Skull Cleanser Part I

Hi David
I am presently undertaking my yoga TT and want to include kapalabhati into my final assessment of 1.5 hour class. If I do it in the beginning should I do it before of after a few minutes of stillness that focuses on breathing to get the class settled, focused and relaxed. Or at the end before other pranayama practice that I do before going into savasana?

I like this- but I was not able to do it nearly as fast as he did- and when he said speed up, I was a bit faster but not much. I will continue to practice.

Hi there.
Kapalabhati is designed to wake you up, so it's best not to do it just before you want to go to sleep. You'll also find it uncomfortable if you do it right after eating. Other than that, there is no best time. I find doing it first thing in the morning is very effective at getting me to wake up and be alert. It's the same when I feel a lull in the middle of the day and need an energy boost.
And to the previous question, yes, you can sit on a block.
Warm regards,

Hi David,
What is the best time to do Kapalbhati? Morning or evening? Could it be done after having the food?
Thanks.

Second question, sorry for double post! :(
Can I sit on a block while performing this exercise?

I like kapalabhati, very much. My question is just how many time should i repeat this sequence? 1? 3? 7? 21? As much as i want?
Thanks
