Bhramari pranayama is also known as "bee"breath, a humming sound is created on the exhalation. It is recommended to practice Bhramari on an empty stomach, either early in the morning or 3 or 4 hours after a meal. This type of breathing technique is very calming for the nervous system and can help concentration and memory, it can also be used if you are experiencing some sort of anxiety or unquiet period in your life. Pregnant women can practice this but without holding the breath at any time. It is not to be practiced if you have an ear infection. Place your fingers on the head as explained in the video but be careful not to press the middle finger to hard into the eyeball.

This is wild. I enjoy playing around with the modulation with my hum. It really clears the head through the tapping points on the face. This is calming and restorative. A great gift.

As a singer, I like very much the concept of this pranayama. I have a long history of headaches due to a jaw injury, and the vibrations of humming and the resonance in the nasal cavities often help to relieve their severity. I encourage others to embrace their voices in exercises like these and in chanting. After all, everyone can sing!

Very interesting technique, I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you Adela! While I understand that all the Pranayama techniques where strong abdominal contractions are implied better are done on an empty stomach, I wonder why it is necessary for this one? Do you have any further information on that, Adela?

Magdalena, it also has to do with the way energy is diverted, when practicing yoga and pranayama, the energy should be solely directed to perform the asanas or pranayama, if we practice with food in the stomach there is still energy being used for digestion. It is also recommended to empty the bowels before doing pranayama.

Hi Adela, I just watched your class and tried the pranayama one single time. I'd like to practice it since I was tormented by headaches all my life long. But do you know whether it is suitable if one is suffering from Meniere Syndrome?

An excellent pranayama.... I was a migraine patient for 13 long years.... I controlled my migraine just by doing this pranayama for 3-4 times in a day... Within 1 month the intensity and the frequency reduced like a magic. Am a yoga teacher now and have helped a lot of people for migraine .... Such a wonderful pranayama which keeps u cool through ought the day ! I love it !

Boah, that's been loud in my head though I tried whispering bee ;-). I felt comfortable to repeat it three times, four times made me somewhat restless. This been a weirdly pleasant experience and now my head is sort of humming head...

Daniela,
Sorry it took me so long to respond, I've been checking with some of my teachers and in my pranayama books about your condition, it is always said that there are no contraindications to practicing Bhramari Pranayama, but, as Myrthe said, I think the best would be to check in with you doctor. Good luck!

I cant hear any sound at the outbreath. Is it the same as ujjayi breath?
Stine11.12.2017
Same question here, what sound?
Adela20.12.2017
Hi!, I just realized that Esther has no microphone in this video, so, that's probably why you don't hear the sound....It is not Uyaji, it is really like a humming bee sound within your head. It is difficult to explain it in writing...I'll see if we can repeat this video again with the sound on. Thank you for pointing this out.

Hi Daniela,
I think the best thing to do is to check with your doctor!
