Breath of Fire Kundalini Yoga Breathing Exercise Video

Yoga Pranayama Video 1

The article Breath of Fire Breathing Exercise which is chapter 1 of the Free Online Breathing Exercises (Yoga Pranayama) EBook gives copious details on this powerful and important Kundalini Yoga pranayama. The Breath of Fire is a key component of Kundalini Yoga Kiryas and as its been detailed heavily in that chapter already, I dont want to rehash the information here. Instead, I will just highlight the most important aspects of this yoga pranayama and move ahead to the video. This king kong of pranayamas helps you detoxify your system, oxygenate your blood, magnify the benefits of the Kundalini Yoga exercise you are doing and generate terrific energy within. If you suffer from heat related issues or high blood pressure, you should use caution when practicing Breath of Fire. The yoga instruction video below goes over these details and more. Here are some quick highlights of what the video covers:

Detailed instructions of the beginner, intermediate and advanced versions of Breath of Fire. Discussion of the most common mistakes and difficulties when doing Breath of Fire and demonstration of how NOT to do this kundalini yoga pranayama. General guidance on this powerful breathing exercise. Hi La Vonne, Glad to know you enjoyed the video. It was our first so am happy it has come across well. Great question too :-). The article Breath of Fire Breathing Exercise has these details, but I will summarize quickly below.

If you are doing a set such as the Kundalini Yoga Morning Wake Up Series, it has Breath of Fire built in so you dont need to practice extra, but if you are doing Breath of Fire as a separate exercise I suggest to start gently and build up to 1 minute per day. From there you can increase to 3, 5 and even 11 mins at a stretch. Remember not to overdo it and only move forward when you can do so without excessive strain. You can also take breaks in between and then continue when ready. Breath of Fire is great to use right before a set to get your energy going. 2 minutes is perfect for that. Let me know if you run across any issues. All Good Wishes, Anmol

1. Dear Key, Yes, it is normal to sweat during Breath of Fire. If you have high blood pressure or suffer from acid/heat related stomach issues, then you need to only do this pranayama lightly. You should not eat at least 2-3 hours prior to doing Breath of Fire. Specially not a big meal, a small snack is ok. You should sip water as required during the yoga practice, but afterwards you should drink plenty of water. This is because the kundalini yoga sets and pranayamas are designed to detoxify your system, and the toxins that are released from deep within your tissues need to be flushed out of your system after the set. So drink plenty of water after you are done with your practice.

Free Online Kapalbhati Yoga Pranayama Video 3

Kapalbhati Yoga Pranayama Video for Health & Healing

The incredible yoga breathing exercise Kapalbhati (Kapal Bhati) pranayama was extensively detailed in the article Kapalbhati Yoga Pranayama for Optimum Health and Healing. To help make sure you are practicing it correctly and thus getting maximum benefit from this extraordinary pranayama, I have created a video demonstrating this breathing exercise. This online yoga video is the third entry of our Free Online Yoga Pranayama Video Series. Kapalbhati pranayama, which has recently been revived and raised to new heights by Ramdev Swami, is an excellent breathing exercise to improve your respiratory system, digestive system and help purge your body of negativity. This negativity can be in the form of physical ailments, negative emotions or even unwanted mental habits and behaviors. This negative debris is often the cause of blockages in the energetic, psychic pathways which then leads to blockages in the flow of energy and internal imbalances. To assist Kapalbhati in purging the system of these blockages, you should engage the mind when practicing this pranayama and visualize the negativity being expelled from your system as you do the breathing. Although the video gives an overview of Kapalbhati pranamaya, I suggest you do refer to the original article for all the details. Here are some quick highlights of what the video covers:

Demonstration of the right posture and mudra to take in order to practice Kapalchati. Discussion of how Kapalbhati helps purge your system of negativity. Demonstration and detailed instructions on how to practice this yoga pranayama.
