Moorchha Pranayama

Traditionally practised seated, inhaling fully, retaining the breath with a chin lock, and gently tipping the head back until a light, swooning sensation arises. That sensation is the intended effect — which is exactly why this can't be safely self-taught from a screen.

This is one of three techniques Shwasly doesn't guide directly. The entire method depends on a teacher watching you in real time and stopping you before the intended light-headedness becomes something more. Available with Premium via a live session with a certified teacher — request one below.
