To practice, gently close one nostril and inhale through the other. Switch sides, exhale, then inhale through that same nostril before switching again. Continue slowly and comfortably for 3–5 minutes.

Regular practice may help reduce stress, quiet mental chatter, and create a sense of balance before sleep, meditation, yoga, or a stressful moment.

The goal is not to force the breath—it is to slow down, pay attention, and reset.
