    Guided Pranayama with Kumbhaka (Breath Retention): Rewire Out of Fight or Flight

    Niv walks you through fundamental insights on kumbhaka - breath retention: an essential component of advanced pranayama techniques - and then guides you through a systematic pranayama practice to help you integrate kumbhaka into your everyday life.This feels especially relevant at a time when "urgency energy" seems to have plagued everyone's response patterns and is making the world sick. It is time to meet the present moment with a lot more inner-stillness and wisdom. Kumbhaka helps you bypass thousands of years of fight or flight reactivity patterns and elevates you into a more refined and intentional state of consciousness. You actually live, feel and respond as you intend to, not just as you're used to.For deeper context, listen to my past videos on:Pranayama: https://youtu.be/5InoymEW2no?si=vLYvBXx_afaRAG5YPranayama with Guided Practice: https://youtu.be/eNLKY-HWlN8?si=l4YNJmqJjVA_YVgCThe 5 Sheaths: https://youtu.be/a-i_jr6Wkg8?si=pCawzJHYK1UDI5z5Niv Rajendra is an expert health and longevity coach, Ayurvedic Practitioner and founder of the EMBODIED Ayurveda Programs.

    30-minute Guided Pranayama Sequence - Beginner Friendly/All Levels

    Niv guides you through a gentle Pranayama sequence suitable for all contexts and experiences. She begins with 10 minutes of inner posture and breath awareness (Prana Nigraha), and then eases you into 30 minutes of Pranayama. This sequence is safe to practice daily on an empty stomach. Pranayama is an ancient Yogic practice that helps to expand and harmonize the vital life force with you, through working with your breath, so that you can activate self-repair, mental mastery, internal regulation and detoxification, naturally from within. She touches on: Deep Yogic Breath (Diaphragmatic Breath or Belly Breathing). This is the foundational exercise that all beginners should start with to create spaciousness and ease in their practice. Ujjayi Pranayama (Victorious Breath or Ocean Sounding Breath). This is both tranquilizing and invigorating and improves focus. Sama Vritti Pranayama (Equal Breath). This basic breath focuses on having your inhalations and exhalations the same length. It brings immediate equanimity to the mind and can be returned to throughout the day. Nadi Sodhana Pranayama or Anuloma Viloma (Alternate Nostril Breathing). This intermediate practice involves breathing through one nostril at a time. It is a potent way to purify and balance your subtle energetic pathways. Bhramari Pranayama (Buzzing Bee Breath). This breath uses sound and inner vibrations to tune the mind inwards and soothe the nervous system. Ayurveda, Yoga and Tantra contain practices that help work with all your levels of existence, on all five planes, in all five bodies.

    Your Five Planes of Existence

    Niv breaks down the ancient Yogic concept the FIVE BODIES. How our existence as an individual entity can be categorized into five sheaths or energy bodies known as koshas, each more subtle than the other. And how and why your highest experience of radiance, creativity and health can only be achieved through knowing, purifying and harmonizing all five of these bodies. To summarize: The first layer is known as Annamaya kosha, the physical sheath, made up of food. The second is Pranamaya kosha, the vital energy sheath, forming a fine network through which prana flows. The third is Manomaya kosha, the mental sheath, which is a more concentrated and subtle form of energy that surrounds the Pranamaya kosha. The fourth is Vijnanamaya kosha, the intuitive sheath, an extremely rarefied field of energy, which is closer to spirit than to matter, surrounding the mental sheath. The fifth is Anandamaya kosha, the sheath of bliss, where prana-shakti is united with your supreme self. Ayurveda, Yoga and Tantra contain practices that help work with all your levels of existence, on all five planes, in all five bodies.
