Once you finish the forceful exhalation for a set you exhale all the breath out. Do you apply mula bandha and then inhale and hold, or inhale, apply mula bandha and then hold? You did it both ways in the video
Advanced practice would place bandha either during the exhale or continuously holding. It also moves away from external structures (perineum) as the lock is completely internal, using force (squeezing or lifting the Anus and perineum) actually inhibits the true lock. It's also important to note that mula bandha is higher up in women than in men. It's at the base of the cervix for women.
@@buildyourownhuman I found out exactly what you mean today. I stopped forcing it and gently applied it at pereneum area, and felt it. Even underneath the navel started sucking in slightly. I used to forcefully contract the Anus, genitals and stomach. I think I have gotten even further in my practice! Beautiful.
This guy is amazing. He actually speaks as if he is in the room with just you. So I was a meth addict for many years. In & out of prison and always on parole or probation. Haven't been to prison in some time now but Very recently, I stopped using methamphetamine. I found a channel called "breathe with Sandy." Ive done his videos over 300 times. I owe that gentleman my life but doing his content that many times, I found I was starting to hit a "wall" within my growth. Therefore, just today i went off my usual routine & found this channel. quite invigorating to say the least. Your techniques are flawless and content is absolutely amazing. Thank you my good sir
I used to perform this pranayama first. Next I would perform alternate nostril breathing. Finally, I would finish with the bhastrika, or bellows breath, with all three locks at the end. You can literally make yourself feel high naturally doing this in the morning when the sun comes up where the air is fresh like at a park where there are plenty of trees and grass.
So true. I was doing a similar routine when i needed to heal my thyroid and after a year of practice and proper plant-based diet i no longer take medication. I am so proud of myself 😀
Yours a similar to this video, I use this video everyday for the timed breathing. th-cam.com/video/BSvPAWgQDF0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=iUeAchk6EPL_rx3f Do you have a better suggestion ?
Thanks for connecting with us here. We need people like you to guide and motivate us on this journey together. I will soon make a video of your sequence. Please also share if you have other techniques you practice. Cheers Abhi

Wow, so with the mudra the practice is more effective? I am new to mudra practice and this one seems easy to do but you were right, its hard to isolate these muscles. I'll keep practicing this seems very promising. Thanks.

The only thing I do differently is after the pump. I take a deep breath then hold it. After that I slowly release the breath feeling ton of energy. Images and geomatic light patterns appear with bright color with my eyes close. Why does no one talk about this that teaches the breath of fire.
Yes lots of beautiful experiences unfold in terms of colors and patterns and even celestial sounds if you plug the ears (nada). However, these are very personal and vary from each person and not sure if this is a good platform. However, soon we will create a membership section for people who want to go deeper into the subtle aspects of meditations. Much love and blessings Abhi 🙏
While holding the breath You have to carry out moola bandha and Jaalandhara bandha. After some time breath out and release jalandhara bandha do Uddiyaana bandha . Ultimately release Moola bandha ,then relax.
Absolutely, while Breath of Fire is not specifically a Kundalini Yoga practice, it shares similarities with several techniques used in Kundalini to awaken and elevate energy through the chakras. 🌀 We're glad you're enthusiastic about exploring these powerful practices.

