- Kapalabhati is a pranayama practice as well as a shat kriya-one of the six cleansing actions of hatha yoga. With its emphasis on the exhalation, kapalabhati enhances elimination of volatile metabolic wastes and dispels sluggishness and congestion, while engaging the seat of apana in the lower belly.

I just discovered this technique and it's insanely great. I've been running again after quitting smoking, and for six months I've made little progress with my windpower. I decided to slow down to a walk, and use this breathing technique WHILE I am walking (slowly) uphill. The results have been astonishing. I can almost feel the tar and poisons expelling from my deep alievoli. I've only down twice with this and already my lungs feel better than they have in five years. I know one is 'supposed' to do this seated, and I know I'm conjoining it with a walking pace instead, but I am careful to walk slowly and believe I've hit upon a wonderful formula for cleansing my lungs. The test of that is that my body feels great -- it's almost humming with oxygen and vitality - even hours after I do this. A fabulous technique. Namaste.
@JJ KK for how long you did this fasting? Raw butter :p? ( ghee?). Sounds yakees:). How mutch
@JJ KK woo. 31 days !!! what kind of fasting was that... wauw... Thank you. i will google about it
Amazing feedback. This technique is a toxins removal, one of the benefits.
I guess because you already run for a while the system wants to expel the toxins, before you couldn’t but the breath gave that push. Removing the Ama (blockage).
Gonna try that after doing cardio work
Thanks 🙏
This is the best way I have ever seen this taught. Are there others by this instructor?
Bhastrika 1-0-1-0 (50 strokes) length 2.30min @Myyo
00 Anulom Vilom 5-0-5-0 (30 strokes) length 5min @JDnw
correct rate /ratio or timed breathing is very important for pranayam
constant rate of breathing helps to improve all body metabolism for this the above videos are very good
Thank you, what the difference between mula bandha and the breath of fire - much appreciated
The exhalation is in and upward. This was the way I've been taught at Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram.
It also helps with time activating Uddiyana Bandha and in the future for Nauli Kriya.
Practice should be done on a basis of 12 kapalābhāti and 6 normal breaths, that's one round.
Rhythm should be done at your level.
Focus on the breath and the navel, not on the time and rhythm, that comes naturally.
I hope this helps
Namaste
Thank you
You welcome 🧘♀️😊
You welcome 🙏
How many round should we practice per day? Thank you.
@@Cherryyoko depends if you have practice before. If you just starting start with 6-12 rounds. Remember that this breath when we not used to can make you dizzy, mainly because is hyperventilation, a lot of oxygen gets in.
So start slowly and progress/increase at pace.
I hope to be of your help 😌
Thanks for sharing this.
Regarding the "passive inhale" should you actually feel the air inhaling through your nostrils after each exhale or do you try to not let that happen and hold your breath and just exhale?
Hi Sandra, I have done a transcript of your presentation, can't figure out the term " "stickhamanote" seems more like slang. Kindly elaborate if you could!
The Transcript for the benefit of Readers is as follows:

