In Sanskrit, Nadi Shodhana translates as “subtle energy clearing breathing technique.” Alternate nostril breathing may help to relax your body and mind, promote overall well-being, reduce anxiety and help increase focus and awareness.

In Sanskirt, Kapal means ‘forehead’ and ‘Bhati’ means ‘shining' and there are many benefits to this pranayama practice. Kapalbhati helps cleanse the lungs and entire respiratory system, increasing a supply of oxygen to cells. Digestion is improved and abdominal muscles are strengthened. It prepares the mind for meditation by drawing attention inwards, and energising the body and mind for mental work.
