The Three Bodies: A Map of Your Layers

Reasons to practice Kapalabhati
Kapalabhati is a pranayama practice from the yoga tradition. It consists of short, forceful exhales through the nose driven by a sharp contraction of the lower belly, while the inhale is completely passive — simply a rebound.
Its benefits touch every layer of the self — the physical body, the yoga practice, and the deeper energetic body beneath it all.

The Best Way to Know: Try a Few

Yoga isn’t something you fully understand by reading about it — it’s something you learn through experience.

Try a few different classes. Notice how you feel afterward. Pay attention to what supports your body, your breath, and your focus.

Over time, your practice naturally starts to point you in the right direction.

And the good news is: if the class includes breath, movement, and attention, you’re already practicing hatha yoga.
