Day 1 – Pranayama for Deep Sleep

Namaste, welcome to Day 1 – Pranayama for Deep Sleep (Watch here: https://youtu.be/BNXPBrFHyGA).

 

Because everything changes when we sleep well.

 

I’ll admit it—I’m guilty of reaching for my phone when I wake up in the middle of the night. Just a “quick check”… and suddenly I’m wide awake, scrolling, thinking, planning. Sound’s familiar?

 

But here’s the thing: just a few deep, conscious breaths—especially diaphragmatic breathing—has helped me drift back to sleep more often than I can count. No apps, no hacks, no noise. Just Breath.

 

Why I chose SLEEP as the start of this journey.

 

In today’s world, we’re eating more, moving less, and definitely sleeping less.

 

The irony? Sleep is our foundation.

 

It’s when:

Our cells repair

Our brain resets

Our emotions are digested

Our body finally feels safe enough to heal

 

Without sleep, even the best intentions—be it yoga, healthy eating, or mindfulness—start to feel exhausting.

 

That’s why we begin the 9-Day Pranayama Journey here, with something that feels so basic, but is so deeply powerful: rest.

 

Today’s practice includes:

Diaphragmatic Breathing

Bhramari Pranayama

Nadi Shodhana

 

Gentle, calming, and perfect before bed. Come breathe with me.
