Here, I share the specific breathing and cleansing techniques I use to help you align your mind, body, and soul. ## Photos and videos - [Video: A demonstration of Anulom Vilom (Alternate Nostril Breathing) by a resort pool.

Whether you are dealing with city stress or preparing for a high-altitude trek, mastering techniques like Anulom Vilom for nervous system regulation or Udyan Bandha for abdominal toning is how we clear internal blockages. It is not about performing perfect poses; it is about learning how to pause, reset your nervous system, and find your center from the inside out. ### Understanding the Inner Landscape In the chaos of modern life, *sab log kuch na kuch ikattha kar rahe hain* (everyone is gathering something), but we rarely pause to check our own alignment. My approach to Kriya and Pranayama is simple: use ancient wisdom to solve modern problems like anxiety, poor posture, and shallow breathing. ### Core Practices * **Anulom Vilom (Alternate Nostril Breathing):** I often teach this to help balance the brain's hemispheres. It is the quickest way to calm a racing mind, lower stress, and improve mental clarity. You will see me practicing this even by the pool—it is portable, simple, and effective. * **Bhastrika (Bellows Breath):** For those living in cities like Delhi, pollution and poor lung capacity are major issues. I use Bhastrika to strengthen the respiratory system. It is particularly helpful for acclimatizing before heading to the mountains. * **Udyan Bandha (Abdominal Lock):** This Kriya is about toning abdominal organs and directing energy upward. It requires patience and consistency, but the stability it provides to the core is unmatched. ### Why Practice Matters Yoga isn't an escape from reality; it is a way to face it with clarity. You do not need to be flexible to start—you just need the willingness to show up. Whether we are practicing in a studio or by a flowing stream in Rishikesh, the goal remains the same: *Samatvam Yoga Uchyate* (Yoga is balance). If you are feeling misaligned, let’s start with a simple breathwork session. ## About Sachin Singhal I believe yoga is an internal journey. My role is to help you align your mind, body, and soul—much like how a car’s wheels need alignment to run smoothly. I have spent over a decade learning and teaching these practices, and I am here to guide you toward finding that same silence within.
