Kapalbhati:

Kapalbhati is an element of the yogic body cleansing system that is known


as shatkarma or shatkriya. This Sanskrit word is derived from the root words kapal, meaning
“skull," and bhati, which is best translated as “illuminating” or “shining.”
The basic idea of kapalbhati is that the brain and all parts of the skull are cleansed through
short but strong exhalations of air.

Bhastrika:

Bhastrikā[1] is an important breath exercise in yoga and pranayama. It is sometimes


treated as a kriya or 'cleansing action' along with kapalabhati to clear the airways in preparation
for other pranayama techniques. Bhastrika involves a rapid and forceful process of inhalation
and exhalation powered by the movement of the diaphragm. The movement of air is
accompanied by an audible sound. One inhale and exhale equals one round of bhastrika,[2] and
it may be repeated for many consecutive rounds. B. K. S. Iyengar explains that the similar
"process or kriyā of kapālabhāti is a milder form of Bhastrikā Prāṇāyāma.[2] Swami
Sivananda describes the process: "inhale and exhale quickly ten times like the bellows of the
blacksmith. Constantly dilate and contract. When you practise this Pranayama a hissing sound
is produced. The practitioner should start with rapid expulsions of breath following one another
in rapid succession. When the required number of expulsions, say ten for a round, is finished,
the final expulsion is followed by a deepest possible inhalation. The breath is suspended as
long as it could be done with comfort. Then deepest possible exhalation is done very slowly.
The end of this deep exhalation completes one round of Bhastrika".[

Anulom Vilom:
Anuloma viloma pranayama is a yogic breathing exercise that is a form of alternate nostril
breathing designed to calm the body and mind. The term is sometimes used as a synonym
for nadi shodhana, but the latter encompasses several different types of alternate breathing
exercises. Anuloma viloma pranayama is also known as nadi shodhana level 3.
The name comes from the Sanskrit, anu, meaning “with”; vi, meaning “against” or “contrary
to”; and loma, meaning “hair.” Anuloma, therefore, means “with the hair” or “with the grain,”
and viloma means “against the natural course.” Pranayama comes from two Sanskrit words:
prana, meaning "life force energy," and yama, meaning "control" – and refers to breath-control
exercises. It is good for brain also.

Bhujangasana:

Bhujangasana is the Sanskrit name for a popular yoga asana, otherwise known as Cobra Pose.
It is a gentle backbend, most commonly performed as part of a Sun Salutation, in which it can
be used as a less strenuous alternative to Urdhva Mukha Svanasana (Upward Facing Dog). The
term is derived from two Sanskrit roots; bhujanga, meaning "serpent" or "snake"
and asana meaning "seat" or "posture".
Vajrasana:

Vajrasana is the Sanskrit name for a seated yoga asana. This posture provides a deep stretch
for the quadriceps and the tops of the feet, and is believed to assist in digestion. Vajrasana can
be used as a transitional or resting pose between other asana, and it is often used as a posture
for meditation.
The term is derived from two Sanskrit roots; vajra, meaning ‘"hunderbolt" or "diamond" and
asana meaning "seat" or "posture".
To enter the pose, begin by kneeling on the floor with the knees an

Padmasana:
Padmasana is the Sanskrit name for a renowned yoga asana, otherwise known as Lotus Pose.
It is a seated posture, in which the legs are crossed and the feet are positioned on top of the
opposite thighs at the hip crease. The term is derived from two Sanskrit roots; padma, meaning
"lotus" and asana meaning "seat" or "posture".

Halasana:
Halasana is a folded inversion, traditionally considered a finishing pose that may be practiced
at the end of a yoga session. As a finishing pose, it helps prepare the body for
relaxation, pranayama and meditation.
To begin, lie down on the ground with arms at the sides and palms pressing down. Lift the legs
up to a vertical position. Then lift the hips and spine from the floor, bringing the legs behind
the head. The toes are then placed on the floor and the legs are gently straightened.
The name comes from the Sanskrit hala meaning "plow," and asana, meaning "pose."
Therefore, halasana is also referred to as plow pose in English.
