The relaxation goes, and we begin to introduce our first classical pranayama techniques, Nadi Shodana and Brahmari.
Nadi Shodana (alternate nostril breathing) - nerve cleansing - is effective at balancing the hemispheres of the brain, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, and the major nadis (energy channels) in the body.
The class closes with Brahmari pranayama, very calming for the mind.
