Hillary Clinton Practiced Pranayama To Recover From Election

 
How to recover from a virtually never ending presidential campaign? Try alternate nostril breathing. Yes, maybe we’ve been inundated with politics to the max lately, but we have to wonder how politicians, you know, the ones who live it every day, how to do they cope? Besides daily Twitter rant storms, of course.
You may not be surprised to learn that plenty of Chardonnay asana factored into Hillary Clinton’s recovery from the chaos that was Indecision 2016 and the writing of her new book, but the interesting tidbit is that she also dug into a tall glass of pranayama (nadi shodhana aka alternate nostril breathing, to be specific) as she told CNN’s Anderson Cooper in a recent interview.
Those keeping score at home would know that HRC had already spoken about practicing yoga (hashtag butheremails), but this is particularly interesting because it’s more about picking herself up after a blow to the gut (and probably the worst news of her life), rather than just trying to keep up, as in during the campaign.
In case you missed it, here’s Secretary Clinton being candid (and also somehow coy) about her grounding pranayama practice. How many other politicians can you think of who might benefit from, we don’t know, taking a deep breath here and there

What I Know for Sure


Oprah Winfrey



"When you nurture your body it reciprocates."

"I won't waste a meal by eating food that doesn't fully satisfy me."

"Getting my lifelong weight struggle under control has come from a process of treating myself as well as I treat others in every way."

"The ultimate in being healthy is to operate at full throttle—physically, emotionally, and spiritually."

"Making the decision to look after yourself is the ultimate in healthcare."

"I don't believe in accidents. I know for sure that everything in life happens to help us live."

"Alone time is when I distance myself from the voices of the world so I can hear my own."

"A little restoration goes a long way."

"I've learned not to worry about what might come next."
