In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Himalayan Siddhaa Akshar, Founder of Akshar Yoga Institutions, Himalaya Yoga Ashrama and World Yoga Organisation, shared, “A relationship that improves together stays together; by improvement, we mean self-upgrading. Self-improvement might entail devoting time to skill development. This makes your relationship with your partner happier when you do it. You will rediscover one another as you go through a process of self-discovery together. This shared objective can help people connect, which will make you happier and more present in the moment. You may strengthen your link and feel more content in your relationship by sharing this sacred space on your Yoga mat.”

Method: The time it takes for your inhalation and exhalation should be in a ratio of 6:6, meaning that if you inhale in six counts, you need to exhale in six counts (Prapthi Mudra). Straighten your back and close your eyes. Pay attention to the passage of your breath through and out of your nostrils.
