Step-by-Step Technique (Right Hand – Vishnu Mudra)

  1. Sit comfortably — Cross-legged on floor/mat (or chair if needed). Spine straight, shoulders relaxed, eyes closed or soft gaze.
  2. Hand Position: Right hand — fold index and middle fingers. Use thumb to close right nostril, ring + little finger to close left nostril.
  3. Preparation: Take 2–3 normal deep breaths.

Breathing Cycle (One Round):

  • Step 1: Gently close right nostril with thumb. Inhale slowly and deeply through left nostril (count 4–6).

  • Step 4: Inhale through right nostril (count 4–6).
  • Step 5: Close right nostril, hold 4–8 counts.
  • Step 6: Open left nostril, exhale slowly (count 6–8).

Beginner Ratio: 4 (inhale) : 4 (hold) : 6 (exhale) : 4 (inhale) etc.

Number of Rounds:
