Bhastrika is a highly active, energy rousing technique that tones the absomen and helps you to activate your respiratory musuclature. The forceful rhythmic pumping of the breath churns the belly and stirs up the dormant, sluggish energy within muladhara, the root support chakra at the base. Kundalini shakti, the coiled pranic energy within muladhara, is awakened and summoned to enter the middle channel.
