Find some relief from the summer heat with the cooling breathing techniques of sitali and sitkari pranayama.

Here is a short guide to follow to help cultivate an evening Bhramari pranayama practice to relax the mind and body for a good night’s sleep. Bhramari Pranayama is a breathing technique that has an extended exhale with a low humming sound coming from the throat. The practice is named after the large Indian carpenter bee, hence the nickname, Humming Bee Breath. 

Walking meditation is a natural, intuitive way to connect your body and breath while deepening your awareness of the present moment. It’s a beautiful alternative to seated meditation, especially if you feel the need to move or want to explore mindfulness through motion.

Rooted in yogic tradition, the Five Nyasa—or Five Finger Breathing Technique—gently connects the annamaya, pranamaya, and manomaya koshas. This practice helps dissolve excess stress, grounds the mind, and brings a deep sense of calm.
