It’s time to write your bucket list 📝 Often we struggle to come up with our ‘big plans for the year’ in January.
Either we lack inspiration, motivation or we write almost and then forget about it…!
This is all normal - January is still winter - a Season for relaxation and recharging.
Now that spring has sprung - how do you feel?
What adventures are calling you?
What habits are you ready to release?
Get outside & let the ideas flow 💚🌊☀️

Kapalabhati Pranyama - Breath of Fire

This technique is a favourite of ours when it comes to blowing off steam OR

Take control of those butterflies in your tummy with this exercise.

The main focus here is on powerful, forced exhalation to clear out stale air & energies which no longer serve you!

Here's how:
1. Take a comfortable seated position
2. Bring your hands to your lower belly
3. Begin by deepening the breath through the nose - both the inhale & exhale - to get the oxygen flowing
4. When you are ready - take a deep inhale, allowing your belly to swell like a balloon
5. Then begin pumping the air out through your nose with forceful, short puffs. You should feel your belly push in with each puff - like bellows!
(Aim for 30 short, sharp, outward puffs for each inhale)
6. Once all the stale air is out - allow a long, passive inhale to reinflate your lungs

Some tips include:
- Blow your nose before hand(...!)
- When exhaling - imagine you are trying to blow out the candles on a birthday cake with your nose
- Try to keep the rhythm of the out-breaths regular and even (keep each puff the same length & force)

Chandra Bhedana Pranyama - Left Nostril Breathing

Chandra = Moon or Ida
Bhedana = piercing or enter or breaking through something

In Yoga there are many channels (nadis) through which our energy (prana) flows.
2 of the main channels are:
- Ida - on the LEFT side of the body. Associated with Feminine, lunar, calming energy
- Pingala - on the RIGHT side of the body. Associated with Masculine, solar, active energy.

When we practice Chandra Bhedana - we engage the Ida nadi - to strengthen lunar energy, to generate a state of feminine flow & calm.

This breathing technique is also thought to help reduce heat in the body - and any associated inflammation/ tension.

Are those work calls & deadlines getting on top of you? Give this practice a go!

Here's how:
1.Find a comfortable seat.
2.Prepare Vishnu Mudra - with the Lefthand -both the index finger and the middle finger have to be touched with the root of the thumb. The rest of the fingers are upright. (This mudra stimulates the first three chakras – The Root, the Sacrum and the Solar Plexus)
3.In ChandraBhedana (Left Nostril Breathing) pranayama, inhalation is done only through Left nostril and exhalation is done only through Right Nostril.
4.The thumb is used to close the left nostril and the ring finger is used to close the right nostril.

Pranayama beginners should start with the ratio of 1:1 for inhaling and exhale.

As you progress, the ratio for inhaling and exhaling can be changed to 1:2, which means if inhalation is 4 seconds, then exhalation is 8 seconds.

Ujjayi Pranyama - Ocean Breath
(Pronounced - OOO-JAY-YEE)

For many of us this is the first Pranyama exercise we come across when we pick up yoga.
Ever heard someone breathing like Darth Vader in a class? If so - this is why!

Ujjayi breath is associated with:
- Promoting concentration (especially in class when the poses/ flows get challenging)
- Building internal heat
- Grounding us in the present moment

Here's how:
- Come into a comfortable position - the beauty of this technique is you can do it in any Asana (pose)!
- Begin by bringing your focus to your natural breath
- Then begin to constrict the back of your throat on the inhale & exhale - tucking you chin in slightly to elongate the back of your neck
- You will notice a 'hhhhh' sound
- Be sure to keep the breath smoothe & to allow air to flow (the objective isn't to make it hard to breathe!!!!)
- Elongate the exhale with each breath you take

(Imagine you are trying to fog up a mirror - but with your mouth closed!)

Give this a try anytime you need to regain focus on the task at hand, or control racing thoughts!

Surya Bhedana Pranyama - Right Nostril Breathing

Surya = Sun or Pingala
Bhedana = piercing or enter or breaking through something

In Yoga there are many channels (nadis) through which our energy (prana) flows.
2 of the main channels are:
- Ida - on the LEFT side of the body. Associated with Feminine, lunar, calming energy
- Pingala - on the RIGHT side of the body. Associated with Masculine, solar, active energy.

When we practice Surya Bhedana - we engage the Pingala nadi - to strengthen solar energy, to increase warmth, willpower, and enthusiasm

Personally, we follow the Ayurvedic practice of taking 18 right nostril breaths before rising from bed each morning...

Give it a go & see if it gives you a little boost when the mid-afternoon slump hits!

Here's how:
1.Find a comfortable seat.
2.Prepare Vishnu Mudra - with the right hand -both the index finger and the middle finger have to be touched with the root of the thumb. The rest of the fingers are upright. (This mudra stimulates the first three chakras – The Root, the Sacrum and the Solar Plexus)
3.In Surya Bhedana (Right Nostril Breathing) pranayama, inhalation is done only through Right nostril and exhalation is done only through Left Nostril.
4.The thumb is used to close the right nostril and the ring finger is used to close the left nostril.

Pranayama beginners should start with the ratio of 1:1 for inhaling and exhale.
e.g. - If you inhale through one nostril for 4 seconds, then the exhalation from the other nostril should also be for 4 seconds.

As you progress, the ratio for inhaling and exhaling can be changed to 1:2, which means if inhalation is 4 seconds, then exhalation is 8 seconds.
