Kapalabhati Breath of Fire
Kapalabhati breath of fire uses rapid nasal exhales for alertness and core wake-up—morning use only, not a pre-sleep or pre-max-lift tool.
Kapalabhati—breath of fire—uses sharp exhales through the nose with passive inhales, often in rapid cycles to raise alertness and abdominal tone. It is stimulating, not relaxing—avoid before sleep or max lifts.
Start with twenty to thirty pumps, rest, repeat two to three rounds; stop on tingling or anxiety spikes. Contraindicated with pregnancy, uncontrolled hypertension, or recent abdominal surgery.