Hello Sirji you are very informative. This really help every one who practice it sincerely. Thanks a lot. This practice is much effective and much better than going for any medicines. You rock..
@michellepinedo6401 Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled that the teachings resonate with you. We had the chance to travel to Lima and Cusco in Perú and absolutely loved it-it’s wonderful to feature such a beautiful country in the videos. It’s an honor to share this journey with you. ❤️🎉
Skipped yesterday because of a group outing to the desert of Peru (who knew there is a desert in Peru lol) so its Day 3 for me this morning. Feeling good, I was able to hold the breath longer.
This video was recorded in Lima, Peru. We are here for a month working on beautiful projects with the team. We have a sleep app coming up soon. Stay updated on our website: www.meditatewithabhi.com/
Your Kapalbhati is WRONG - much too HIGH! I am a student of OP Tiwariji, one of the pranayama masters of Kaivalyadham and the direct disciple of Swami Kuvalyananda and Dr.Paul Dallaghan who did his PhD on the effects of pranayama! OM Namaha Shivaya!
The only thing WRONG is your attitude. Never heard of OP Tiwari and don't want to, seems like all the lineage you talk about hasn't been able to teach you basic behavior and decency.
For the women watching this, the root lock is in a different location, using the perinuem and anus will not give full benefits. Feel for the area that lifts the cervix, or find a properly trained teacher - 98% of mula bandha instruction is incorrect - especially for women. For men its actually above the perineum, and using the perineum is only a reference before you gain internal control. Eventually (maybe a week or two of daily practice) you should be able to completely relax all external muscles while engaging.
Yes so true ! Thanks for clarifying. We will soon do a video on the specific location and how to be able to engage the psychic moola banda without engaging the physical banda. Thanks for your insight.. much love Abhi 🙏
Thank you very much Abhi for you all your videos and education. In the video you are explaining to hold or pullin perineal muscles during inhales, question what happens if we hold or pull in the perineal muscles during exhale?
Hi sunny This normally shouldn't be done more than 7 minutes in one sitting. What is your experience with breathing exercises ? Do you consider yourself beginner , inter or advance ? It´s more important to do this everyday than longer in one sitting. Cheers Abhi
Can some one please tell me the background sound is from which music that Tabla and flute is really cool. @TheSchoolofBreath I would lke to play that also in my meditation and pranayama time.
@TheSchoolofBreath Hi, there are many kinds of music Could you please tell me which music it would be really helpful. I love this background music so much. I have gone through not being able to find.
Your comment warms our hearts! 😊 Thank you for watching and for the lovely feedback. We're so grateful for your support. Stay tuned for more! 🙏💖 #WithGratitude
Pranayama breathing will help you in every area of your health and energy. However, weight gain is best accomplished by resistance training such as weight lifting or even body weight exercises like calisthenics, and then eating a good amount of protein throughout the day especially after resistance training. I was also skinny when I was younger.
@@deepakadhiraaijog7387 Yes, I always performed various exercises, but I made sure to include resistance exercises to gain muscle size and definition. Supplementing with protein and creatine also helps a lot.
Kapalbhati can assist in weight gain as it stimulates your abdominal organs and improves your metabolism. But in your case you have too much fire element. Please try Prithvi mudra as it helps with gaining weight with increased earth element.

Goin through menopause……🙄 The belly fat thing is a real bummer. I’m a thin woman but these days there’s this awful bloat, not into it. So, I’m going to try this practice and hopefully it will BURN that weirdness off 😄 Let’s breathe! ❤
Yes ofcourse ! Pranayama can be done without asana however yoga and pranayama complement each other. Sometimes when I have less time I only engage in pranayama. Cheers and blessings, Abhi ❤️🙏
kapalabhay does not mean skull shining SO when the sucessive exhalations and passively inhalation a yoga of the first order directs his energy towards the skull where the energy this charged upwards glow and avwise yoga attains the stage of samadhi thanks
Hi there, thank you for your question. Yes, in Kapalbhati Pranayama you inhale and exhale through the nose. Hope this helps. Thanks for connecting and practicing. Sending you much love and blessings

Yes it's like i can't stick my stomach out much it's maybe tight and my breathing i can't do the breathing for more than 15 seconds without feeling out of breath
@@TheSchoolofBreath Ahemmmm....I did the exercise for 3 days and my lower back developed exquisite pain as though somebody beat me up with 4x4 real good. OUCH....OUCH...OUCH What did I do wrong??? Am almost 83 ,in perfect health
@@TheSchoolofBreath About 12 years ago.i did a breathing exercise similar to this one , for perhaps a month. After that I tapered my practice down to zeroThat time , I only knew about Pranayama breathing What i did was not pranayama breathing but ""home made " my kundalini immediately woke up , and i started to get out of my body at night. ...in my angelic self ,complete with massive wings of light. Or. I would be a massive orb of white light. It lasted many years I visited all the dimensions including Hell the new Earth . Also, my religious beliefs were wiped out. Then , my physical body emitted light Like a Iight bulb twice only. After some years these phenomena dissipated ,bc i had stopped this breathing exercises. At that time , I actually did not know what was causing these physical glitches until I read this article. 🤣

