Sitkari Pranayama




Position : Sit in any meditative posture or comfortable sitting position.

Practice :
 
  • Fold the tip of the tongue inwards and press the root of the upper palate with the tip of the tongue. The folded tongue slightly comes out between the two rows of the teeth and provides a narrow opening on both the sides.
  • Slowly suck the air in, which enters in through the two sides of the tongue. Feel the cool air movement in the mouth which move down the trachea into the lungs.
  • Slowly close the mouth and exhale through the nostrils. Feel the warm air touching the walls of the nostrils.
  • Repeat the practice 6-9 rounds.

Benefits :
  • It lowers the body temperature and calms down the mind.
  • It helps to reduce high blood pressure.
