yogalap.com | In this video, Michaël Bijker explains how to do Bhastrika Pranayama/ breath of fire as described in the yoga sutras. The explanation is followed by a nice session of breathing. Bhastrika pranayama, also called 'Breath of Fire', literally means the ‘bellows breath’. We rhythmically inhale and exhale forcefully, oxygenating the body, stimulating the blood flow through the vital organs and stimulating the energy system.

Excellent. You are doing great service to mankind. Here in India, I have learnt many yogasanas by attending RSS's free yoga learning camps. Though I had learnt Nadi shodhaka pranayama by an elder RSS man in India, I couldn't learnt Bhastika Pranayama from them to date. So thanks for teaching this to me. You are no less than any other Indian gurujis. I appreciate your service to mankind through Yoga. You teach really better than any Indian guruji'd. We admire you a lot in India. Great. My pranams to you guruji.

Sir the sad part of reality , people who are genuine like you reach only certain level of audience , but people who made well established business on mining money by selling there not traditional and not scientific methods are doing more harm than good to millions of people who follow them . Sir why is that good people like cannot be such famous , so that people should deserve some one like you who can be a real guru and help them to improve their spiritual and materialistic life fruitfully

All things in life have their purpose. Everybody is free. All people are here for a reason. I totally understand your emotional reaction to living in such an upside down world. Yet we don't have to save the world, we are here to save ourselves and by doing so we become a source of love and inspiration for those around us. Like someone was told by God: "Your life isn't about you, it's about how you touch other people's lives." So go within and search for the Love and Light within. I have learned to respect the freedom of others and not try to convince them all the time about what truths or beautiful things are available in the world. Let it be, because being is what we all came here to do, isn't it?

I have been doing this practice pretty every morning since 3rd January. Now today 18th March, I find my lungs are much healthier, and quite coincidentally better prepared if I am infected with carona virus. Thankyou, Michael. And ThankYou, MaLord!
