Sheetkari Pranayama

Sheetkari Pranayama helps to improve memory and intelligence

Sheetkari Pranayama is very similar to the Sheetali pranayama and both are practiced specially during the summer months to provide a cooling effect on the body and the mind. Though the end objective of both the pranayama is same, the basic difference lies in the process by which both the pranayama are practiced. Unlike the Sheetali Pranayama, the use of teeth is prominent is the Sheetkari pranayama. This pranayama derives its name from the hissing sound produced by the clenched teeth which is quite similar to that of a python’s breathing.
