    Pranayama: Timing with heartbeat?

    Pranayama: Timing with heartbeat?


    Timing with heartbeat?

    Posted: 11 Jan 2021 12:46 AM PST

    Hi all,

    I've been practicing pranayama for a few years on and off and have recently returned to a progressive practice of Nadi Shodhana with Kumbhaka between asana and meditation in the morning. I was taught to count by seconds and am currently at 10:20 without Kumbhaka.

    Recently I've been exploring moving with the natural rhythm of the body at any given time. So I move according to my natural breath in asana practice, and now time my pranayama according to my own heart rate variability.

    The Hatha Yoga Pradipika talks about timing with mantra and other less generally standardised methods than "seconds". Does anyone else have experience with this kind of personal timing?
