Pranayama - Part 3: Sheetali Pranayama
Our third video in a series on Pranayama. This video covers Sheetali Pranyama.
Sheetali pranayama is a breathing technique to reduce heat in the body. It is often referred to as the “Cooling Breath”. Using the cooling tendencies of the tongue, sheetali pranayama only allows cool, relaxed breaths to enter the body. These breaths have the effect of lowering the temperature of the body, as well as cooling the mind. People with disorders resulting from excess heat in the body/mind, such as high blood pressure, acidity, or ulcers will benefit greatly from the daily practice of this pranayama. Remember, since this technique is very cooling to the body, it is preferrable to practice it in warm weather compared to cold weather.

Hi Rishi,
Such a great idea to create these videos. There is not enough information on pranayama out there, at least not in English.
The only DVD I have is from Swami Ramdev ji. I have 7 other ones from him too, but they are in Hindi and unluckily I don't understand them, but nevertheless I have purchased them. I always wondered why they could not translate them too. Pranayama is not very popular in the west, not as much as yoga is, but mainly because there is not enough proper information, or videos, or teachers...
Love that you are doing it.
