Have you tried this pranayama?

Feeling stressed, worried or low on energy? Your breath can be one of the quickest ways to shift how you feel.

 This is my all time favourite pranayama – explained in just 1 minute! 💛

Tibetan Purification

Intention: balancing
Length: you choose. I usually do 3 – 5 minutes

It’s a bit similar to Nadi Shodhan but we’re adding a beautiful mudra. It gives your brain something extra to focus on, which is very useful when your mind is busy. (I feel seen!) ☺️ And it adds another dimension to the practice! 
And I often include this in my yoga classes and the response is always amazing! 
I’ve been asked so many times to record how to do it – so here you go! 💕 A little video from my roof here in Goa. Love the sounds!

You’ll find it here, on my instagram account. 

If you’re not on instagram: just let me know (send me an email) and if there’s enough interest I can post a little video on my website as well.  
EDIT! Thank you for all your wonderful emails! Now I’ve added the video: see below! 

Btw I learnt this pranayam from Julie Martin and Emil Wendel at Brahmani Yoga here in Goa many years ago and it’s STILL my favourite! 

 
If you’d like more videos with simple explanations about breathing exercises, let me know by sending me an email. .-)

 Much Love,
Jennie 💛

Side note: have you heard that it’s sometimes called “pranayam” and sometimes “pranayama“? Do you know why?

  • Pranayam is Hindi,

  • Pranayama is Sanskrit 🙂 

(I speak Hindi, but I use both Hindi and Sanskrit terms when I teach.) 

Another question that often comes up is:

  • “Is pranayama the same as breathwork”? 
    and:
  • “What’s the difference between pranayama and breathwork?” 

I have a LOT to say about it, which might be useful for both yoga teachers and practitioners, so I’ll write about it in one of my upcoming newsletters. 

 

My intention with all my classes is to offer the nervous system repeated experiences of safety through clear sensory input, support, rhythm, and choice, so that the brain starts to feel safe enough to allow change to happen. Gently, not with force. Please note that this is NOT a complete class: edit it to fit your students needs and your authentic way of teaching.  Please only teach yoga or meditation if you’re qualified to do so.
