Nawa Sankya Pranayama: For Energy & Focus

Nawa Sankya, or the 9-count breath, is a pranayama (breathing exercise) accessible to everyone. This is an energising practice, as well as a great pranayama, to help focus the mind. It is also a great practice to start working with breath retention and suspension and to connect with diaphragmatic breathing. This traditional Hatha yoga pranayama is a perfect addition to your morning practice.

That was the first time I've tried that particular pranayama practice and I found it invigorating. Great way to start the new year. ✨💫 Thank you!

A new technique for me, I found it is very effective first thing in the morning. Really appreciate this pranayam

Her pranayams breathing exercises are excellent. They're so easy to understand and follow.

Thank you!

Hello beautiful 🌺🌺🌺thank you so much for the wonderful breathing practice 🍒I feel wonderfully relaxed and I’m smiling ☀️have a sweet day 🙏Namaste

I loved this breathwork practice. I did a 2nd round after the end of this track and really felt sensations in my third eye and throat chakras, followed by a long breath rentention and hold that brought me great clarity.

as I learn about the path of the yogi from the Bhagavad Gita, I am continually astounded by the great, silent wisdom that exists within.

looking forward to continuing this practice; grateful to learn another breathing technique through my practice of cultivating equanimity in my waking life. 😌🙏🏾

Thank for a clear quick and simple explanation for this beneficial practice!

Very nice! This really helped me deepen my otherwise shallow morning breathing. Thank you for sharing 💚

Perfect thank you 😊🙏🏻

Excellent instruction. Thanks.

It was great that you explained the breathing upfront before starting which made it easier to follow along - thank you!

Lovely to attempt, a little difficult to do but I'll keep trying and I'll get there I'm sure. It's the inhales that get me, I find it hard to inhale so quickly for a count of only 1 into the belly and then the chest. Is it just like an in breath to fill the belly and then the chest to a count of 2? Or could I do that instead? Orrrrr, does it have to be jerky, like pull it into your belly only for 1, then your chest only for 2, because THAT'S what I struggled with, I'm a deep breather normally but I did manage to do a 'box breathing'/DMT and 4-7-8 breathing meditation the other night which was a lot of work and rounds but I did it, it is similar to Wim Hof's method and that's a challenge isn't it so I'm proud I managed that but I'm just struggling here. Any advice would be greatly appreciated for the in breaths.

Tysm and I just want to say, I appreciate your time and kindness for letting us experience your free meditations, for the ones who need it and can't afford a membership (like me lol), it's extremely appreciated.
