Top Three Kundalini Yoga Breathing Exercises
- Taking Long Deep Breaths
Proper breathing is one of the things that most people take for granted. Instead of taking long and deep breaths, people often take short and shallow breaths. Long and deep breaths energize the body. Kundalini Yoga teaches long and deep breathing exercises as a part of its breathing technique. This breathing exercise aims to fill the lungs through the chest area. This helps energize all the nerve endings and the entire body as a whole.
- Breath of Fire
While the long deep breaths focuses on taking in as much air, the breath of fire exercise concentrates more on pushing the air out. In this exercise, you are pushing the air out of your lungs fast. When you exhale breaths of fire, you should you’re your breath making a “whoosh” sound. This breathing exercise helps your glands to secret, which helps purify the blood.
- Breathing Through One Nostril Alternately
As its name suggests, this breathing exercise is done by breathing through one nostril at a time. This will help you gain better concentration and let you energize your body more. For better results, focus on the silence and the stillness as you hold your breath, then release the air slowly. Breathing through one nostril at a time helps clear the mind and promote better concentration and focus.