Wow, your words truly light up our day! 🌟 It's heartwarming to know that you enjoyed our video. If there's anything specific you loved or want to see more of, feel free to share! Thanks for being a part of our journey at The School of Breath. 🙏💨✨
There’s truth in the breathing technique but it’s really dumb and irritating when these guys make up pseudoscience about mystic magnetism and try to sound smart to people that don’t know any better. Just makes them sound like frauds and charlatans
Thank you for sharing your thoughts Michael. We appreciate your honesty and skepticism. While we understand that some of our audience, like yourself, prefer clear, logical explanations based on scientific evidence, others find value in the esoteric experiential language and traditional concepts that have been passed down through generations which often speaks to the subjective experiences of individuals practicing these techniques, which, while not always easily quantifiable, are significant to many. Our goal is to bridge these perspectives, offering content that is both scientifically grounded and respectful of the rich traditions from which these practices originate. Thank you for being a part of our community and for contributing to this important conversation. Cheers Abhi
Yes, traditionally bhasrika is referred to as breath of fire. However, with modern yoga and TH-cam breath of fire is referred to as kapalbathi and we are using that convention.
@@TheSchoolofBreath ne ne…in kundalini yoga, breath of fire is performed, and in traditional yoga, kapalbhati is performed! Kapalbhati and breath of fire are not the same pranayamas! I personally know both, and there are big differences!
We can spend our energy talking about the differences and what's right or we could just take advantage of the actual breathing techniques. Having said that, we're always open to learning new things. Could you explain what you know?
@@TheSchoolofBreath Personally, I don't see spending energy on talking! You put the title and say Kapalbhati and breath of fire are the same pranayamas! My advice to you is to educate yourself so that you don't teach your viewers the wrong thing! Namaste!
I have tried this previously and felt invigorated before working out or doing something important. I have recently began to incorporate it into my routine. Thank you for this wonderful practice! I hope to recover from recent circumstances in my life. And this will assist me to do this
It's inspiring to hear how the practice has become a valuable part of your routine and how it invigorates you for important moments. We're honored to be with you on your journey of recovery and transformation. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Here's to strength and healing on your path ahead. 🌟
Many different ones I can recommend based on knowing you a little bit more. How old are you? What's your yoga journey like? What are your goals? (Physical, emotional, spiritual) What part of the world are you based in climate? Sending blessings. Cheers! Abhi 🙏

Jay Hind my friend ! I do around 30 pumps in one stage and hold the breath. 3 rounds is enough. No need to do this for 30 minutes. How long have you been practicing yoga ? Much love
Hi there, thanks for the question. You breathe in and out each time you inhale and exhale . Not just one breath. Hope that clarifies the question. Sending blessings, Abhi 🙏
I had been worried about my energy levels being so low it was concerning me then this video comes up with comments on how this practice energizes someone ❤❤❤thanks universe. ❤
Hi there, thank you for connecting. We are so grateful to hear our video helped you! Thank you for letting us be part of your journey! Wishing you great practice and more energy. Namaste ❤
My natural breathing is so slow. Usually like 3-4 breaths a minute. This beginner version is super hard for me. I barely get in any air for there to be an exhale. I will practice and maybe practice at an slower speed. Thank you!
Understood ! Great job on trying this. Please do it at your speed for some time and naturally you will see the practice becoming faster and more effective. Thanks for connecting here. Sending much love and blessings my friend Cheers Abhi
Everyone is at different levels, health journey, goals, age etc. You don't need to listen to anyone..try it and let your body guide you what's best for you.. blessings 🙏 Abhi
maybe I'm a bit complicated. What exactly does straight spine mean? Is it actually curved? Should you pull them forward at the bottom? Difference in tension in the spine when inhaling and exhaling? What position is the pelvis in? Can you perhaps describe this in more detail? Thanks
Thank you Abhi, Wonderful breathing technique which is exactly what I need for strengthening my lungs, helping to heal digestion and increasing the fire in my belly. My wife has joined me in the practice and we are loving it so much we are wondering is this the full practice of Kapalbhatti to do daily or is there a longer more advanced method as I feel I would like to continue when it's finished as we love it so much. Thank you again, you are having a very big impact. Jasen
Yes agreed ! Thanks for connecting with us here. It brings the fire element up. I would recommend doing Diaphragmatic breathing for hypertension. This video explains different breathing techniques th-cam.com/video/MFDMi-seHBw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=75anpjFE7n2DlJSj Would love your feedback .. cheers Abhi
I figured these things out on my own years ago but due to constant unwanted human disguting interactions lost all will to care anymore, just lost my 19 year old pet who was a reflection of my good traits birthed her grew up together, never have a bond like that again, she was everything to me... wats the point
Hi Nestor, thank you for your enthusiasm! For ambitious students like you, practice 3 minutes in the morning and 3 minutes in the evening, but not more than that. Sending much love and blessings for your practice, Abhi 🙏
@TheSchoolofBreath What are the risks of doing more than prescribed? Kundalini psychosis (worst case scenario)? Activation of forces and energies I "can't" control, etc.? Thank you for your response.
Thank you for the clear explanation. Does this help to gain weight? I heard prana mudra and prithvi mudra help gaining weight. I started doing prana mudra. I feel alot better since I started this mudra. But most people have mentioned about the prithvi mudra to gain weight. Now I am confused. Which mudra should I really do to gain weight and how long should I practice this per day? Thanks!
Yes might not help with the weight gain initially but in the long run this will balance the pitta element and help in keeping the weight steady. Yes In fact Prithvi mudra (please checkout the video on mudras in our playlist) is the best for gaining weight also please combine with proper diet (include good fat avocado etc) and of-course love your body however it is now. Sending love and blessings
Once you finish the forceful exhalation for a set you exhale all the breath out. Do you apply mula bandha and then inhale and hold, or inhale, apply mula bandha and then hold? You did it both ways in the video
Yes my friend. Very good insight. You can hold the mula Banda both ways on inhale and exhale and they have different benefits.
It's easier to hold the lock on inhale than Exhale so if you're a beginner please start with an inhale lock. Sending much blessings, cheers Abhi 🙏
Advanced practice would place bandha either during the exhale or continuously holding. It also moves away from external structures (perineum) as the lock is completely internal, using force (squeezing or lifting the Anus and perineum) actually inhibits the true lock.
It's also important to note that mula bandha is higher up in women than in men. It's at the base of the cervix for women.
Thank you both for the time, will be trying different ones out

