Nadi Shodhana, also known as alternate nostril breathing, clears and purifies the subtle channels of the mind-body while bringing balance to overall breathing.

Four-square or box breathing balances the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems to simultaneously cultivate energy and calm.

Coherent or resonant breathing is a simple but profound practice that slows the breath and quiets the mind.

This 30 minute restorative practice will help release and reset the hips.
