What are some pranayama exercises I can try if I am a beginner?
gpt
Pranayama is a yoga practice that involves managing and controlling the breath and can aid in mental and physical health and well-being. There are a few different pranayama exercises that are recommended for beginners:

- Ujjayi pranayama involves exhaling with an open mouth, feeling the breath moving across your throat, and imagining you are fogging up a glass with your breath by gently constricting the throat. As you become more comfortable with this style of breathing, you can try closing your mouth and inhaling and exhaling through your nose.

- Sama Vritti Pranayama, or box breathing, involves inhaling for a count of 4, holding for 4, exhaling for 4, and again holding for 4. This cycle can be repeated for a few minutes. It should help you feel calm and relaxed. 

- Dirgha pranayama, commonly referred to as three-part breath, involves quickly stopping your inhalations and exhalations with short pauses. It involves inhaling until one-third of the lung's capacity is filled, then pausing for 2-3 seconds. Then inhale another third and pause for 2-3 seconds. Lastly, inhale until the lungs are completely filled. Then repeat this same pattern on the exhale.
