FROM TERRI:
Thank you for practicing with me on Power Living® TV. Alternate Nostril Breathing, Nadi shodana, is one of the most powerful breath techniques. You can do it to quiet the mind before meditation, re-focus in the middle of the day, or cleanse your energy for a deep sleep. It’s good for anxiety or if you’re feeling a little off and want to come back into alignment. If you’re about to give a big presentation, this is the breath to do. It’s said to balance the left and right hemispheres of the brain so I use it when I need mental clarity--before I write or start a creative or strategic project.
Nadi means “channel” and shodhana means “cleansing” so it’s literally cleansing the energy channels in the body. It also regulates the cooling and warming cycles of the body and lowers the heart rate to relieve tension. Over time, you can slowly increase the count as you get deeper into the practice. Keep at it three or four times a week to feel the benefits. Hold off on practicing it if your nasal passages are blocked or if you have high blood pressure. Otherwise, it’s a real power tool. Enjoy... and remember you have the power to choose how to BE in every moment of every day. Choose to shine your light and make a declaration: I Am Power Living!
With Purpose & Power,
Terri

ABOUT TERESA KAY-ABA KENNEDY
In 1997, Terri was in the hospital dying. As the youngest Vice President at MTV Networks, she had reached success by external measures but was not managing herself very well and her workaholic lifestyle triggered an autoimmune response and diagnosis of Crohn's Disease. Having grown up with yoga and holistic health practices (inspired by her mother), she healed using her own integrated protocol including yoga, meditation, a gluten-free plant-based diet and mindset shift. Then, she dove deeply into what made the human body, brain and spirit thrive and dedicated her career to helping others transform. As President & CEO of Power Living Enterprises, Inc., her mission is to unleash human potential and create a just and sustainable world.
An award-winning author and speaker, she has trained thousands around the world in her “whole-person” approach to wellness, mindfulness, leadership, and authentic success, melding her experience as a Harvard Business School-trained strategist, Master Coach, Yoga Teacher and Certified Holistic Health Counselor with the latest research in neuroscience, positive psychology and performance. Called “smart with a heart,” she was selected as a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader recognizing her “professional accomplishments, commitment to society and potential for shaping the future of the world.” Her work has been featured in various media including Oprah’s book, Live Your Best Life!
She has taught yoga, meditation and mindfulness for 20 years around the world and has in-depth teacher training at the 700 hour level: Dharma Yoga, Integral Yoga, Tao Porchon Yoga, Vinyasa Krama Yoga with Srivatsa Ramaswami, Yoga Philosophy with Swami Ramananda, Yoga for Kids/OM Yoga, and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction. In 2002, she founded the Ta Yoga House, one of the first yoga studios in Harlem. She served six years on the Board of Yoga Alliance, and was their Interim CEO and first African American Chair of the Board. She was one of the first African-Americans featured on the cover of Yoga Journal. As biographer and protégé of yoga master Tao Porchon-Lynch, she co-authored two award-winning books, and spent a decade traveling the globe with her curating 66 one-of-a-kind events at places like the United Nations and World Government Summit in Dubai and working with notables such as Sadhguru and Dr. Deepak Chopra. Tao and Terri were also featured in the Athleta “Power of She” campaign for empowering women and girls.
