Pranayama practice and yin yoga

Post by Bernie »

I am not a fan of forceful pranayama practices, but I do use a soft Ocean Breath in my yang practices (see my article The yin-side of breathing). I have no concerns over simple practices like alternate nostril breathing, but please be careful of doing extended sessions of kapalabhati or bastrika: only do these with a knowledgeable and experienced teacher's guidance.

Cheers!
