Yoga Zone Countdown; Day 1

Kapalbhati

ashtanga-yoga


Sit comfortably and, for the first time in class, relax your belly and let it hang out! Arms long and straight, palms always facing down for Pranayama-work. Relax shoulders. Deep breath. Ah! Now you’re ready.
The focus of this exercise in one the exhale. Inhale is vacuumed in naturally. Start with an easy, relaxed “flutter” of the diaphragm. Short, sharp, exhales using your belly as a pump. Imagine you’re shooting out darts of air with each exhale. Find a rhythm. This an energizing, cleansing breath. Perfect way to seal your class.
