Bhramari pranayama translates to humming bee breath. It’s a simple breathwork practice that utilizes sound by humming on the exhalation.

This sound and exhale emphasis helps to calm your nerves by stimulating your vagus nerve which has a direct impact on regulating your parasympathetic nervous system correlating to rest and digestion, slowing your heart rate, and reducing blood pressure.

The practice:

Find a comfortable position - soften into your body finding a relaxed posture
Close your eyes
Inhale drawing the breath in through your nose
Exhale with your mouth sealed and hum as you slowly release
