6. Chin Lock (Jalandhara Bandha)

This pose will assist to normalize not only the blood flow but the energy to the brain as well. It is widely used in other poses i.e the bridge pose or yoga breathing.

If you are constantly stressed out, the alternate nostril breathing (Nadi Shodana) can aid in this. A customized version of this is carried out while lying down in the corpse pose or savasana, with chest raised and arms placed towards your side. To perform this posture, breathe in simultaneously from one nostril and breathe out from the other without utilizing your fingers to cover up each nostril.

Follow the steps:

• Be seated on a comfortable position on the floor or surface keep your shoulder blades firm alongside your back to permit your sternum to be raised. Ensure that your ribs in the front of your torso must not jut out.
• Keep your chin rested securely on your sternum, with both the chin and the raised sternum meeting halfway between the two. Ensure not to only drop your chin all the way without raising the sternum. The base of your chin and front of your neck must encounter at the “crook.” It must be drawn up transversely to the top of your spine and into your skull. To do this, your chin must drop and your head may pivot, drawing the top of the sternum up.
• Breathe in when your head is straight position and employ this chin to lock toward the end of the breathing (inwards). Hold this lock as you maintain the breath. When your breath is out, raise your head back to a neutral pose until you breathe in again.
