    "I was just reading about this being a common result while practicing pranayama, along with sweating, gurgling in your stomach (afterwards), and a few other things."

    "common" maybe for those who keep on extending the length of breath?

    I don't know. I've experienced them with just 10 minutes of fourfold breath, counting to 10 at each phase. It's pretty individual, I think.

    Is this the noise of the air moving through your system that you're talking about? Or some other variety of noise?

    Moving through the nostril, yes.

    Well, you can take a look at your milk ingestion. It usually makes you nose a little more likely to get closed and making noises.

    Depending on where you live in Brasil, you may want to have a wet towel in you practice room.

    Rather common, in my experience.
    I would be more concerned if you were hearing anything else.
    Which may happen, though it should be handled with the standard procedure:
    Maintain focus on the task at hand and eventually it should subside.

    EDIT:
    I thought to add, that it could also be a sign of an issue.
    In example I am considered asthmatic and have a deviated septum.
    Thus my breathing is louder and more labored than average,
    and sometimes I get distracted by the fact that one nostril is taking in more air than the other.

    How many "breaks" do you record in this hour? [I'm just egging on this 'my prana is bigger than yours' thing - so ignore me]

    Breaks in pranayama? 😱 If you mean a point when the mind wanders a bit and can cause a few seconds of delay, perhaps, it can happen two or three times. If you meant something else, please clarify.

    Two or three times in an hour, that's excellent (provided you are recording correctly). Just saying that last bit because in other exercises I came to realize I wasn't actually aware enough to measure a break all the time. As I said, just ignore me. You're not playing the "who's prana is bigger game."

    Now now... 👿

    I think I can say that with a good amount of certainty because whenever my mind wanders during the practice, the quality of the breathing sucks and it affects everything until I return my awareness to the clock. The rest of the time (98% of the time, at a guess), I'm paying attention to the clock, so, if there was any significant gap of time between my moments of awareness, it would be evident. But, there isn't. 😀

    Me play good? 👿

    If you're "paying attention to the clock" and not the "results." Yes, you are playing good. But I'm still curious, who is bigger? 😆

    I was doing 22-11 (before that, 20-10) and just switched to 24-12. I used to do 30-15 but I just spent a few months without practice, so decided to start over. BTW, 30-15 is a pretty good breath cycle, there's isn't much immediate need to go beyond it.

    "93

    which part of Brazil are you Patrick? Maybe you should do pranayama to music, either Shakira or something from your parent's collection

    www.youtube.com/watch?v=FX0Hf85K90k"

    Southernmost. Vocal sound during pranayama disturbs my concentration.

    🙄