Skipped yesterday because of a group outing to the desert of Peru (who knew there is a desert in Peru lol) so its Day 3 for me this morning. Feeling good, I was able to hold the breath longer.
amazing me too ! held the breath longer on the 5th day
Great progress. Thank you for sharing your experience. Much love and blessings 🙏📿
This video was recorded in Lima, Peru. We are here for a month working on beautiful projects with the team. We have a sleep app coming up soon. Stay updated on our website: www.meditatewithabhi.com/
Kapalbathi should always be performed slowly and calmly … there is nothing such as advanced or intermediate .
Your Kapalbhati is WRONG - much too HIGH! I am a student of OP Tiwariji, one of the pranayama masters of Kaivalyadham and the direct disciple of Swami Kuvalyananda and Dr.Paul Dallaghan who did his PhD on the effects of pranayama! OM Namaha Shivaya!
Thanks for your feedback 🙏❤️ om namaha Shivaya 🙏
The only thing WRONG is your attitude. Never heard of OP Tiwari and don't want to, seems like all the lineage you talk about hasn't been able to teach you basic behavior and decency.
For the women watching this, the root lock is in a different location, using the perinuem and anus will not give full benefits. Feel for the area that lifts the cervix, or find a properly trained teacher - 98% of mula bandha instruction is incorrect - especially for women.
For men its actually above the perineum, and using the perineum is only a reference before you gain internal control. Eventually (maybe a week or two of daily practice) you should be able to completely relax all external muscles while engaging.
Yes so true ! Thanks for clarifying. We will soon do a video on the specific location and how to be able to engage the psychic moola banda without engaging the physical banda. Thanks for your insight.. much love Abhi 🙏
It just gets better and better. I lost count of the days but this practice feels awesome. I don't think i will stop it any time soon!
That’s great to hear. Keep practicing and keep shining. Sending love and blessings ❤️🙏
Thank you very much Abhi for you all your videos and education. In the video you are explaining to hold or pullin perineal muscles during inhales, question what happens if we hold or pull in the perineal muscles during exhale?
Please reply me. How long one can do this practice. If it is done for longer is there any side effects?
Thank you
I do this for 7 minutes a day but i have been doing this for a long time
Hi sunny This normally shouldn't be done more than 7 minutes in one sitting. What is your experience with breathing exercises ? Do you consider yourself beginner , inter or advance ? It´s more important to do this everyday than longer in one sitting. Cheers Abhi
Side effect could be overstimulation of the kundalini energy without developing proper control. I would keep it less than 5 minutes.
Keep up the good work Abhi
Thank you!
Day 2 - excellent practice...feel energized and ready for the new year's eve.
Wonderful. Keep sharing your experience and keep practicing. Sending love and blessings 🙏📿
Can some one please tell me the background sound is from which music that Tabla and flute is really cool. @TheSchoolofBreath
I would lke to play that also in my meditation and pranayama time.
Hi there, thanks for acknowledging. This is our own music. You can find it in Spotify or iTunes under the name " Meditate with Abhi"
@TheSchoolofBreath Hi, there are many kinds of music Could you please tell me which music it would be really helpful. I love this background music so much. I have gone through not being able to find.
This video is amazingg thanks you
Love this video too ! this is my 5th day and feel my energy lighter
Thanks a lot for your feedback. What´s your favorite breathing technique ?
Perfect! This is exactly what I needed. Thank you Guruji.
Glad it was helpful! Just a friend is good 😊 sending much love and blessings. Cheers! Abhi 🙏
Cool vídeo 🥹😃🤚
Your comment warms our hearts! 😊 Thank you for watching and for the lovely feedback. We're so grateful for your support. Stay tuned for more! 🙏💖 #WithGratitude
Super cool Abhi
I want to gain weight. I m too skinny and eating a lot doesn't help. Is it possible by some breathing technique?
Pranayama breathing will help you in every area of your health and energy. However, weight gain is best accomplished by resistance training such as weight lifting or even body weight exercises like calisthenics, and then eating a good amount of protein throughout the day especially after resistance training. I was also skinny when I was younger.
@@yogimaster1 noted, thanks for the reply. I think you developed weight by these exercises you mentioned right ?
@@deepakadhiraaijog7387 Yes, I always performed various exercises, but I made sure to include resistance exercises to gain muscle size and definition. Supplementing with protein and creatine also helps a lot.
@@yogimaster1 I agree ! thanks
Kapalbhati can assist in weight gain as it stimulates your abdominal organs and improves your metabolism. But in your case you have too much fire element. Please try Prithvi mudra as it helps with gaining weight with increased earth element.
can i get the background sound for my meditation session?

