search  Bhastrika (pronounced bah-STREE-kah),[1] a kind of
pranayama, is a breathing technique where breathing is forcible
and through the nose, with equal time for inhalation and
exhalation.[2] Bhastrika Pranayama is aimed at keeping the
inhalation cycle equal to exhalation, yet making breath deeper
and longer. Deep breath inwards and long exhalation outwords
with equal time intervals constitutes this pranayam
technique.[3]  See also[edit]     1. ^ Budilovsky, Joan;
