Nadi Shodhana

Nadi Shodhana Breathing Technique

February 12, 2020 By Laura Coan

Nadi Shodhanana breathing is most typically known as Alternate Nostril Breathing. It’s a very powerful breathing practice with an incredibly diverse benefits. Nadi comes from Sanskrit meaning “channel” or “flow.” Shodhana also comes from Sanskrit means “purification.” As it sounds, Nadi Shodhana clears and purifies the subtle channels of the mind and body. In addition, since it alternates between the right and left sides of the nostrils, it balances the masculine and feminine sides of the body.

You might have done this breathing technique in a yoga class or heard of it outside of class. Laura made a video to help you explore the benefits of this type of pranayama below.
