Beat Anxiety in minutes with Yoga Alternate Nostril Breathing
Hello My Beauties,
We all have anxiety - some more than others. So, this tip is for everyone: One breathing technique in yoga is to breathe through alternate nostrils one at a time. Pinch your nose with your thumb and middle finger. Lift to open one nostril and inhale deeply (about four beats), then switch to open the other nostril and exhale completely. Repeat a few times, then switch your pattern to start on the other side.
Why this works: Your breath is like a remote control to your brain, and when you force your breath to slow down, you force your thoughts and your heart rate to calm down. Bonus: It's also super distracting when your brain has to think about breathing in only one nostril at a time so you get automatic mindfulness with this technique!
