Kapalabathi Breath Pranayama Teaching Tips
The exhalation in the Skull Shining Breath is active and forceful. Feel that you are throwing out your breath.
Don’t focus any attention on the inhale. Relax your abdominal muscles, and the inhale will happen naturally.
Keep 100% of your attention on the exhale.
Practice on an empty stomach.
