Kapalbhati Yoga

 



Forehead Glow technique = Kapalbhati; Shining breath = Bhati.


In the current circumstances, the Kapalbhati method holds significance. Here's a brief guide to understanding the importance of breath in boosting your immune system and how Kapalbhati aids in regulating breathing for improved ease.


In these challenging pandemic times, fostering a robust immune system and maintaining mental clarity are crucial. Our breath serves as a valuable tool to alleviate anxiety and panic, possessing remarkable recuperative powers. The breath is intricately linked to our mental and emotional well-being, influencing thoughts and emotions vice versa. By gradually normalizing our breath, we contribute to reducing stress hormones and activating the lymphatic system, crucial for immune function.


Engaging the parasympathetic nervous system enhances our relaxation and regeneration response, fostering resilience to face challenges effectively.
