Surya Bhedi Pranayama

To keep yourself physically active in the chilling winters, you must start practicing Surya Bhedi pranayama as it maintains the flow of energy in the body. There is a particular way of doing Surya Bhedi pranayama. You need to sit in a room on a woolen or straw mat with your neck straight and eyes closed. Then, you need to close your left nostril with your left ring finger. Take a deep breath and inhale the air as much as possible.
Now, shut your right nostril with your left hand thumb. Retain the air for as long as possible. Open your left nostril now and exhale gradually. You need to repeat this exercise at least 10—15 times a day.
There are a number of advantages of doing this pranayama. Firstly, it triggers blood purification and gives sufficient warmth to the body and helps in curing several dermatological and gastrointestinal diseases. It also improves the digestion and voice quality of a person.
