Alternating Air

Set the stage for a peaceful night's sleep or a deep meditative state with our 'Nadi Shodhana Night' session. This practice offers a slow variation of the ancient Nadi Shodhana, or Alternate Nostril Breathing, technique, accompanied by a soundscape of calming frequencies and delicate piano accents. Designed to soothe your mind and body, this session is an ideal preparation for sleep, meditation, or simply unwinding after a long day.

In Sanskrit, 'Nadi' refers to the subtle energy channels within the body, while 'Shodhana' means purification. This practice, therefore, is not just a breathing exercise; it's a holistic technique aimed at cleansing and balancing these energy pathways. As you engage in Alternate Nostril Breathing, you'll find a rhythmic, soothing pattern that helps to harmonize the left and right hemispheres of the brain, fostering a sense of equilibrium and calm.

The session's soundscape enhances the experience, with growing synths that gently swell in harmony with your breath, and the soft, crackling patter of rainfall that adds a layer of tranquility and comfort. These auditory elements are carefully chosen to deepen your relaxation and aid in the transition into a restful state, whether that be sleep or meditation.

Nadi Shodhana is renowned for its health benefits. It's a classic pranayama technique that has been shown to improve lung function and lower heart rate, blood pressure, and sympathetic stress – the body's stress response. This makes it an exceptionally effective technique to employ not just before sleep, but also before important meetings, events, or any moment that requires you to

be at your calmest and most centered.

During the session, you will be guided through the Alternate Nostril Breathing technique, which involves gently closing one nostril while inhaling through the other, then switching nostrils for the exhale, and repeating this pattern. This simple yet powerful method helps to regulate the flow of air and energy through your body, promoting mental clarity and physical relaxation.

Whether you are a beginner to the practice of pranayama or a seasoned practitioner, our 'Nadi Shodhana Night' session offers a valuable tool for calming the mind and preparing the body for rest. Embrace this ancient technique, enhanced with a modern soundscape, to find your inner peace and drift into a state of deep relaxation and rejuvenation
