Bhrāmarī — the one that hums like a bee (bhramara). It is characterized by the soft sound during exhalation, like the humming of a bee.

The humming is produced with the mouth closed, vibrating in the throat and sinuses. The vibrations resonate in the skull.

It is a calming, relaxing prāṇāyāma. The vibrations stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress and anxiety.
