HOW TO DO KAPALBHATI.

In this enlightening video, we delve deep into the transformative practice of Kapal Bhati, a dynamic yogic breathing technique that can rejuvenate your body and mind. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or a beginner, Kapal Bhati offers incredible benefits for your overall well-being.

- Sit comfortably in Padmasana or Sukhasana.

- Make sure your spine is erect and your shoulders are relaxed.

- Place your hands on your knees, palms facing upward.

- Take a few normal breaths with awareness to bring attention to your natural breath rhythm.

- Inhale and exhale sharply, forcefully and quickly. As you do so, keep your facial muscles relaxed. You will find that you are using the muscles of your throat. Avoid flaring your nostrils and try not to move your body too much.

- As you continue to take sharp breaths, the friction will create moderate sounds.

- Your breaths are short, sharp and forceful. See that they are equal in inhalation as well as exhalation.

- Taking 10 such breaths is one round. You can practice 3 to 5 rounds as a beginner.

- After completing, take a few deep, slow breaths, and sit quietly for a moment, observing the effects of the practice on your body and mind.

Join us on this journey to unlock the secrets of Kapal Bhati and harness its incredible potential. Incorporate this ancient practice into your daily routine and experience a positive transformation in your life.
