Pranayama or Breathing Exercise

Kapalabhati

The practice of Kapalabhati Pranayama is useful in clearing the obstruction in the nasal passage. Highly recommended in finding relief from sinus, headache, cold and migraine, this kriya helps in draining the nasal path and cleanses the entire respiratory system by forceful exhalation.

Steps:
  1. Sit cross-legged as in padmasana posture and close your eyes.

  2. Start to inhale and exhale rapidly till you begin to sweat. In this kriya there is no retention of breath.

  3. During inhalation, draw in the abdominal muscles forcibly and release them during exhalation.

  4. With spine held erect, expulsions of breath should follow one another.
