Bhastrika Pranayama, accelerated breathing is also known as rapid blowing or bellows breathing. In some schools it may take another name.
It is a pranayama to include in your daily life, especially in the morning when you wake up, or when you need a little extra energy.
It brings energy and generates hyperventilation, it is a pranayama used to energize the body and mind, it is not recommended to do it before going to sleep
combats tiredness and sleep. Take the test of changing a cup of coffee during your working day, for a few minutes of bhastrika
fights the cold due to the heat it generates. I particularly do it in the winter when bathing, when the water doesn't get hot enough 🙂
strengthens the diaphragm and abdominal muscles. It is a type of breathing that tires the muscles, but with only a few minutes of practice you can feel its benefits.
increases lung capacity, is widely used as a preparation for apnea
To practice Bhastrika Pranayama start by doing some diaphragmatic breaths (adhama pranayama) and then speed up your breathing, keeping your inspiration and exhalation for the same duration. Each cycle (inspiration / exhalation) should be approximately 1 second, but in the first practices you can experiment it more slowly. Being a pranayama that requires muscle, maybe the first few times you will get tired quickly. In this case, the first practices take only 30 seconds and gradually increase until several minutes. When you can stay a few minutes without slowing down, try doing some twists (still sitting) or side bends. During execution, try not to move your chest or shoulders. Keep your face as relaxed as possible.
