Pranayama of the Inspiring Breath(2nd Method)


Method: Stand up straight and without slouching.

Maintain a 10-12 inch distance between your knees.

Make sure your weight is evenly distributed on all of your feet.

Extend your chest, hold your neck straight, and draw your head back gently.

Maintain a side-to-side position with your hands at your hips, palms touching your thighs.

Take a deep breath in gently and gradually.

Raise your hands gently above your head as you breathe in. Allow your palms to meet and then press them together as tightly as possible without bending your elbows. This will cause waves to travel down your hands, elbows, and upper chest.

Stop rubbing your hands together and balance on your toes, lifting your feet in the air until your inhalation is over.

Maintain this posture for 8-10 seconds while holding your breath.

Then gently exhale and return to your original standing pose by bringing your hands down to your sides.

This is the end of one Pranayama session.

Rep this exercise 5-7 times.

Before doing something else, take a 2-minute break.

This Pranayama provides the practitioner with a special sense of serenity and calmness, as well as maintaining adequate blood supply in the limbs.
