Kapalbhati Pranayama
Kapalbhati Pranayama
Method of Practice
Method of Practice: Kapalbhati Pranayama
- 01 Sit comfortably in Sukhasana (Easy Pose) and place your hands on your knees in Gyan Mudra (touching the tips of the index finger and thumb together).
- 02 Forcefully exhale through the nose while simultaneously pulling the abdomen sharply inward. Continue this rhythmic movement of active exhalations.
- 03 Begin with 2 minutes of practice and gradually increase the duration to 5 minutes as your comfort and experience improve.
- 04 In Kapalbhati, no conscious effort is required to inhale. After each forceful exhalation, fresh air naturally enters the lungs. The abdominal contractions should be gentle and controlled rather than excessively forceful.
