ABOUT PRANAYAMA: These two simple breathing exercises, or pranayamas, are two of the most important yoga breaths you will learn.
Alternate nostril breathing is great for bringing awareness to the breath, the sensations of the breath and for creating balance.
Breath of Fire is used to stimulate the kundalini energy, create inner heat and to cleanse the blood.
Both are great to help freedivers connect with their breath and to begin using yoga and meditation as part of their training.
