your subtle energetic pathways.

Bhramari Pranayama (Buzzing Bee Breath). This breath uses sound and inner vibrations to tune the mind inwards and soothe the nervous system.

Ayurveda, Yoga and Tantra contain practices that help work with all your levels of existence, on all five planes, in all five bodies.
