Yoga & Breathing Tips to Stay Healthy This Winter ›

A great way to start your day is doing 10 rapid runs of sun salutations. To really fan your fire, stop at high plank and do 21 rounds of powerful breathing exercises — kapalbhati or bhastrika. Kapalbhati, or cleansing breath, is a forced and active exhale pumping the stomach, the inhale is passive. This breathing should only be through the nose. Bhastrika, or rapid breath of fire, is a vigorous inhale and exhale, which should be fast and full. Focus on exhaling all of the stale air out because your inhale is innate.

:O Kapalbhati in plank pose? WHOA. Hard core work..hardcore…work..

Anyway, all in all an insightful article, and right in time for the start of the winter too! Happy solstice!

whoa, that is some DEEP breathing.
