This training type, as well as "Harmony" and "Power", is derived from Pranayama, an ancient Vedic technique of breathing gymnastics, and is translated from Sanskrit as "Energy channel purifying".
Anulom Vilom is considered as first stage of Nadi Shodhana. Also "Energy channel purifying" pattern enhances the effect of "Clear mind".
In Prana Breath this training type is adapted even for people that don't practice Yoga and/or don't have much time for practice but still need its effect.
Setting the training
- Download this pattern if you don't have it yet.
- Choose this pattern in Training tab or Control tab.
- Set the optimal training complexity so the training brings you joy, yet doesn't seem too easy. Use the options in Control tab and/or Dynamic tab to adjust all parameters.
Training process
- Choose the comfortable position.
- Empty your lungs, breathing out with effort, with your right nostril closed.
- Make a full inhaling ("Inhale") though your left nostril.

- Inhale through your right nostril.
- Hold your breath again.
- Close your right nostril, and exhale through the left one.
- In case you do stage 3 patterns, sustain your breath again.
- Keep breathing, alternating nostrils, till the end of your training session, following the breath method indicator.
- After you're done, you might take some time for meditating and contemplating yourself.
- NB! Make sure you don't press down on the nostril too hard so the septum is pushed off the center, or so your head starts leaning.
