21 Day Breathing – Day 11

In this lesson, Dan Brulé introduces alternate nostril breathing, a traditional yogic pranayama practice. He explains that the technique involves exhaling through one nostril, inhaling through the same nostril, then switching sides, using the thumb and ring finger to alternately block each nostril. Dan emphasizes that in this practice the exhale is considered the first part of the breathing cycle, helping to reframe how you relate to your breath. He gives a clear pattern: exhale left, inhale left, switch; exhale right, inhale right, switch, repeating this cycle continuously. Dan recommends practicing for about 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes at night, noting that alternate nostril breathing is calming, balancing for the left and right brain, and a powerful daily exercise.
