Bhastrika Pranayama (Demo)

Firstly, when raising arms while inhaling, remember to bring them inline with your ears. Keep your head stable, and facing forward.

My third demonstration video is an example of performing the pranayama incorrectly to highlight the most common things to avoid; primarily allowing the head to move too much. Also be aware of arm placement too far forward, and your body collapsing when pulling the arms down.

The First and Second demonstrations are from the Side and the front respectively. When you inhale & raise arms up, open the palms/fingers of the hands as you reach for the sky. when you exhale bring the arms down forcefully and make fists as the arms come to the waist line. Repeat movement and breath for 10-20 expulsions. After your last exhalation, inhale and hold your breath gently at the top of the breath for 4 seconds, while tucking your chin and placing your tongue behind your teeth on the top of your palate. Rest, experience, and repeat as desired. Enjoy!🙏🏽💫
