SKY Breath Meditation

Über

SKY Breath Meditation, also known as Sudarshan Kriya Yoga, is a powerful technique that utilizes specific breathing patterns to reduce stress and anxiety. Developed by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, it involves rhythmic breathing exercises that promote relaxation and mental clarity. This practice is particularly effective in balancing the autonomic nervous system, increasing the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps in reducing stress and promoting rest. SKY Meditation includes techniques like Ujjayi, Bhastrika, Om, and Sudarshan Kriya, each offering unique benefits such as improved lung capacity and increased oxygen uptake. Regular practice has been shown to decrease cortisol levels, enhance immune function, and boost well-being hormones like prolactin. It is widely used to manage depression and anxiety, providing a rapid response to mental health challenges. This technique is accessible and has been taught globally in various settings, offering a holistic approach to mental and physical well-being.
