A short daily practice, taught properly — from a yoga school in Rishikesh.
Ten minutes a day. No experience needed. A chair is completely fine.
Free. One email a day for seven days. Unsubscribe any time.
| Day | Practice | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Breath observation | Shows you how you're actually breathing |
| 2 | Dirga — three-part breath | Uses your whole lung capacity, not the top third |
| 3 | Extended exhale | The most reliable calming technique in the tradition |
| 4 | Nadi Shodhana | Alternate nostril breathing, taught correctly |
| 5 | Bhramari | Humming breath — the one people write in about |
| 6 | Ujjayi | The "ocean breath" you've been cued but never taught |
| 7 | Building a practice | How to keep it going, and what we left out |
Each day: one short video, one email, ten minutes of practice.
Most free breathing content teaches the most impressive techniques it can. This series deliberately leaves two of them out — Kapalabhati and Bhastrika — and Day 7 explains exactly why.
Forceful breathing and breath retention are where the documented problems with pranayama come from. They're contraindicated in pregnancy, high blood pressure, heart conditions, glaucoma, epilepsy and panic disorders — and there's no way for a video to know which of those applies to you.
Everything in these seven days is safe to practise alone, unsupervised. That's the design, not a limitation.
E-RYT 500 · M.A. Yoga · Rishikesh
Tara teaches pranayama for Rohit Yoga Academy. Alongside the E-RYT 500 he holds a Master's degree in Yoga — his training is in the tradition itself, not a method invented on top of it.
Yes. Seven emails, seven videos, no card required.
Ten to fifteen minutes, including the guided practice.
No. Day 1 assumes nothing at all.
No. Sit on a chair if that's easier.
About one email a week. There are paid courses if you want to go further — the live Breath Reset workshop is the usual next step — but nothing in the series pushes you toward them until Day 7.
Every technique here is chosen to be safe for general practice. But if you're pregnant or have high blood pressure, a heart condition, glaucoma, epilepsy or a history of panic attacks, please check with your doctor first — and skip anything that doesn't feel right. Nothing here replaces medical advice.
