Kapalbhati<\/strong> is a Pranayama, which is held in high regard in the yogic realm. And why not? It has so many benefits for the human body. Amazingly, it is also a cleansing procedure in yoga. As the name suggests, it is a skull shining exercise, which has a number of benefits. So, let us start from the basics of this practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
