Named after the black Indian bee, Bhramari Pranayama means “humming bee breath.” Humming vibration soothes nerves, releases serotonin, and quiets the mind. Traditionally practiced to prepare the mind for meditation. By humming as you exhale, you create vibration through the skull that stimulates the vagus nerve, increases nitric oxide, and relaxes your body into calm alertness.
