The cooling breath for Pitta

Some of yoga's oldest wisdom concerns the cooling of internal heat — and the classical texts give a direct tool: Sheetali and Sheetkari, the cooling breaths. For the Pitta constitution, prone to overheating in body and temperament, these practices are a precise remedy.
Sheetali Yoga is a breath-centred class built around these cooling techniques. It works where Pitta lives — in the fire of digestion, focus and emotion — and lowers the heat directly through the breath. In the Dubai summer especially, it is one of the most valuable practices a Pitta type can have.
What happens in the class
The class combines gentle, cooling movement with focused pranayama practice, centred on Sheetali (breathing across a curled tongue) and Sheetkari (breathing through the teeth) — techniques that measurably cool the body — along with Chandra Bhedana, the cooling left-nostril breath. The pace is slow and calm throughout, and the practice closes with a cooling meditation to settle the whole system.

Benefits

  • Directly cools internal heat in body and mind
  • Calms irritability, frustration and a sharp temper
  • Soothes acidic digestion associated with high Pitta
  • Especially valuable in hot weather
  • Balances Pitta through the breath
