Article on KAPALBHATI PRANAYAMA (Cleansing Breathing Exercise)
By Subodh Gupta Corporate Yoga Trainer (Consultant The Times of India)
Kapal in Sanskrit means FOREHEAD, and Bhati in Sanskrit means SHINING. Practicing Kapalbhati on regular basis
leads to shining face with inner radiance. Kapalbhati is highly energizing abdominal breathing exercise.
What we do in Kapalbhati Pranayama
In Kapalabhati we do quick exhalation and natural inhalation. Normally exhalation takes one fourth of the time of
inhalation. Quick exhalation and natural inhalation follow each other.
Benefits of Kapalabhati
1) Kapalabhati cleanses the lungs and entire respiratory system. ..............................

Article on Anuloma Viloma Pranayama (Alternate Nostril Breathing)
Benefits of Anuloma Viloma:
Physical benefits
1. Anuloma Viloma cleanses and strengthens the lungs and entire respiratory system.
2. During retention, there is the highest rate of gaseous exchange in the lungs. Because of the increase in the
pressure, more oxygen goes from the lungs into the blood and more CO2 (and other waste products) pass from
the blood into the lungs for elimination during exhalation.
3. As exhalation is twice the time of inhalation, stale air and waste products are drained from the lugs.
Mental Psychic benefits
1. Anuloma Viloma helps to calm the mind, making it lucid and steady.
2. It makes the body light and the eyes shiny.

Indian Gurus and Unsafe yoga practice
Yoga - the oldest system of personal development needs no introduction nowadays. ......
However, like every other science, yoga is also a precise science. The question is: ‘Are all yoga exercises safe to
teach through the TV media and can the same exercise be taught to all people with various health conditions?’
“This is the question which requires deeper digging into the subject of yoga itself otherwise the consequences of
doing yoga practice could be more dangerous than beneficial” ......
Let us understand how.......
Similarly there are number of other yoga postures which require great precautions. As we all have different body
structures and different fitness level, conducting same exercises (apart from very few which are comparatively
safe) for 30000 people in a camp without checking their medical conditions is quite questionable...............
Also ‘Are the instructions about kapalabhati and other yoga exercises safely delivered by Gurus?’ ‘Are they
ensuring that people are following their practices safely?’ ‘Is it really safe for the beginner to learn yoga only
through the TV channels?’
“Well, it is a serious question for swami Ramdev and others who are teaching yoga to answer” said Subodh
Gupta.
Issued in public interest by Subodh Gupta, Yoga expert for all those who are beginners and are learning yoga
through TV, video cassette or DVD.

Yoga and Obesity solution
As per one report nearly 14 percent of British youngsters are clinically obese. The cost of obesity to the NHS in UK
is about £ 1 billion a year. By 2010 the number of overweight and obese youngsters in the European Union
nations is expected to hit 26 million. An estimated 20,000 obese youngsters will have type 2 diabetes as per
another report.
Obesity put strain on heart, respiratory and eliminatory system. It also increases the chances of diabetes,
hypertension and heart diseases. Generally it is seen that obese people are also lower in vitality. Obesity occurs
in mostly two types of people. In stressful people who eat very fast and in excess and secondly in household
person who eat from boredom. As the people put on weight they tend to become less happy because of their
appearance and become more frustrated. Some people think by taking insufficient food can help in reducing
weight. But when they start dieting, body starts to slow down in order to conserve energy and boost its chances
of survival. This is why weight loss tends to slow down as we continue to diet. So in a way dieting is not the good
method for reducing weight......
