DETOX with SITALI PRANAYAM YOGA LIVE
The cool factor. How to get it? Practice Sitali Pranayam — also known as Cooling Breath. If you're hot or hot-headed, this is your cure. :)
Benefits of Sitali:
regulates digestive + sexual energy
relaxes the body + mind
cools anger + fever
detoxifies
brings concentration + clarity + calm
HOW TO DO IT: Curl your tongue { like making a "taco" when you were a kid } by curving the sides upward. Let your tongue stick out just past your lips.
NOTE: If your tongue doesn't curl, bend the sides up as much as you can and make a slight "o" with your mouth. You'll still get the cooling drag of air across your tongue exactly as intended.
Inhale deeply through the tongue and mouth. You'll feel a cooling sensation as the air glides through your tongue. Breathe into the belly, filling yourself up.
Exhale fully through your the tongue and mouth.
NOTES: The tongue may taste bitter at first — a sign of detoxification and purification. This is good! As you continue to practice, your tongue will become sweet.
The shifts you'll feel after practicing Sitali Pranayam are profound, like stepping out of an old you and into a new, clear, purified self!
