Wake-up and clear your head with this short, but full, pranayama yoga class. It's the perfect combination of breathing exercises, including deep abdominal breathing, kapalabhati pranayama (the skull cleanser) and meditation. The diaphragmatic breathing helps calm your nerves before moving into the breathing techniques that wake you up. If you like this class, the next step is David's Pranayama Yoga To Move Energy.

Found this really hard. Could you do a video where you have a beginner doing the exercises as an achievable example?

Hi Lydia.
Thank for the feedback. Did you find it difficult to do the breath in general, or to do it quickly? Sometimes if you stick with a slow pace, that's the way to build your body up to being able to increase the pace gradually, while keeping the body relaxed.
I will also look into filming a beginner tutorial video.

Really liked this one! Probably shouldn't do it right before bed though. I feel so focused
