Today, we're going to see how to begin your mornings with a 5-minute pranayama practice. We all know that mornings can sometimes be a bit hectic. But this quick pranayama practice will energize you and set you up for a wonderful day ahead. So, let's see how to do so!

Yogendra Pranayama I/Equal Breathing

Alright, first we have Yogendra Pranayama I, also known as Equal Breathing. This technique is all about finding balance. Sit comfortably with your back straight, and inhale deeply through your nose for a count of four. Then, exhale through your nose for the same count of four. The idea here is to make your inhales and exhales equal in length, helping to calm the mind and steady your breath. Let's do it - inhale... two, three, four... exhale... two, three, four. After doing a few rounds of this keep your eyes closed for some time and observe how you feel. This pranayama will help you breathe fully throughout your day. Eventually that would help you stay energetic through the day.

Ujjayi Pranayama/ Victorious Breath

Next is Ujjayi Pranayama, also known as the victorious breath. This one affects the throat region and benefits the thyroid gland. Start by taking a deep breath in through your nose while constricting the back of your throat, creating a gentle sound. Then hold your breath for a few seconds and then exhale through your nose normally. Ready? Inhale through the nose with the sound, hold, and then exhale through your nose. Do this for a few rounds and then sit for some time with your eyes closed. This pranayama helps you cool down your body.

Bhastrika Pranayama/Bellows Breath

Now, let's move on to Bhastrika Pranayama, or the bellows breath. This technique increases your lung capacity, purifies your lungs and strengthens your core. Sit up straight and inhale and exhale deeply and fully using your diaphragmatic muscles. You will feel your abdomen being pulled in during exhalation and expand during inhalation. This pranayama helps in digestion, hence doing this pranayama early morning can result in good assimilation of food through out the day.

Anulom Vilom/Alternate Nostril Breathing

Next pranayama is Anulom Vilom, the alternate nostril breathing technique. This one is amazing for balancing your energy channels and calming the mind. Close your left nostril with your ring finger and little finger of your right hand and inhale deeply through your right nostril. Then, close the right nostril with your thumb and exhale through the left nostril. Now, inhale through the left nostril, close it, and exhale through the right. Continue for a few more rounds. Then relax your hand, breathe normally and observe the sensations. This pranayama helps in attaining focus. Practicing this pranayama every day help you stay focused through out the day.

Bhramari Pranayama/Sound of the Humming Bee

Lastly, we have Bhramari Pranayama, also known as the bee breath. This technique is perfect for calming the mind and reducing stress. Close your eyes, take a deep breath in, and exhale while making a gentle humming sound like a bee. Repeat for a few more rounds and then sit still for a few moments while breathing normally. This will help you stay balanced through out the mind. It keeps you calm throughout the day.

Now that we've completed these powerful pranayama techniques, take a moment to rest and simply observe your breath. Allow yourself to relax and be in the stillness. Just breathe naturally, letting your body and mind settle.

A morning pranayama practice like this sets a positive tone for your day by boosting your energy and improving your focus. It can improve your lung capacity, increase oxygen flow, and strengthen your respiratory system. Remember, you don't need a lot of time to get the benefits of these powerful techniques. Just five minutes in the morning can make a big difference. Give it a try and find out for yourself.