Day 4 practice was good. 17 more to go!
amazing
Great job! Keep up the good work. Many blessings ❤🙏
I had to come back and do this again. I got dizzy on the second round but you are right about the energy going up, i could feel it in my entire body
That is normal. You can pause and breath normally when you get dizzy. As you progress through the practice the dizziness will go away.
Sounds dangerous
Aum Namah Shivaya,....it is important to be vegan?thank you,...love and peace
Fast. Always fast in my experience
Hi there, you can slow down the playback speed in the video settings in the bottom right corner.
Excellent work easy to follow good teachings ❤❤❤
Thank you for your feedback Catherine. Please let us know anything you would like to see more of. Sending much love and blessings. Have a wonderful New Year!
Goin through menopause……🙄
The belly fat thing is a real bummer. I’m a thin woman but these days there’s this awful bloat, not into it. So, I’m going to try this practice and hopefully it will BURN that weirdness off 😄
Let’s breathe! ❤
Best of luck and keep us updated on how you feel after the practice and how you are progressing. Sending healing energy and blessings ❤️🙏
can i do pranayama without asanas and doing yoga?
Yes ofcourse ! Pranayama can be done without asana however yoga and pranayama complement each other. Sometimes when I have less time I only engage in pranayama. Cheers and blessings, Abhi ❤️🙏
But I feel that using perineal muscles or anal muscles, might lead to kundalini jagruti, which can be devastating if performed without a guru.
È possibile avere la traduzione o i sottotitoli in italiano? Grazie
practiced it again and love it. It boosts my awareness level. Thanks Abhi
Keep it up

kapalabhay does not mean skull shining SO when the sucessive exhalations and passively inhalation a yoga of the first order directs his energy towards the skull where the energy this charged upwards glow and avwise yoga attains the stage of samadhi
thanks
Do you exhale through your nose?
Hi there, thank you for your question. Yes, in Kapalbhati Pranayama you inhale and exhale through the nose. Hope this helps. Thanks for connecting and practicing. Sending you much love and blessings
Your videos are beyond valuable.
Thank you 🙏
what happens to your energy if you hold the perineum while breathing in and out as you demonstrate at 9 min
Hi Danny, we created a video explaining the types of breath holds in detail. Please take a look and see if this answers your question. Thanks for connecting th-cam.com/video/aKhJY00ZGhA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=NkPPhpxzh69KmJyF
@@TheSchoolofBreath as always thank you very much Abhi
I understand that one has to empty the bowels before doing the kapabhati breathing?
Cool and pleasant!
Keep up the good work.
Pls include explicit instructions related to releasing the locks between holding and breath normally
Thank you 🙏

