Thank you😊
Excellent. You are doing great service to mankind. Here in India, I have learnt many yogasanas by attending RSS's free yoga learning camps. Though I had learnt Nadi shodhaka pranayama by an elder RSS man in India, I couldn't learnt Bhastika Pranayama from them to date. So thanks for teaching this to me. You are no less than any other Indian gurujis. I appreciate your service to mankind through Yoga. You teach really better than any Indian guruji'd. We admire you a lot in India. Great. My pranams to you guruji.
Thank you for your kind words Vikram. I am wishing you many more beautiful sessions. Sending you peace, love, wisdom, good energy and blessings, Michaël
With due respect RSS is terrorist organisation of India and discriminates minorities based on their religion.....
I saw the whole video. For this 14 minutes, I felt blissed as how we Indians feel like when we are with a great Yogi and a great Swamiji. Very nice session. Thank you. I tried along with you watching this video here and experienced a state of bliss here. Thank you so much for taking me to such a blissful state here. Pranams from India.
I am glad you enjoyed this session. Wishing you many more beautiful sessions. Peace and blessings 🙏❤️🌞
Wow
This video is absolutely amazing. I appreciate the detail and honor your put into your videos. I have never seen such informative and loving videos. you are very quickly becoming my guru. I would love to see videos on your diet, what you eat, how often you eat, if you fast. Etc. ram ram
I have seen this video 20 times ....The best video of bhaatrika on u tube..
you way of teaching and explanations are proof, simple and clear...thank you very very much from Argentina!
Sir the sad part of reality , people who are genuine like you reach only certain level of audience , but people who made well established business on mining money by selling there not traditional and not scientific methods are doing more harm than good to millions of people who follow them . Sir why is that good people like cannot be such famous , so that people should deserve some one like you who can be a real guru and help them to improve their spiritual and materialistic life fruitfully
notice how your negative comment is the only one that didnt receive a heart from michael
reflect on it
All things in life have their purpose.
Everybody is free.
All people are here for a reason.
I totally understand your emotional reaction to living in such an upside down world. Yet we don't have to save the world, we are here to save ourselves and by doing so we become a source of love and inspiration for those around us.
Like someone was told by God: "Your life isn't about you, it's about how you touch other people's lives."
So go within and search for the Love and Light within.
I have learned to respect the freedom of others and not try to convince them all the time about what truths or beautiful things are available in the world. Let it be, because being is what we all came here to do, isn't it?

When I do this, it feels like I'm going to pass out but just before I lose focus, it's like there's suddenly an infinity and I can hold my breath for a very long time while seeing a light of infinity, mighty i may say.

The term Mahabandha means... Jalandhar, Moola and Uddiyana Bandha practiced in Bahya Kumbhaka.
In Antar Kumbhaka one can apply Jalandhar and Moola only. ( Throat and Chin Lock).
The other explanations are very simple and so easy to understand. Enjoyed 🙏🕉️🙏

Thank you. Peace, Love and Wisdom ❤

Hey thank you I am GREATFUL and I'm expressing my Gratitude 😁💜💓💜
Stumbled upon a breathing video, that led me to look up this technique in particular, and found your video. Wonderful stuff! Though I did a round via the previous videos demonstration, and felt great, I did a solid round at a more relaxed pace since I am starting out and after a few minutes I felt even more wonderful! Wish I would have found this work sooner or opened my mind up to it earlier. Love it!
Wonderful! Glad to hear you enjoyed it 🙏❤️ peace and blessings
Excellent
Michael Bijker - Yogalap Thank you breathe in and out from the belly soft
Brilliant tutorial - thank you

Great to do before vipassana type meditation
Thank you so much
You are most welcome 🙏
Well explained sir. 👍🙏
Thx you man
Thankyou for your crystal clear explanation and guided practice, Michael. Early days as yet, but I am finding it most helpful. Again, Thankyou.
I have edited this video to its second half of the actual practice and added three more repeats of the final third round. Six rounds of bhastrika in all. I have been doing this practice pretty every morning since 3rd January. Now today 18th March, I find my lungs are much healthier, and quite coincidentally better prepared if I am infected with carona virus. Thankyou, Michael. And ThankYou, MaLord!
Great to hear that David, I am happy to hear you are prioritizing some of your life-time to work on healthy mind and body :)
Peace and blessings,
Michaël
Still doing the bhastrika practice. Not every day, but enough that I can actually feel a long-term difference. Still get a buzz with that first set of forty reps.
Thankyou, Michael

