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.

This was a fun exercise. I never did anything like this before. I loved how it opened my lungs and get the blooding flowing. I will definitely do this every day. It might help with my asthma. Thank you David!!! :)

Interesting, never done anything like that before. I’ve been a mouth breather all my life so I think this was very good for me.

Found 30 breaths was doable and kept a steady rythmn. 40 my breathing became irregular so took that as a cue that 30 was enough for now.

This may be directed at waking up, but it was also great for an end of the day focus.
