Bhramari Pranayama also known as Nasal Snoring is different and more difficult compared to mouth snoring. This technique is beneficial to expecting women to prepare them for labour. The vibrations of the soft palate are caused entirely by air flowing in and out through the nostrils unlike in mouth snoring. The lips remain closed in Bhramari. Before practicing Bhramari, it’s better to start with practice of snoring through mouth which develops some voluntary control over the vibration process of the palate, in turn developing the approach control gradually. Once you are well practiced in mouth snoring, you will be able to practice Bhramari with ease.

The soft palate should be lifted sufficiently toward the top of the pharynx in order to produce flutter which is often quite hard to control. The sound that is produced is commonly described as quite similar to the buzzing sound of a bee. In Bhramari, you breathe in and out through both the nostrils, producing a buzzing, snoring, or humming sound in both directions. The sound your inhale and exhale produce may be different: inhaling produces a higher pitched sound than exhaling that produces a lower pitch sound. Bhramari involves rapid inhalation producing a high pitched humming sound somewhat like the sound of a male bee and slow exhalation producing a low humming sound which is like the sound of a female bee.
