Kapalabhati (Skull-Shining Breath)<\/h3>\n<h4>Good For<\/h4>\nClearing out bad vibes.\n<h4>How to<\/h4>\n&#8220;Sit yourself up well. Lift the arms into a wide v-shape above the head. Turn your palms to face the ceiling and makes cups with the hands. Take a deep breath in and exhale completely. Inhale a smaller sip of air, seal the lips and begin to take sharp, short exhalations through both nostrils. The belly will snap up and in with each exhalation.&#8221;\n<h4>Pro-Tip<\/h4>\n&#8220;It&#8217;s supposed to be a little bit agitating and uncomfortable. You&#8217;re starting to move things around, loosen the junk and unstick the muck. You&#8217;ll start to feel a lot of heat building structure in the body, which is ideal.&#8221;\n\n<img data-dominant-color=\"beb7b8\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #beb7b8;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18406 not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Breathing-Exercise-Bellows-Breath-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition.jpg\" alt=\"Yoga teacher practicing bellow's breath or bastrika \" width=\"770\" height=\"410\" \/>\n<h3>2. Bhastrika (Bellows Breath)<\/h3>\n<h4>Good For<\/h4>\nWaking yourself up first thing in the morning.\n<h4>How To<\/h4>\nSit up in a kneeling position. Place your hands onto your hip points and close your eyes.\u00a0 As you inhale, become concave in the chest while the shoulders, elbows, and crown of the head reach forward. As you exhale, tilt your pelvis back, lift the chest, bring the face upwards and the elbows back. Continue moving through these two positions in synch with the breath. As the movement becomes more familiar you can increase your speed.\n\nWhen you feel ready to stop, take a deep breath in and sweep the arms out and up over your head. Link the thumbs and hold your breath in at the top, letting the pressure build. Then, release the breath and arms. Press your hands into the floor or onto the kneecaps giving yourself a moment to ground down.\n<h4>Pro-Tip<\/h4>\n&#8220;Do as many as you&#8217;re comfortable with; I like to do 100 breaths. This exercise is really effective at toning the liver, spleen, pancreas and all the other organs in the belly. You&#8217;re also working in the hips and the pelvis. Starting your day with the movement here will help heat up the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/types-of-rest\/\">rest<\/a> of your body.&#8221;\n\n<img data-dominant-color=\"c9c8cd\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #c9c8cd;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18409 not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Alternate-Nostril-Breathing-Exercise-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition.png\" alt=\"Yoga teacher demonstrating alternate nostril breathing exercise\" width=\"770\" height=\"414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Alternate-Nostril-Breathing-Exercise-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition.png 770w, https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Alternate-Nostril-Breathing-Exercise-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition-640x344.png 640w, https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Alternate-Nostril-Breathing-Exercise-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition-768x413.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/>\n<h3>3. Nadi Shodhana (Alternate-Nostril Breathing)<\/h3>\n<h4>Good For<\/h4>\nCalming the mind\u00a0when you&#8217;re stressed or anxious.\n<h4>How to<\/h4>\nPlace the left-hand open face up on the top of the left thigh. Take your right hand and fold down the middle and index fingers down so that just the pinky, ring finger, and thumb remain extended. Bring your thumb to hover over the right nostril. Take a deep breath in through both nostrils. Exhale it out.\n\nPress down on the right nostril with the thumb to close it and inhale through the left nostril. Close both nostrils by pressing down of the left nostril using your ring and pinky finger. Release the thumb and exhale through the right nostril. Inhale through the right nostril, close both nostrils, then release and exhale through the left side.\u00a0Inhale through the left nostril, close both nostrils, open the thumb and exhale through the right.\u00a0Continue moving the breath from side to side.\n<h4>Pro-Tip<\/h4>\n&#8220;You&#8217;ll notice throughout the day that one side of the nose becomes less clear to breathe in and out of. This works to manipulate that. By breathing through one side of the nose and then the other, you engage the opposite channels of the body.&#8221;\n\n<em>Looking for more ways to manage stress at home?
