it is important that you stay tuned in to your body during
this process. If at any time you experience uncomfortable
sensations or feel light-headed during the process, dis-
continue the Bhastrika for a few moments, then resume
the exercise in a less intense manner.
Begin by relaxing your shoulders and practicing slow,
deep abdominal breathing. After a few deep breaths, fully
exhale, and then begin forceful complete exhalations fol-
lowed by forceful deep inhalations through your nose at
the rate of one second per cycle. The entire breathing
movement should be from your diaphragm. Keep your
head, neck, shoulders, and chest relatively stable while
your belly moves in and out.
