Kapalabhati Pranayama – A forced exhale through the nose, followed by an automatic inhale through the nose. The Inhale and Exhale are of equal force. This forced exhale may feel like you are blowing your nose, it is a good idea to have a tissue nearby, especially during a morning practice.

Five strong inhale breaths and Five strong exhale breaths ALL takes place through the nose. You can imagine that your nose is a straw and take the five breaths until your lungs are full all the way to your clavicles, your collar bones.

ROCKY’S TAKEAWAY

Kriya for New Lungs and Circulation
I like this kriya because it begins with standing poses which you can work into more balance poses if you like, taking a little more time. The chant Har Har HarHaree is a motivator too. Stay with it! And the sequence also works on the core. You’ve heard me say “the juice” is in the breath. What I mean is your breath work powers your practice. Your sense of well-being comes from a deep connection to your constant companion, your breath. Sat Nam.
