Suryaabhyas is a breathing practice similar to Suryabhedan in Hatha Yoga Pradipika. However, in case of Suryaabhyas, inhalation & exhalation are both done from the same nasal passage i.e. Right Nostril.

As the name indicates, this practice works on activating Pingala Nadi or Surya Nadi and brings all the characterisitcs of Sun in you.

Some of its major benefits are burning the toxins in the body, thereby detoxifying the body to make it pure. Person with Kapha pravriti or Asthma, Bronchities benefit from regular practice of this practice.
