Breath of Fire or as it is also called -inspired by the YogaBody teachings- “Coffee breathing.” Use this practice with caution. As with coffee, you don't want too much too often. Use it in the morning to get you going, to wake you up. You can also use it before exercise to start moving, and maybe in the afternoon, when you feel you’re going for that sugary snack.

Let's practice breath of fire,

A coffee category breathing that will energize and wake up your body.

To begin take a comfortable seated position.

If you're sitting on the floor,

Cross your legs.

If you're sitting on a chair,

Legs hip distance apart.

The soles of your feet planted on the floor,

Your back away from the backrest.

Place both hands on your belly for a more conscious practice.

We will exhale by engaging the muscles of the lower abdomen and forcing the breath out.

Think of a sneezing sensation or as if somebody threw a ball right into your belly.

Focus on sharp strong exhales and allow the inhale to happen on its own.

It sounds like this.
