Part 4/8:
Progressing to Kriyas: Kapalabhati and Bhastrika
Kriyas, outlined as intense breathing practices, are next. The first is Kapalabhati, a technique characterized by forceful exhalation followed by passive inhalation. Through this practice, participants strengthen their core and stimulate all organs, significantly improving digestion and increasing energy levels.
Naveen emphasizes the contraindications for this practice, making it clear that individuals with heart concerns, abdominal issues, or lower back pain—among others—should refrain from Kriyas and stick with abdominal breathing instead.
