Yogic Breath Holding - Kumbhakas Explained | Breathwork & Pranayama with Michaël Bijker

yogalap.com | In this video Michaël explains about 3 types of breath holds in Yoga Pranayama practice:
- Antara Kumbhaka (breath-hold after inhalation)
- Bahya Kumbhaka (breath-hold after exhalation)
- Kevala Kumbhaka (not holding breath IN nor OUT, but stopping breath)
Video from the Breath Is Life online Pranayama course: www.yogalap.com/courses/prana...
"Perfection of isolated holding is freedom from inhalation and exhalation process. This pranayama spoken of is verily kevala kumbhaka." (Chapter -2, Verse 73).

Kumbhk yoga from India

[@alineg.yoga.bienestar]

Hello I have a question, After doing bahir kumbhaka, you inhale and exhale normally and after that, you do kevala? Thanks in advance! and thanks for sharing

[@yogalap]

Dear Aline, after doing Bahya Kumbhaka, Kevela kumbhaka is not recommended because your CO2 levels will already be high and O2 levels low. Best to do Antara Kumbhaka or jus breathe normally.
Keep up the practice to cultivate the light within ❤️

[@desmarie5258]

What is your email to PM you?

[@Vhevgox584]

Hi. Why can't we squeeze the moola bandha on the inhale? Why only on the exhale?

[@yogalap]

Dear Marco, you can, it is just a different technique. Feel how it is different and you tell me what you feel is different.

[@marjoriemichel7029]

Dommage en anglais et pas de sous titrees😕

[@peritamar8367]

:)

[@bishalkc8475]

Why do swami rama told not to create gap between breaths.

[@yogalap]

These 'gaps' are called Kumbhakas in ancient Pranayama knowledge and are a very important part of pranayama. When breathing 'normally in daily life' this should not be there and there should be a continuous flow of the breath.
Peace and blessings,
Michaël
