Method, Precautions & Benefits of  Anulom Vilom Pranayama || Anulom Vilom Pranayama karne ka Tarika, Savdhania aur Fayde [2020-21]

Though Pranayama is done in many ways but 'Anulom Vilom' is the most popular and beneficial. Anulom means straight and vice versa. Anulom is related to the right nostril of the nose and the anterior end of the nose. In this type of pranayama, the breath is breathed in from the right orifice of the nose and the breath is exhaled from the left orifice. It is beneficial for the brain, heart and body.

Method Anulom-Vilom Pranayama 

1. Sit in any comfortable posture. Padmasana is best, but Siddhasana or Vajrasana is also fine if you cannot do Padmasana. If it is not possible to sit down, then you can also sit on the chair.

2. Close the right nostril with the thumb of your right hand. Inhale from the left nostril. Inhale slowly - count up to five in the mind. The left hand should rest on the left knee, keep the chin posture with this hand.
