So in this article I will give some handy tips on how you can get more Yoga and Meditation practice into your busy lives by doing some clever multitasking.

Of the many yoga pranayama breathing exercises there are, I think the following 2 stand apart: Breath of Fire Yoga Pranayama & Kapalbhati Yoga Pranayama. These 2 pranayamas have an encyclopedic list of benefits and what’s best about them is that they are both simple to do and easy to slot in into your daily life… especially when you are driving!

Yes that’s right… driving. Obviously DO NOT do these breathing exercises if it at all affects your driving, but, generally speaking since driving is mostly habitual for most of us, it provides the ideal time for getting in some additional spiritual work.

A car really is attractive conducive for such pranayama practice. You are already sitting up, so just straighten your spine (use a lumbar cushion if you need to), you have music obtainable so put on some stirring tunes, you have a clock to instance yourself and you even have a fan to stay cool. What more can you ask for?

If you have family in the car with you, great, you can all practice together, why not. Both Breath of Fire pranayama and Kapalbhati pranayama are gulp of air exercises that activate energy pathways within you and increase your energy, so there is no risk of them making you drowsy or drowsy. Really, no important change is wanted to practice either pranayama while driving so take advantage of this time and give it a try.

To practice Breath of Fire, begin to breathe rapidly through the nose putting equal emphasis on the mouthful of air and the exhalation. Allow the stomach and diaphragm to stay relaxed and simply pulse to the rhythm of the breath. It is important in breath of fire to not force the air in very deep, but instead keep it at the tip of nose and just breathe rapidly.

To practice Kapalbhati pranayama, again keep everything relaxed and simply expel the air forcefully through your nose, then allow the inhalation to take place as simple inert recoil. As you exhale vehemently, pull your abdominal muscles in towards your spine, and as you inhale just allow them to re-expand naturally. If there are other pranayama exercises you are doing, they too might be suitable to do while driving. So be imaginative and see if driving is conducive to fit in them. So as you are getting to your physical destination continue to make growth towards your holy destination as well.
