SITALI PRANAYAM & ANAHATA YOGA LIVE SITALI PRANAYAM: Inhale / Exale through the ROLLED TONGUE - POWERFUL DETOX. STIMULATE ANAHATA & HEAL THE STOMACH with Cooling Breath - SITALI Pranayama -Curb Anxiety and Halt Hot Flashes. Sitali which means cool, is a method of yogic breathing that reduces the fire energy principle we call pitta which is associated with catabolic processes in the body. Yogis likely have our animal friends to thank for this one - try it and you be the judge. 1. Curl up the sides of your tongue and stick the tip outside your lips. Use your teeth gently to keep tongue in place, lips kept as relaxed as possible. (If you cannot ROLL YOUR TONGUE: Purse your lips into a tiny "o" shape, like a reaching kiss. Keep your tongue inside floating , so it doesn't touch teeth or gums.) 2. Slowly inhale through your mouth, feel the cooled air. If your mouth becomes dry, be patient and slow it down more. 3. Exhale even more slowly as you inhaled. The air will exit your mouth, so feel the heat exiting too. Many female yoga students use the technique to control hot flashes. It has been a boon in their high energy, fast-paced office environment as it helps them to regain calm composure when needed. Practice of Sitali will begin to cool the body's core temperature in about 4 minutes. It also 'cools' the mind or activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is our gateway to personal tranquility and relaxation.
