Bhastrika Pranayama

Method of Practice: Bhastrika Pranayama

01
Sit comfortably in Sukhasana (Easy Pose). Keep your spine erect, eyes gently closed, and place your hands on your knees in Jnana Mudra (touching the tips of the index fingers and thumbs together).
02
Inhale slowly and deeply, filling the lungs completely. Retain the breath comfortably for a few seconds according to your capacity. Then exhale. Healthy individuals may exhale more forcefully, whereas those who are unwell or have respiratory weakness should exhale gently and comfortably.
03
Continue this practice for 5 to 10 minutes, or for the desired duration as per your comfort and experience.

Bhastrika Pranayama energizes and revitalizes the body by increasing the flow of oxygen and enhancing respiratory efficiency.
It helps improve lung function and may provide support in managing respiratory conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, and other breathing difficulties when practiced appropriately and under guidance.
It promotes the elimination of metabolic waste products, stimulates circulation, and enhances overall vitality.
Bhastrika also helps improve metabolism, which may support healthy weight management when combined with a balanced diet and regular physical activity.
