Origin, history
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 "Back and forth", or "Alternate nostrils".
It is considered to be the first stage of Nadi Shodhana Pranayama.
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.

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.
