Magnificent pranayam teaching. Honestly I love your style your knowledge your beautiful manner. Thank you very much Lucas for your generous sharing of theses life changing breathing practices. I am retired from yoga teaching and look to your teaching to continue to learn and practice. Mellaine from 🇦🇺
Thanks Lucas. The animation helped 🙂. Of course, watched the video first and then started the practiced. Gets pretty intense towards the end. Namaste 🙏
I liked it a lot ! Thank you. Usually I did alternate nostril breathing without ujjai and the reason I stopped after 4 years daily practice because my left nostril got always blocked after this pranayama. However when I tried as explained here with ujjayi my both nostril remained open during after the practice. I am planning to continue doing it and I would like to learn more
I'm glad to hear you found the recommendation helpful! Continuing with ujjayi breath in your alternate nostril breathing practice sounds like a positive step. Exploring more through the 21-Day Yoga Breathing Challenge could deepen your understanding and practice further. Keep up the great work! You can find it here: www.yogabody.com/breathing/
Amazing exercises. Thank you for sharing. My holistic doctor told to do this breathing technique, but he also said to breath in for 1 to exhale the count of 2, so if I breath in 4 count to breath out 8 count. He suggested for me to look more into it and I found your channel. Could you direct me or explain the benefit of what you are doing 4 to 4, as opposed to 4 to 8 count that he recommended? Thank you.
Breathing ratios, like 4 to 4, aim to balance inhalation and exhalation for a rhythmic flow. This can enhance focus, calmness, and oxygenation. However, the 4 to 8 ratio you mentioned can promote extended exhalation, fostering deeper relaxation. Both approaches have merits; choose based on your needs. - YOGABODY Team
It's great, but I dont understand: 1) the purpose of altrrnating. 2) if it is a water exercise (so we look for a balance between symp and parasymp systems) why should I make the noise, which is for the parasympathetic (so more wiskey)? Thank you for the answers :)
Hi Daniele To answer your questions-- 1) Alternating nostrils helps balance the flow of energy between the left and right sides of your body, promoting harmony in your nervous system. 2) The ocean sound (Ujjayi) adds a calming effect, but when used with a balancing exercise like this, it helps fine-tune that balance without overly stimulating the parasympathetic system. Hope it helps! -YOGABODY Team
@@YOGABODY.Official sure It helps, thank you!. I have plenty of questions like this one (as I told to your colleaguenof he customer support, Miss. K), so today I'll buy the breathe coach course!
If you rarely have both nostrils free, you can still practice alternate nostril breathing. Simply focus on the nostril that is more open and use that one for both the inhalation and exhalation. This will still provide the balancing and calming effects of the practice.
That's okay! If only your left nostril is working, you can still practice alternate nostril breathing by using your left nostril for both the inhalation and exhalation. Give it a try!
@@YOGABODY.Official Thanks, I will. I actually found that after trying to force the right nostril a couple of times, that today it seems a little bit less blocked, and I can manage a very noisy 4 second inhale/exhale! I'll keep going with it and see if it results in a longer term improvement.

Any advice on doing this when my nose is chronically partially blocked?
It's great, but I dont understand:
1) the purpose of altrrnating.
2) if it is a water exercise (so we look for a balance between symp and parasymp systems) why should I make the noise, which is for the parasympathetic (so more wiskey)?
Thank you for the answers :)

For how many minutes would you recommend for someone with panic disorder to do this breathing exercise?
Start with a few minutes and gradually increase as you feel comfortable. It's important to listen to your body.

@@YOGABODY.Officialthis was my 1st time. I stopped and looked to see how many more mins and started again because it was almost done, phew. I did it.
Looks good but, sadly, I have a deviated septum, and the nostril just closes.
Why don’t I see the PDFs that Lucas says are “down below”???
I don't mention anything about a PDF in this video, did you mean to ask this in a different video?
i very rarely have both nostrils free, how might i approach this?
If you rarely have both nostrils free, you can still practice alternate nostril breathing. Simply focus on the nostril that is more open and use that one for both the inhalation and exhalation. This will still provide the balancing and calming effects of the practice.
Why do you have to have your fingers like that? Why can’t you just use the tip of the index finger for the other nostril?
The hand method he uses is a type of mudra
but... what does this do? 🤔
My hand kept cramping😢
shake your hand out and try your other hand instead, see how that feels for you
I kept thinking I am watching Zelenskyy 🤣
My right nose hole is blocked 💀
My right nostril doesn't work!
That's okay! If only your left nostril is working, you can still practice alternate nostril breathing by using your left nostril for both the inhalation and exhalation. Give it a try!