this is very very difficult for me what does it mean
Hi, Nadine Can you please explain more what in the exercise you find most difficult? Blessings Abhi 🙏
Yes it's like i can't stick my stomach out much it's maybe tight and my breathing i can't do the breathing for more than 15 seconds without feeling out of breath
❤❤ THANK YOU. LOVE IT.
You are so welcome Josephine ❤️❤️❤️ happy new year and lots of blessings 🥳 Cheers Abhi 🙏

Ahemmmm....I did the exercise for 3 days and my lower back developed exquisite pain as though somebody beat me up with 4x4 real good.
OUCH....OUCH...OUCH
What did I do wrong???
Am almost 83 ,in perfect health
@@TheSchoolofBreath
About 12 years ago.i did a breathing exercise similar to this one , for perhaps a month. After that I tapered my practice down to zeroThat time , I only knew about Pranayama breathing
What i did was not pranayama breathing but ""home made " my kundalini immediately woke up , and i started to get out of my body at night. ...in my angelic self ,complete with massive wings of light.
Or. I would be a massive orb of white light. It lasted many years I visited all the dimensions including Hell the new Earth .
Also, my religious beliefs were wiped out.
Then , my physical body emitted light
Like a Iight bulb twice only.
After some years these phenomena dissipated ,bc i had stopped this breathing exercises. At that time , I actually did not know what was causing these physical glitches until I read this article.

Wow, your words truly light up our day! 🌟 It's heartwarming to know that you enjoyed our video. If there's anything specific you loved or want to see more of, feel free to share! Thanks for being a part of our journey at The School of Breath. 🙏💨✨
There’s truth in the breathing technique but it’s really dumb and irritating when these guys make up pseudoscience about mystic magnetism and try to sound smart to people that don’t know any better. Just makes them sound like frauds and charlatans
Thank you for sharing your thoughts Michael. We appreciate your honesty and skepticism. While we understand that some of our audience, like yourself, prefer clear, logical explanations based on scientific evidence, others find value in the esoteric experiential language and traditional concepts that have been passed down through generations which often speaks to the subjective experiences of individuals practicing these techniques, which, while not always easily quantifiable, are significant to many.
Our goal is to bridge these perspectives, offering content that is both scientifically grounded and respectful of the rich traditions from which these practices originate.
Thank you for being a part of our community and for contributing to this important conversation. Cheers Abhi
Mama mia…Kapalbhati and breath of fire are 2 different pranayamas…
Yes, traditionally bhasrika is referred to as breath of fire. However, with modern yoga and TH-cam breath of fire is referred to as kapalbathi and we are using that convention.
@@TheSchoolofBreath ne ne…in kundalini yoga, breath of fire is performed, and in traditional yoga, kapalbhati is performed! Kapalbhati and breath of fire are not the same pranayamas! I personally know both, and there are big differences!
We can spend our energy talking about the differences and what's right or we could just take advantage of the actual breathing techniques. Having said that, we're always open to learning new things. Could you explain what you know?
@@TheSchoolofBreath Personally, I don't see spending energy on talking! You put the title and say Kapalbhati and breath of fire are the same pranayamas! My advice to you is to educate yourself so that you don't teach your viewers the wrong thing! Namaste!
I have tried this previously and felt invigorated before working out or doing something important. I have recently began to incorporate it into my routine. Thank you for this wonderful practice! I hope to recover from recent circumstances in my life. And this will assist me to do this
It's inspiring to hear how the practice has become a valuable part of your routine and how it invigorates you for important moments. We're honored to be with you on your journey of recovery and transformation. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Here's to strength and healing on your path ahead. 🌟

Hi, thank you for your video.
Do you have a style of yoga you prefer or recommend? Thanks 🙏🏼
Many different ones I can recommend based on knowing you a little bit more. How old are you? What's your yoga journey like? What are your goals? (Physical, emotional, spiritual) What part of the world are you based in climate? Sending blessings. Cheers! Abhi 🙏

Sir i want to meet Sri Sri Mahavatar Babaji Maharaj & surrender to Him forever.How can i do it ? Also pls. make an vdo on Kriya Yoga & techniques of VIJNANA BHAIRAVA.
If you can.control yin and yang energy in the lower dantean area, you can generate heat without breathing like this but breathing normally.
How do you do that?

