  2. Hey Anmol,

    I am glad you like it! :-)

    In the book, “Light On Pranayama,” B.K.S. Iyengar states that one should not stop pranayama after an exhalation because it weakens one’s heart. I don’t have practical experience with that. :-) So, as a caution I included it.

    In Babaji’s Kriya Yoga , we are not taught that. However, by the end of the last round of Kriya Kundalini Pranayama, my body automatically takes another inhalation, so I guess it is body’s natural tendency after a strenuous pranayama round to do that and it was just made explicit in the pranayama book mentioned above (and I included that as well, as a precaution).

    Thanks,
    Desika

  3. Thanks for the insightful article. Any idea if someone teaches these techniques in the seattle area?

  4. Hi Anu,

    Thanks for the appreciation. I am planning to start teaching these techniques soon, in the Seattle area, in addition to techniques being taught by my music teacher and mentor Ashok Kumara (Sadhana School of Arts) in Bellevue, WA. My course plan is in the works (of course, with his permission to include his techniques also).

    In the meantime, if you are interested please check out Ashok’s website for the workshops and courses he offers in addition to South Indian Classical Music (Carnatic Music). I would surely recommend attending at least one of his workshop sessions. He is just great! He teaches different pranayama techniques from those mentioned here on the blog (these are very simple ones). You can mention me to him, when you see him. :-)

    Thanks,
    Desika

  5. Thanks so much for the response. Sorry I am already in Ashok’s class. I should have mentioned that. While I am learning great techniques from him I would also be interested in learning the pranayama techniques similar to what you have mentioned in your blog.
    I have been trying to overcome bronchial infections that I have been catching frequently in the last 2 years and think that Pranayama will definitely help me overcome them. Let me know your thoughts and do keep me posted when you plan to start teaching them.
    BTW I enjoy what you write in your blog. You write everything in a very simple and easily comprehensible manner. Thanks for the great effort.

  6. Anu,

    For some reason your name felt familiar, though I may have not met you in person. If you like I can coach you on these pranayama techniques to help you with your problems. I have other ideas as well. If you like, you can just send me an email from the contact page.

    Thanks,
    Desika
