TODAY'S LEARNING
Kapalabhati: Fire Breathing Exercise
Kapalabhati is a very important asana and it should be part of your daily practice. This pose is also known as the Fire Breathing Pose, due to intake and outlet of air, with force. The exercise purifies your lungs and nasal passage. It is one of the powerful breathing exercises which help the entire body. It is one of a kind of breathing exercise in Pranayama. Kapalabhati helps to make the motions of the diaphragm very easy and controlled. This helps it to discard the muscle cramps present in bronchial tubes. A lot of force is used to do this asana. While exhaling the process is very strong and while inhaling it is done very calmly. It is a very energizing technique to re-boot all your muscles. It is a cleansing technique that emphasizes on cleaning your air passages and blockages in your chest.
This technique helps to remove the toxic air and takes in the fresh air. The breathing mainly takes place from the abdomen rather than the chest which helps to remove the toxic air. Kapala means ‘the skull’ and bhati means ‘brings lightness'. It lightens your skull by extracting problems like sinusitis. It is an invigorating and an energizing asana as it clears your stuffy skull with fresh air. It is one of the great exercises for asthma patients and people suffering from respiratory problems. It is useful in removing impurities from the blood. It is a very stimulating asana which can do wonders to every single tissue of your body. This asana invigorates your spine due to the breathing technique.
It clears your body from constant intake of toxins, thus detoxifying it. It is very useful for maintaining your blood pressure. The abdominal organs get strengthened due to the pressure applied on these organs while breathing and exhaling. It increases blood circulation due to a fresh supply of blood. It also improves the bowel movement which means getting rid of the basic troublesome diseases. The abdominal area is toned with the help of the breathing technique. A sense of calmness is achieved due to the lightness of the skull. It helps you to think better and take decisions quickly. It also keeps your mind alert. It helps clear your entire nervous system which proves to be very useful in making your body fit and fine. It is a great breathing technique to help your mind and soul. It helps to awaken your spiritual power which heals many problems you keep facing most of the times.

YOGAPEDIA
Frog Pose (Mandukasana)
What is Frog Pose?
Frog pose, or mandukasana in Sanskrit, is a deep hip opener that's often practiced in yin yoga classes. From a tabletop position, the yogi opens their knees wide and supports the upper body with the forearms. Though physically intense, the pose has an overall calming effect.
Instructions
Begin in tabletop.
Exhale and gradually widen the knees, keeping the feet in line with the knees and toes pointed out. Lower the forearms to the ground and interlace the fingers.
Go as far as is comfortable without straining.
Breathe while holding the pose.
Exhale and push the hands into the floor, mindfully moving the knees back in toward one another.
Sit back onto the feet.