How many pumps in one stage & how many stages in 30 mints
We will wait your good response.
Jay Hind my friend ! I do around 30 pumps in one stage and hold the breath. 3 rounds is enough. No need to do this for 30 minutes. How long have you been practicing yoga ? Much love
Do you breath in and out when you pull the belly in in the exhales? Or are all the exhales coming from one initial breath in ?
Hi there, thanks for the question. You breathe in and out each time you inhale and exhale . Not just one breath. Hope that clarifies the question. Sending blessings, Abhi 🙏
Very nice presentation 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
I had been worried about my energy levels being so low it was concerning me then this video comes up with comments on how this practice energizes someone ❤❤❤thanks universe. ❤
Hi there, thank you for connecting. We are so grateful to hear our video helped you! Thank you for letting us be part of your journey! Wishing you great practice and more energy. Namaste ❤

Thank you
Most welcome
Thanks a lot Sir. It’s wonderful.
You are most welcome. Thank you for practicing and connecting with us. Sending much love and blessings ❤🙏
My natural breathing is so slow. Usually like 3-4 breaths a minute. This beginner version is super hard for me. I barely get in any air for there to be an exhale. I will practice and maybe practice at an slower speed. Thank you!
Understood ! Great job on trying this. Please do it at your speed for some time and naturally you will see the practice becoming faster and more effective. Thanks for connecting here. Sending much love and blessings my friend Cheers Abhi
This guy does it lot faster..other say..very slow. Who to trust ?
Everyone is at different levels, health journey, goals, age etc. You don't need to listen to anyone..try it and let your body guide you what's best for you.. blessings 🙏 Abhi
maybe I'm a bit complicated. What exactly does straight spine mean? Is it actually curved? Should you pull them forward at the bottom? Difference in tension in the spine when inhaling and exhaling? What position is the pelvis in? Can you perhaps describe this in more detail? Thanks
Thanks for the tip.
It is really helpful to increase the energy levels.
Glad it was helpful! Please update us your progress after 3 weeks. Sending blessings. Cheers! Abhi 🙏
Does this pranayama increases blood pressure?
Yes
Thank you Abhi, Wonderful breathing technique which is exactly what I need for strengthening my lungs, helping to heal digestion and increasing the fire in my belly. My wife has joined me in the practice and we are loving it so much we are wondering is this the full practice of Kapalbhatti to do daily or is there a longer more advanced method as I feel I would like to continue when it's finished as we love it so much. Thank you again, you are having a very big impact. Jasen
Yeah this is one exercise definitely not recommended if you have hypertension.
Yes agreed ! Thanks for connecting with us here. It brings the fire element up. I would recommend doing Diaphragmatic breathing for hypertension. This video explains different breathing techniques th-cam.com/video/MFDMi-seHBw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=75anpjFE7n2DlJSj Would love your feedback .. cheers Abhi

Hey a great video man, but i have one question; when to do the advanced Ashwini mudra ? After the kapalbhathi or before starting it ?
How often do I perform this? I'm an "ambitious" student
Hi Nestor, thank you for your enthusiasm! For ambitious students like you, practice 3 minutes in the morning and 3 minutes in the evening, but not more than that. Sending much love and blessings for your practice, Abhi 🙏
@TheSchoolofBreath What are the risks of doing more than prescribed? Kundalini psychosis (worst case scenario)? Activation of forces and energies I "can't" control, etc.? Thank you for your response.
Thank you for the clear explanation. Does this help to gain weight? I heard prana mudra and prithvi mudra help gaining weight. I started doing prana mudra. I feel alot better since I started this mudra. But most people have mentioned about the prithvi mudra to gain weight. Now I am confused. Which mudra should I really do to gain weight and how long should I practice this per day? Thanks!
Yes might not help with the weight gain initially but in the long run this will balance the pitta element and help in keeping the weight steady. Yes In fact Prithvi mudra (please checkout the video on mudras in our playlist) is the best for gaining weight also please combine with proper diet (include good fat avocado etc) and of-course love your body however it is now. Sending love and blessings
@@TheSchoolofBreath Thank you very much 🙏😊
