Alternate Nostril Breathing Prenatal Yoga Technique

And then the second technique it's also a meditation which is used to still the mind and to calm and quiet is Alternate Nostril Breathing. And this technique is practiced with your left hand in the Mudra with the first finger and the thumb touching. The right hand is in the Mudra with your first two fingers towards your thumb and your ring finger extended out and you use your ring finger and thumb on your right hand to block the flow of breath through your nostrils. So as you inhale through both nostrils you can close the block now and then you lift your right nostril to exhale. Inhale through the right close block both, exhale through the left, inhale through the left, close block both, exhale through the right. And just doing that for as many rounds as you feel comfortable and as you do that trying to just allow yourself to relax and calm and feel the shoulders opening, the heart center opening.
