Nadi Shodhana Pranayama | Alternate Nostril Breathing

Come join me under the apple tree for a short nadi shodhana pranayama practice. We’ll move through alternate nostril breathing with a steady four-count breath, accompanied by soft background music, before taking a few quiet moments in stillness.
Best suited to those who have practiced nadi shodhana before.
