SURYA NADI BREATHING

 (“Surya Nadi”) is like injecting a double shot of espresso straight into your brain.

Right nostril breathing activates the sympathetic nervous system — your body’s fight-or-flight mechanism. But it does it in a fun, quirky, “Oh my God, I’m about to meet Beyoncé” kind of way, not the “There’s a bear chasing me” variety. Research has shown this increases alertness, energy levels, and metabolic rate.

Again, the steps are not exactly rocket science:

1. Close your left nostril with your left thumb.
2. Inhale and exhale through the right nostril for a few minutes.
3. Feel the air rush into your lungs and light up whatever’s left of your desiccated soul.
