<div class="editor-content"><p><span>Join me for one of my favorite pranayama practices, Bhramari Pranayama, or bee breath! The low pitched hum of Bhramari Pranayama stimulates the vagus nerve which in turn helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system. This breath practice effectively helps us to find CALM. It is beautiful for relieving tension, anxiety, and frustration. This is a wonderful practice to work with if you are wanting to take your pranayama to the next level. However, this humming breath can also be very playful and fun - which makes it perfect for all ages! <br><br>Fun Fact: Bhramari Pranayama is named after the black Indian bee called Bhramari! <br><br>You can also practice this breath lying down on your back or side. <br>This pranayama is suitable for those who are pregnant. <br><br>Let me know how it goes for you in the comment section!</span></p></div>
<p>Bee breath with hands on the ears was lovely, I have tinnitus that luckily for me I've been able to live with without too much difficulty (yoga has definitely helped cope with it) but after some fun (but loud!) nights out lately I've noticed a change, the humming tone with hands over ears is a great tool that helps to refocus. I am exploring more practices to support the nervous system to see if they make any difference to the tinnitus - it seems one of those mysteries that my doctor says they don't know too much about, would love any suggestions!</p>

<p>It was a pleasant surprise to see a new video had been uploaded this morning. I did this after Home day 1 which I'm revisiting. It's funny how my hum really did sound like a bee 🐝. I like how you've coordinated yourself and your room with yellow and black (bee colours) your top and leggings and the yoga blocks and flowers. This was a fun and calming practice. Thank you🥰🙏</p>

<p>My adult daughter is on the autism spectrum & has hummed since she was an infant. I think I get it more after this practice. 🐝</p>

<p>I am brand new, day 1 member to FWFG. I'm interested to from Adriene's team or any of you who might know if there is anything to be concerned about if my hum started out quite smooth, but as my breath starts running low, it turns into a glottal fry sound -- rather bumpy. I'm excited to have this new tool to help with anxiety.</p>

<p>My “bee teetered off at the end of each breath”. Hmmm</p>

<p>I really enjoyed this video. When I was a teacher, I taught this to my class and being in a room of 33 children all buzzing was quite the experience 🥰. I hope that they still use this skill when they need it. 🐝🐝🐝</p>

<p>Loved this oractice! The bee breath is so calming and meditative. My pup didn’t know what was going on and I couldn’t help but laugh when I opened my eyes to see him staring at me 😂</p>
