Namaste and Welcome to Namaste Yoga.
My name is Surbhi. I am a Yoga Teacher.
The goal of my Channel is to tell you
all those little tips and tricks that many
Yoga teachers know
but somehow in class settings
they do not get conveyed to the students.
In today's video we are going to talk about Vipreet Swas
or Breath of Fire.
It is a little tricky to get this,
because it is hard to explain.
how
exactly
to do this.
But, I will try my best today.
First of all, sit in any comfortable position.
Make sure that your spine is comfortably erect.
The spine plays the main role in this Pranayama.
Sit up straight.
Because you want to maintain the relationship
between your naval center and your heart.
In this Pranayama, as the name says,
Breath of Fire,
Our breath goes at a really high speed.
May be 3-5 times
per second.
So you really have to breath really really fast.
But the way to do it is,
to make sure that
your inhale and exhale both are equal.
Inhale should not be longer,
exhale should not be longer.
They both needs to be very equal.
And to make sure how you can do that
is:
If you are sitting too erect,
then your inhalation is going to be a little longer.
And if you are slouching down,
then your exhalation automatically
will be a little longer.
So, make sure that your spine is at its natural curve,
comfortably erect.
Your hands should be in Dhyan Mudra.
Take a deep inhale.
Exhale out.
And then take little breaths,
very fast,
3-5 times per second.
and it will look like this.
I know it is really hard to show in the video.
Once you start practicing, you will know it.
Just for the video's sake,
I am going to breathe heavily,
making a noise.
So, you can see,
what I am trying to explain it to you.
But actually
you are not suppose to breathe that heavily.
Breath has to be very calm,
and quiet.
So, when we start,
it goes like this.
Like that.
So
Initially what
sometimes happens is:
we take inhale,
and we just keep exhaling.
Then after a while we feel like
we have to inhale again.
So, try not to do that.
Start slow.
That is the main tip
I would give you.
Just go like this....
Yes, you are going to get tired.
Yes, you will feel like taking a deep inhale
once in a while.
But
that is how you will gain the speed.
Anything we do in life,
no matter what,
we have to practice.
If we don't know how to do it, we always
start slow.
So, people who have mastered this breath
they can breathe
five times in one second.
So, make sure your hands are in Dhyana Mudra.
and go slow.
Again I am breathing loudly for YOU guys.
You don't do that!
Like so.
And while doing that,
if you feel like you need to take a breath,
deep breath in between,
you are most welcome to do it.
Now, Breath of Fire
we should do it for at least 2 minutes.
2-3 minutes.
So, start with Goal
that OK;
I will do it for 5 seconds today.
or for 10 seconds.
and slowly slowly, day by day,
start your increasing your time.
And keep in mind,
when we are exhaling,
naturally sometimes, our back start to fall down.
So, keep your back straight.
Because this happens.
and then you feel like.....
So, make sure your back is straight,
and you will be able to breathe properly.
I hope these tips were helpful to you.
