Why practice Alternate Nostril Breathing?
Research shows that doing regular alternate nostril breathing for up to 30 minutes a day can lower your stress levels. Other studies suggest it also helps to reduce your heart rate, lower blood pressure, promote feelings of wellbeing and improve lung function.

- Sit comfortably on the floor or on a chair, keeping your back straight but relaxed.
-
Place your RIGHT thumb on the RIGHT side of nose to close off nostril.
- Take a slow, smooth deep breath in through your LEFT nostril.
- Close your LEFT nostril with your index finger while releasing your thumb from your RIGHT nostril. Breathe out slowly through your RIGHT nostril.
- Keep your LEFT nostril closed, breathe in through your RIGHT nostril. Then close this nostril again.
-
Open your left nostril and breathe out through it.
- Repeat 6 - 8 times for up to 5 minutes.
- **If you feel dizzy, stop and breathe normally.**

Try to do five minutes of alternate nostril breathing per day to reap the most benefits. But be gentle with yourself if you canāt get the hang of it right away.
