KAPALABHATI PRANAYAMA
Kapala means skull and Bhati means light or luster. In this pranayama inhalation is slow and exhalation is vigorous with a split second of retention after each out-breath.
How to do :Sit straight in any comfortable position either with legs crossed or in a lotus position. Exhale whatever breath in the lungs. Inhale slowly, relaxing the abdomen allowing the air to return gently to the lungs. Exhale with a quick, strong blast of air. Contract the abdominal muscles quickly causing the diaphragm to rise and force the air out of the lungs. Retain for a split second and repeat for four to eight blasts. This complete one cycle of Kapalabhati. Relax and take few slow and deep breaths in between the cycles.
