In Ayurveda and yogic science, each nostril corresponds with a different energy principle:

• The left nostril connects to ida nadi — calming, cooling, lunar energy.

• The right nostril connects to pingala nadi — warming, energising, solar energy.

This simple yet revealing practice helps:

• Prepare the body for deeper pranayama

• Improve nostril patency and breath awareness

• Balance the autonomic nervous system

• Notice habitual breath imbalances or tendencies

• Reset focus and internal clarity

Perfect for before meditation, as a morning ritual, or to wind down with curiosity and calm.
