Sitkari (Teeth hissing)

Go to Pranayama home

Sitkari pertains to the sound made by drawing air in by means of the front enamel-both tightly closed or barely opened-with the tongue tip regulating the air stress and sound. This technique pertains solely to inhaling, except that exhaling usually takes place via both nostrils, after a regular full pause. The perimeters of the tongue is pressed in opposition to the tooth, lining the edges of the mouth, if they are closed tightly, or expanding between the higher and lower; sets, if the jaw is opened slightly. The sound, a sort of reversed hissing, like that made when one all of the sudden touches ice or a sizzling object or feels a draft of scorching or frigid air, should be regulated so as to be easy and to sound pleasant. The experience has been described as "sipping air." This method normally cools the mouth and will have each a cooling and a relaxing impact upon the entire body. Lips ought to shut at the end of inhalation, preparatory to holding the complete pause with chin lock. Closure of the lips ends the hissing sound, si, with a "sip."
