What Is Bhastrika Kriya?
Bhastrika Kriya is an inner energy process, known as a Kriya, that uses the breath — or Pranayama — as a tool for transformation.

As Sadhguru explains, “A human being breathes 12 to 15 times per minute normally. With the practice of Bhastrika, this number comes down. Bhastrika Kriya is not just a practice; it is a certain possibility that happens within you.”

By reducing the breath rate and enhancing lung capacity, the practice invites profound stillness and clarity into your life.
