Kapalabhati

Kapalabhati is a breathing technique from yoga that involves rapid, forceful exhales through the nose, followed by passive inhales. It is often called “skull-shining breath” because it energizes the mind and clears mental clutter. Physically, it stimulates the abdominal muscles and energizes the nervous system, helping to detoxify the respiratory pathways. This practice can improve respiratory efficiency, boost circulation, and increase mental clarity. It is typically performed in short rounds and is best learned under guidance to ensure proper technique and safety.
