Upsplash
Exercises and breathing patterns are a part of pranayama. You deliberately breathe in, breathe out, and hold your breath in that order.
Upsplash
Inhale deeply while in Padmasana or Sukhasana, then exhale through your nostrils with a light breeze. Do it every day for five minutes.
When in Padmasana or Sukhasana, the abdominal muscles are fully contracted as the breath is exhaled via the nose. Inhalation happens automatically.
Upsplash
Sitting in Padmasana breathe in through one nostril holding the other closed with finger. Then, seal the other nostril and breathe out from other.
