Show Notes
Surya Bhedana Pranayama is one of the classical breathing techniques of Hatha Yoga. It involves breathing in through the right nostril, and out through the left. It is a variation on Alternate Nostril Breathing which aims to stimulate the Pingala nadi, an energy channel that in hatha yoga is linked to the sun, heat and activity. Modern studies have shown that the right nostril is linked with the left side of the brain, which is sometimes associated with linear, rational thinking, and the sympathetic nervous system, the part of our nervous system that mobilizes us for action

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.
