8 breathing techniques to calm anxiety
Sitkari Pranayama
This technique is for those who cannot curl their tongue, which is needed for Sitali Pranayama.
What to do:
Open the mouth slightly with your tongue just behind your teeth. Inhale slowly through the space between the upper and lower teeth, allowing the air to wash over your tongue as you raise your chin toward the ceiling. At the end of the inhalation, close your mouth and exhale through your nostrils as you slowly lower your chin back to neutral. Repeat for 8 to 12 breaths.
