Nadi Shodhana is a yogic breathing technique that involves inhaling through one nostril, closing it, exhaling through the other, and repeating on the opposite side. This practice is known to calm the mind, reduce stress and anxiety, improve focus, and balance the nervous system by regulating the flow of energy (prana) through the body’s subtle channels (nadis). It activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation, and may enhance respiratory and cardiovascular function. | Nadi Shodhana is a yogic breathing technique that involves inhaling through one nostril, closing it, exhaling through the other, and repeating on the opposite side.
