Show Notes
This traditional pranayama technique aims to balance the two main energy channels, the Ida and Pingala Nadis, through alternating the breath through the nostrils. In yoga, Nadis are subtle channels through which energy flows, and this energy has an influence on how we feel. The Ida Nadi represents the more calming, cooling lunar energy that supports more restful states. The Pingala Nadi represents the more dynamic solar energy that supports more active states. Each of these channels is linked to a nostril, and so this technique aims to both clear and balance these two channels

This episode is a rerecording of episode number 47. It recently came to my attention that the audio quality in some of the previous episodes is not great. I record and edit all the episodes of this podcast myself, while trying to juggle a busy professional and family life. I didn't do as good a job of this as I could have at times. The audio quality here should be a bit better, and I do apologize to anyone who has listened to an episode with poor quality in the past.
