Bhramari Pranayama Video

Bhramari Pranayama (Humming Breath)

In this Ayurveda pranayama video, you will be led through a 10 minute Bhramari Pranayama breathing practice. Bhramari pranayama is used most often when people are experiencing the emotions of fear, worry, anxiety, and nervousness. These emotions are most often associated with vata dosha, so this breathing practice is recommended for vata individuals and people experiencing negative vata emotions. This form of pranayama connects us with the Divine Mother and the Divine Feminine within us all. It is associated with the ajna chakra or the third eye chakra. This is the chakra of divine intelligence and intuition. Bhramari means “bumblebee.” This breathing practice is named after the bumblebee because of the humming sound you make during the exhalation of this breathing practice. This humming sound is said to resemble the sound of a bumblebee buzzing. When you practice bhramari breathing, you vibrate the vocal cords and create a resonating sound in the body which works to calm the nervous system and relax the body. Now press play on the video and follow along as you are led through the Ayurvedic pranayama technique of Bhramari pranayama or humming breath.
