KAPALBHATI PRANAYAM
KAPALBHATI PRANAYAM
Kapalbhati comes from the word 'Kapal' (forehead) and 'Bhati' (to shine)
Kapalbhati is said to have distinct mental, physical & spiritual benefits.
There is no better way to unite the trinity of body, mind and soul as practicing yoga. It is interesting how one can evolve - both in mind and body
- just by practicing stillness and immobility. Immobility, as you get
into a pose and aim to hold it for the longest that your body can handle
and in the process you heal and become stronger.
Deep breathing,
when performed with a mix of asanas, heals the body from within fixing
all internal imbalances. Talking of immobility, breathing and fixing
imbalances, kapalbhati is one such asana which requires zero effort and
gives great returns.
"Kapalbhati is a shat kriya, which means it's a
form of a cleansing technique that removes toxic air and toxins from the body,"
