What is Nadi Shodhana Pranayama ?<\/strong><\/h2>

Nadi is called pulse and Shodhana means cleaning.<\/strong> Thus, this pranayama is being done since ancient times to clean the Nadis. It is said that Indian sages used to practice such yogic practices to keep themselves healthy. In simple words, Nadi Shodhana Pranayama is called Alternate Nostril Breathing Exercise, in which one has to breathe through one nostril, hold the breath, and then exhale through another.<\/p>

The Nadis in the human body are subtle energy channels. Nadi Shodhan Pranayama<\/a><\/span> is a process of breathing that helps to cleanse these energy systems and operate smoothly and thus calm the mind. Some yogis also refer Nadi Shodhana Pranayama as Anulom Vilom Pranayama.<\/p>
