Kapalbhati

Описание: #pranayama #yogicbreathing

Kapalbhati is a simple yet powerful breathing technique that can be done anywhere anytime including while you're driving albeit done on public transit may raise eyebrows.😳

Classically, this is done sitting cross legged on a firm cushion. However, no matter how you are seated, keeping your spine long, with attention to it's natural curves and positioning your knees no higher than your hips is most important for achieving a comfortable seated position.

The technique consists of a forceful exhalation with a passive inhalation all through the nose. You can do this at any speed. I do 100 at a time (takes me a minute) but start with 20, then 40 and 60. You will get the hang of this quickly.

Here are the myriad reasons how this daily practice will benefit you:
1) Purifies Blood, Removes Toxins, Cleanses Sinuses ( claims to cure Asthma and Wheezing)
2) Massages Abdominal Organs and Tones Abdominal Muscles, plus flatten your tummy
(my goal)
3) Improves Liver function
4) Increases Metabolic Rate
5) Supports Thyroid and Lymphatic function
6) Sharpens Intellect, Improves Concentration and Focus (mostly benefits frontal lobe)
7) Helps with depression by Boosting Endorphin production
8) Regular practice can help manage High Blood Pressure
9) Calms and Relaxes Nervous System

Do this while you're waiting for your coffee, during a computer break, or anytime you need a reset.
