Stay Cool and Beat the Heat with Yoga: Refreshing Asanas and Pranayama

 

Certain yoga asanas (poses) and pranayama (breathing exercises) can create a cooling and calming effect on the body and mind, helping to beat the heat.

Cooling and calming effect:

These breathing techniques involve inhaling through the mouth with the tongue extended or creating a hissing sound while inhaling through the teeth. These practices are believed to reduce body temperature.
