Kapalbhati in Vajrasana – Blowing in Firm Pose – Monday November 19, 2012
A common mistake made in this final breathing exercise is the forcing of the abdomen forward on the exhalation. In other words, contracting the muscles first inward (bringing the belly button to the spine) then pushing the abdominal muscles outward, bulging the belly outward. Instead there is a simple contraction inward, then a release, with each new contraction starting from a resting position.
TIP: As a beginner a repeated reminder/mantra might be helpful. IN IN IN…. reminding yourself to only focus on the contraction; then letting go.
