Sheetali Pranayama

Recognized as 'cooling breath' technique, this form of pranayama is

believed to cool the body and prevent overheating. In this technique, the

practitioner rolls his tongue into the shape of a tube with the tip out of the

mouth. Air is inhaled through the tongue and exhaled using the Ujjayi

technique, that is exhalation with the mouth open like you’re trying to fog

up a mirror. Try exhaling the sound “HAAAAH”

Note: Yoga exponents recommend that this form of pranayama should be

avoided in very cold weather or places. Also, those with asthma or respiratory

problems should check with their doctor before practising this.
