What Is The Breath of Fire Kundalini Yoga Pranayama:
The first Yoga breathing exercise we will explore lies at the heart of Kundalini Yoga practice, it is the
legendary Breath of Fire Yoga Pranayama.
As mentioned above this breathing exercise is absolutely essential to the practice of Kundalini Yoga.
The roots of this pranayama are impossible to trace but I would like to thank my teacher Ravi Singh
under whose expert guidance I learned this technique.

Balances and strengthens the Nervous System.

Magnifies the benefits of exercises done in conjunction with this breath.
When done forcefully, the pulsating of the diaphragm massages the internal organs, thus
improving the digestive system.
Cautions for Practicing Breath of Fire Kundalini Yoga Pranayama:
If you feel dizzy when practicing Breath of Fire, you should stop and substitute normal
breathing. If you suffer from vertigo, you should use caution in practicing this breathing
exercise.
If you are menstruating you should not practice Breath of Fire, use Long Deep Breathing
instead.
You should be careful practicing Breath of Fire if you have high blood pressure, heart disease
or suffer from stroke or epilepsy. Also, if you have acid or heat related gastric issues such as
ulcers you should use caution.
How To Do Basic Breath of Fire Kundalini Yoga Pranayama:
To practice this breathing exercise sit up in a comfortable position.
Elongate your spine upwards, lengthen your neck and subtly bring your chin back and in like a
soldier at attention. This will align the spine with the back of your head.
Close your eyes.
Rest your hands in any comfortable position.
Relax your stomach muscles.
Now begin to breathe rapidly through the nose with equal emphasis on the inhalation and
exhalation. It will be like very fast sniffing. Keep the breath shallow, just at the tip of the
nose. Proceed at a comfortable pace and establish a steady rhythm. Pay no special attention
to the chest or diaphragm other that staying relaxed. You will find the stomach pulses on its
own in rhythm to the breath. Thats it, continue for 1 minute.
How To Do Intermediate Breath of Fire Kundalini Yoga Pranayama:
Perform the breathing at a faster pace.
Increase the duration of the exercise to 3 minutes
How To Do Advanced Breath of Fire Kundalini Yoga Pranayama:
Build up the pace and power with which you do the breathing.
Build up the time for this pranayama to 11 minutes.
Secret of Breath of Fire Kundalini Yoga Pranayama:
So the trick question is, How many breaths are you taking when doing the breath of fire yoga
pranayama? This will be of some special concern to those who believe in the idea that each of us is

born with a preset number of breaths and once we finish our quota the fat lady sings. So for
those folks it would be rather alarming to practice this exercise regularly, as they would be drastically
reducing their life span but, thankfully they need not worry. The beauty of this breathing exercise,
aside from its lengthy list of benefits, is that it registers to the brain as only 1 breath. So put your
worries aside and enjoy the practice of this pranayama which I have found to be one of the real
gems of Kundalini Yoga.

Oxygenation of the arterial blood during tiny normal breathing at rest (i.e., medical norm) is about 99%.
Therefore, one cannot increase blood oxygenation using this exercise.
Pranayama according to classical yoga is a slow breathing exercise with the purpose to make all phases longer
and to increase CO2 in the lungs, blood and other cells. With increased CO2, breathing at rest becomes slower
and this is the ultimate goal of yoga to achieve about 3-4 breaths per minute for basal breathing at rest (and
sleep) with about 7-9 minutes for maximum breath holding time (the criterion of super oxygenation).
However, during last 50 years, there was a lot of rubbish created by yoga teachers related to breathing more
air and toxic CO2. More details: http://www.normalbreathing.com/yoga-breathing.php
