In Bhastrika Pranayama our lungs are moved with
movements. Bhastrika (bellow-breathing) is a powerful and energetic Pranayama
in yoga breathing exercises. In Ancient yogis, they called this breathing
exercise as “the yoga breath of fire”.
If you did Kapalbhati Pranayama,
in this the importance is only on exhalation which is forced, short and quick.
In Kapalbhati Pranayama, inhalation is passive and natural. During
exhalation, we also force the belly in toward our spine in a brisk movement. While
in the Bhastrika Pranayama Inhalation and exhalation both are forced. The
movement of the belly along with every breath is an optional variation. So
Bhastrika Pranayama is all about inhaling and exhaling completely so that our
body gets a sufficient amount of oxygen.
Method: Steps
of Bhastrika Pranayama

the Padmasana (Lotus Pose) with

you are being energized by them. Inhaling should take the length of time-2.5
seconds to breathe in.
Step 3: After
that gently breathe out. During breathe out (exhale), imagine that you are
taking out all the toxins from our body and find (feel that during breathing
out all the toxins comes out through your breath). Exhaling should take the length
of time-2.5 seconds to breathe out.
