Breath of Fire and Alternate Nostril breathing combine as the perfect pair for those who experience concern about their lungs before, during or after infection with Covid-19.
Breath of Fire is a kriya (or lung cleansing exercise) that involves rapid/forceful expelling the breath out through the nostrils, which reduces CO2 levels in the blood and increases O2 availability – creating a “total cleansing of the lungs” – which can be a non-pharmaceutical preventative measure for viruses that affect the lungs. This practice also strengthens and tones the abdominal muscles, supports weight loss & improves digestion.
Alternate nostril breathing is a balancing exercise for the brain and nervous system. This practice balances the right & left hemispheres of the brain, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system – and thus it improves concentration and relieves mental and physical stress.
