Part 2/7:
To begin the pranayama session, participants are encouraged to find an easy cross-legged sitting position, ensuring a straight spine and relaxed shoulders. The practice is ideally performed on an empty stomach, with a suggestion to wait three to four hours after eating. As Bharti points out, regular pranayama practice can activate inner energy, boost immunity, and foster tranquillity.
Initial Breathing Exercises
The session initiates with deep yogic breaths, allowing participants to build a foundation before progressing to more advanced techniques. Bharti guides participants through a series of inhalations and exhalations, focusing on expanding the belly and chest.
- Yogic Breath Preparation:
Inhale deeply, expanding the belly.
Exhale fully as the belly contracts.