Dear Michael, thank you for the detailed video. Can you pls share the purpose of neck extension and flexion with certain inhales and exhales. For eg. During the kumbha, neck extends back with inhale. Or with mahabadhas.. what is the anatomical and physiological effects of chin down. Thank you so much.
🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️ shukria Ji ❤️
🙏❤️
Dear Michael thank you very much for this new lesson. During this pranayama l must use mulabandha for my pelvic floor! Thank you for your answer. GOD BLESS YOU. Cecilia

Fantastic man! Than you:-)
My pleasure! 🌞❤️🙏 Michaël

Wonderful practicing. Thank you so much sharing this technique. I got dizzy during holding the breath. How can I fix this? Appreciate your help and guidance😊
Thank you again, you way of teaching and explanations is the ultimate~~|!!
God Bless you....its nice to see an all around approach to this pranayama exercise.
Great to hear that David, thank you. Keep breathing :)
Peace and blessings!
Many thanks for your warm and gentle explanation. I am glad that I found you at this moment in my life.
I couldn't help myself yet to notice, this is where Wim Hoff found the mustard, right?
Namaste 🙏.
Dear Joris, Thank you for your kind message. Great to hear you find the session helpful. Wim Hof did practice yoga for many years before he developed the "Wim Hof Method". He is a great yoga practitioner. Watch this video after 7:00 th-cam.com/video/HeJ1A497_LA/w-d-xo.html and see how this method is taught as Bhastrika Pranayama
May all be blessed with peace, love and wisdom :)
Bhastrika pranayama is in the HYP
Could u plz explain the retention of breath at the end, what are the benefits of retaining breath at this point after the sequence.
Hello, can I do this type de exercises, I have asma sontimes ? Thanks
Thabk you so much for sharing. Can you please explain part with pelvic floor... Do you constantly hold it it or only when breathing in and after that let go every time?
Thank you for this video! I'm not experienced in this practice and I feel a little dizzy after Bhastrika. Is it normal? How can I avoid this effect?
It is normal for beginners...your body is not used to the increased circulation...do the rounds slowly...and perhaps only 1 or 2 rounds...it will get better with time and practice.
Great video. Just wondering if you can elaborate on bhastrika vs kapalbhati as I've having some difficulty understanding the difference between both (in terms of how they are performed). Thanks..
Dear Jakec, appreciate your interest in the techniques. If you would like to really dive deep into Pranayama I may recommend my course ‘Breath is Life’ for you, on yogalap.com 🙏🏻 Love and Light
@@yogalap Thanks, will look into it.
Please what is the difference between bastrika and kumbakha.Namaste Guru ji.
Do you know of a breathing technique that will put a stop to hyperhidrosis (overactive sweat glands)?
So this is different from Kapalbathi because we do both inale/exhale forcefully and with don't just exhale with the rebound right?
Namaste.
Just wondering can we add KEVAL KUMBHAK before ANTRIK KUMBHAK during Bhastrika pranayam ? Thank you in advance. 🙏
Hi! Should I do Bhastrika together with Kapalabhati and if so, in which order?
How do you prevent dry nose
Michael Bijker - Yogalap Thank you For sharing your breath class how many deep breaths can I take?
Dear Grace, I hope you are doing well, and I hope you are doing the whole pranayama course : yogalap.com/courses/breathwork-pranayama
In that course you will learn all about these techniques and deepen very much your knowledge about mind and body training. So if you are serious about deepening your knowledge about this and getting impurities out of your physical, mental and emotional system the proper way, do the whole course and not just a small part of it.

आपके पास योग की अच्छी जानकारी है
what's this bhastrika vs Kapalabhakti pranayama? both them look same breathing speed. thank you
namaste
I had an incisional hernia repair a year ago. The doctor placed a mesh behind my belly button. Is it ok to practice this technique?
Thank you so much for your great work🌸
Dear Roula, I would recommend asking your physician about this. I would personally recommend to only do it very calm and gently.
Peace and good energy,
Michaēl
Thank you for the lesson Michael. However, I have one question: why retain the breath after the inhalation rather than the exhale? For example, after doing power breaths (slower Bhastrika) you retain the breath after exhaling. Do they provide different results? Thank you.
Dear Danny B,
both types of Kumbhaka (retention after an inhale (antara kumbhaka), and after an exhale (bahya kumbhaka)) have their own benefits. I explain this in another video : th-cam.com/video/8TPWRROyrus/w-d-xo.html
Enjoy the breathing. PEace and blessings,
Michaël
Hi do you give class of yoga in Portugal?
Dear Pedro, yes sometimes, in Sagres. 🌎 🙏❤️✌️
What is the purpose of putting the neck down at the last inhale when you hold your breath?