Today we are practicing Kapalabhati. Kapalabhati is a pranayama practice as well as a shat kriya-one of the six cleansing actions/practices of hatha yoga. Its benefits include clearing mucus related obstructions and relieving the body of Carbon dioxide and other volatile wastes.
As for all Pranayama, particularly for vigorous practices such as Kapalabhati and Bastrikha, a stable sitting posture is the essential first step. May sit up straight on a chair or in any cross legged pose on the floor. On the floor you make sure you prop the pelvis high enough to sit effortlessly upright with your inner thighs relaxed. In Kapalabhati the exhalation is active and forceful but the inhalation is passive and relaxed. The inhalation and exhalation are asymmetrical. The exhalation feels like a stickhamanote and the inhalation comes in on the rebound from the exhalation; therefore it is important to quickly relax after the exhalation. A beginning practice looks like this....
Note that the abdomen snaps sharply in on exhalation and rebounds back out on inhalation without any effort. Make sure that the Jaw, Eye, Throat, Chest and shoulders stay completely still and relaxed. There should be no movement in the body except in the abdomen. If you find the chest heaving, it may help to bring the arms over head with the hands to the opposite shoulders, to isolate the movements in the Navel centre area.
Let us try it together for 11 breaths at a pace of about one breath every couple of seconds. Do not be in a hurry.(2.16) .
Now take a couple of resting breaths through both nostrils (2.40) and we will do another round of 11 breaths.(2.50). Finish by sitting quietly and allowing the breath to arise spontaneously in the body. Keep your focus on the inner sensations of the body and breath.
If you feel dizzy or light headed or feel a stitch in your side or loose a rhythm of the breath, stop and rest for a few minutes. And next time try a fewer breaths or consult with a teacher to refine your technique. Kapalabhati might not be appropriate for those with heart disease, hyper pressure or hernias.
A daily beginning practice is 1-3 rounds of 7 to 11 breaths at 1 breath per second like we just did, resting between rounds. Add 5-10 breaths per round each week to increase your capacity and gradually pick up speed to about 2 breaths per second.
· 1-3 rounds
· 7-11 breaths
· 1 breath per second
· Add 5-10 breaths per round each week
· Increase speed to about 2 breaths per second
Eventually you may practice for 1 to 3 or minutes at speed. In the beginning focus your attention at the navel center where to stabilize the body while keeping your exhalation steep and rhythmic. Then refine your practice with a one point of inner mental focus at the Eyebrow center. If you like you can build on the benefits of the Kapalabhati by finishing your practice by a round of Nadi Shodhna.

Mohammed Rizvi She says "staccato note". It's a musical term.
Richard Cook Thank You! Just Googled and a beginner's Dictionary say,"Staccato, which means “detached,” is an indication to make notes brief; to detach notes from one another so that they do not touch or overlap. I could never have figured out this one.
🙏🙏🙏
Good day, nice presentation! I just wanted to ask, does not doing two breaths per second equate to hyperventilation? Forgive me if I am missing the boat, it is an honest question! I enjoy practicing, including the buzzing sensations around my face and so on, but researching breathing techniques, the main focus seems to be on reducing intake, speed, so I wondered what the logic was behind this 'speedy' and fun one? Best wishes!
there is the best way to breathe all day (functional, healthy, day to day breathing- nasal-slow-depp-light), and there are specific breathing exercises to do every few days, or a few times a day- NOT ALL DAY- just like you wouldn't drink water constantly all day or exercise all day continuously. These exercises are intense and boost your health and restart different parts of your system, but should be done carefully, gradually, and not for too long.
Thank you for this useful video 🙏
Shower thought....sometimes I wonder if these teqnigues work because they are mimicking the breath when crying, which releases quite a cocktail of feel good and refreshing chemicals, kinda like after a good cry 🤷
To confirm your intuitive guess, I just wanted to chime in and say that there is a Russian scientist who taught what he referred to as
CRYING BREATH.
@@LenkaSaratoga awesome, thank you!!
Same with laughing very hard. I was cracking up last night to the point where I was crying. Big emphasis on the exhales.
Thank you for the detailed explanation. Much appreciated
I can't do this properly. Have I to draw stomach in and then breathe out. Please explain.
yeah its like throwing your breath out and the stomach draws in automatically and the breath comes in naturally
like a balloon:
air in=stomach growing out like a balloon filling with air.
Air-out=stomach in pushes air up and out.
Is carbon dioxide volatile?
excellent demo, thanks
when I do kapala bharathi i am getting back pain
wheather i have to continue it or not
Nagini Subramanyam . Practice asanaas and be fit for breath techniques
Nagini Subramanyam then take support of a wall when doing ...
If you have back pain doing this..slow down and get your body use to it...for a month do it slowly then up the speed of the breaths
How fast should it be done?
50 to 60 times in a minute
now this is a great and cool
It is said that there are over 600 breathing techniques.. So even if you do this dead wrong you are still doing it right. Hah .. It is not only form but feeling.. It is better to have the process wrong and feel it than to do it right and have no feeling..
don't think you should be teaching things when you don't know what you're talking about.

Great posture and beauty)
Releasing carbon dioxide.Thanks
