Breathing Exercise for Weight Loss - Nadi Sodhana

http://www.rosecole.com - How to Do Alternate Nostril Breathing

If you don't do anything else, this is a simple yoga breathing exercise that can be done virtually anywhere, anyplace. You will be glad you did. It is simply dynamic!

The name alternate nostril breathing is due to the fact that we alternate between the two nostrils when we do the breathing. Yogis believe that this exercise will clean and rejuvenate your vital channels of energy, thus the name nadi sodhana (purification of nadis or channels).

With this exercise, we breathe through only one nostril at a time. The logic behind this exercise is that normal breathing does alternate from one nostril to the other at various times during the day. In a healthy person the breath will alternate between nostrils about every two hours. Because most of us are not in optimum health, this time period varies considerably between people and further reduces our vitality. According to the yogis, when the breath continues to flow in one nostril for more than two hours, as it does with most of us, it will have an adverse effect on our health. If the right nostril is involved, the result is mental and nervous disturbance. If the left nostril is involved, the result is chronic fatigue and reduced brain function. The longer the flow of breath in one nostril, the more serious the illness will be.

I’ve had the problem before as well, and what I’ve done is stretched open the nostril by pulling the side of your nostril with you fingers. It seems to work every time.

[WellnessWithRose]

It's 10 times from both nostrils. Enjoy!

Does controlled breathing exercises help reduce stress levels? yes. Does lowered cortisol burn fat? No. You really should read some actual evidence before offering up silly ass things like this.
