Pranayama To Reduce Stress and Anxiety

Anulom Vilom, also known as alternate nostril breathing, is a traditional yogic breathing technique practiced for centuries. It involves inhaling through one nostril while closing the other, then exhaling through the closed nostril and inhaling through the previously closed one. This cycle repeats, alternating sides with each breath.

While more research is needed, studies suggest Anulom Vilom may offer several benefits for stress and anxiety:

Reduced stress and anxiety:

Activates the parasympathetic nervous system: Anulom Vilom may stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes relaxation and counters the fight-or-flight response triggered by stress and anxiety. Studies have shown it can lower heart rate and blood pressure, both indicators of stress reduction.

Promotes mindfulness and focus: By focusing on the breath, Anulom Vilom can help quiet racing thoughts and bring awareness to the present moment, reducing anxiety and promoting mental clarity.

Improves sleep quality: Reduced stress and anxiety often lead to better sleep, which can further improve mood and overall well-being. Anulom Vilom practiced before bed may promote relaxation and deeper sleep.
