Part 2/5:
To practice, sit up tall and straight. Start by flexibly and playfully panting with your tongue out as if mimicking a dog. Though it may seem amusing, this panting technique helps establish the basis for controlled breath. After a few seconds of this playful panting, close your mouth while continuing the breath through the nose, maintaining a rhythm that focuses your energy and prepares your body for movement.
For those who are pregnant or menstruating, it is advisable to opt for long, deep breathing instead of Breath of Fire, promoting relaxation rather than energy pushing.
