Deep dives

Effectiveness of Alternate Nostril Breathing

Alternate nostril breathing, a practice often used in yoga and mindfulness, involves breathing through each nostril separately to induce different physiological and mental states. The dominant nostril theory suggests right nostril breathing can energize, while left nostril breathing can relax. This practice is believed to increase mindfulness and awareness of breathing patterns. While there are theories about the effects of each nostril on brain hemispheres, individual experiences and techniques may vary in effectiveness.
