How To Do Yoga Chandra Bhastrika Pranayama

  • 8 years ago
Yoga breathing which is known as pranayama yoga is the first step toward re-orienting and improving the functioning of your mind and body by learning to optimise the breathing process. The Yogis were the first to discover the importance of oxygen and breath control and devised an exact science of breathing. They called it PRANA-YAMA, from the Sanskrit word prana meaning breath, and yama, its cessation. Pranayama implies correct breathing and breath control.

Benefits: Bhastrika Pranayama refreshes body and mind. It has a regenerating and rejuvenating influence upon the whole body and improves memory. Circulation is stimulated. The increased blood supply to the head improves eyesight and hearing. The lungs are strengthened and it is beneficial for bronchitis, as the respiratory system is quickly and deeply purified. Digestive function is stimulated, improving metabolism. The breakdown of fats is especially accelerated. This breathing technique also activates the solar plexus and Manipura Chakra.
