Agnisar Kriya

Agnisar Kriya is one of the most important forms of pranayama that can be practiced by an individual. Along with Anulom-Vilom, Kapalbhati, Bhastrika, Bhramari, Udgeet, and Bahya, it is considered with great reverence in yoga literature. This kriya and its breathing process help to regulate and balance the Manipura chakra. It functions as a great way to remove toxins from the body and enhance the immune system.
