The Secrets of Yoga – Intermediate Level To Alternate Nostril Breathing

The intermediate level is done by practicing three rounds of Nadi Shodhanam. Take three breaths (or more if needed) through both nostrils to recover the natural internal breathing.

After the first three rounds, the second round starts with the opposite nostril. The nostrils are alternated so that the third round starts with the same nostril as the first round.

As you progress in this practice, you will probably want to dedicate more time and attention to it. The goal is a smooth and serene breath, thus, you never want it to be uncomfortable or forceful.

All breathing techniques can be practiced twice a day. To obtain optimum results, they should be practiced after performing yoga asanas.

All of the breathing techniques will allow you to reach a meditative state. They also awaken sushumna (the central channel) which is the path to elevated states of being.
