Show Notes
Sitali Pranayama is a traditional Yogic breathing technique used to reduce heat, both physically and energetically. For this technique the tongue is curled up so that it works almost like a straw which we use to breath in. This air picks up moisture from the tongue, which gives the breath a cooling effect

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.
