This study assessed the effect of alternate nostril yoga breathing (nadisuddhi pranayama)
on P300 auditory evoked potentials compared to a session of breath awareness of equal …

Background: In earlier studies uninostril yoga breathing was shown to influence the activity
of the cerebral hemispheres differently, based on (i) auditory evoked potentials recorded …

Attention was influenced by yoga breathing in previously published research. Each yoga
breathing practice uniquely modifies specific breath characteristics. Differences in the study …

The immediate effect of two yoga breathing techniques was assessed on verbal and spatial
memory tasks, considered hemisphere-specific. Forty-five participants (24 males; age range …

A previous report described selective electrical activity of the cerebral hemispheres with
uninostril breathing. In the present study, middle latency auditory evoked potentials …

The effect of right, left, and alternate nostril yoga breathing (ie, RNYB, LNYB, and ANYB,
respectively) were compared with breath awareness (BAW) and normal breathing (CTL) …

Background Previously, forced unilateral nostril breathing was associated with ipsilateral, or
contralateral cerebral hemisphere changes, or no change. Hence it was inconclusive. The …

Objectives: The study was conducted to compare the P300 event-related potentials recorded
before and after (1) high-frequency yoga breathing (HFYB) and (2) breath awareness …

Uninostril breathing facilitates the performance on spatial and verbal cognitive tasks, said to
be right and left brain functions, respectively. Since hemispheric memory functions are also …

Background: Previous studies assessed yoga breathing practices individually. This
exploratory, randomized crossover study assessed attention and anxiety following four yoga …
