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.

I can’t wait to try this in the morning - didn’t get to it until evening.

Short and sweet, although I don't like how light-headed I get doing these breathing exercises.

Yes, for the first while I also felt light-headed and I still do at times. It does change, though. You never know how and when, but now that I've been doing pranayama for over a decade the experience is a little different each time. Sometimes it's really uncomfortable, sometimes it feels exhilarating. The constant for me is the feeling of energy clearing and my body feeling more alive and present.
