18 min pranayama w/ Deepthi: sama vritti
Deepthi Rao
•
18m
Start the pranayama series with Deepthi here. Sama Vritti also means equal parts. In this practice we re-train our breath to inhale, exhale and retain the breath for an equal amount of time. This pranayama is effective to build clarity and helps regulate the nervous system.You can do this at any time during the day to help center and ground.
If holding the breath / retention creates effort or agitation, simply alternate between inhale and exhale. If you are familiar with Ujjayi breath, you can use that here.
This practice is contraindicated for those with active nasal or chest congestion.
