Shilpa Shetty’s step-by-step guide to Bhramari Pranayama
Shilpa shared a step-by-step guide to Bhramari Pranayama in her post. She explained, “Close your ears and your eyes, shut yourself from the outside world, look within, touch your tongue to your upper palate, take a deep breath in, and do the humming sound. This Bhramari breathing is one of the most powerful Pranayamas.”
She highlighted the multiple benefits: “It releases neurotransmitters that regulate emotions, reduces anxiety, alleviates depression, and even helps with Alzheimer’s. Bhramari also increases nitric oxide production and the flow of oxygen to the brain.”
Shilpa added, “It improves blood circulation, regulates blood pressure, and reduces inflammation, which can help people with arthritis. I consider this a complete Ram-Baan treatment. Do it for at least 5 to 11 rounds, or more if you like. As I always say, stay healthy, stay happy.”
