Viloma Pranayama is a beginner-friendly yogic breathing technique that incorporates brief pauses during the inhale and/or exhale. In this meditation, you will practice stage 1 viloma pranayama, which incorporates 3 pauses during the inhalation and allows the exhalation to be slow and continuous, without interruption. This technique may help to improve breath and lung capacity, focus the mind, and provide a sense of calm and balance. You can find Stage 2 on my profile or in my playlist titled "Breathing/Pranayama". Please Note: interrupted breathing exercises are not recommended during pregnancy or for those experiencing hypertension, heart disease, chronic bronchitis, or asthma.
