Precautions
1) People suffering from high blood pressure or any chronic heart
disease should avoid this pranayama or must be done under an experienced
yoga teacher.
2) While breathing in, the abdominal area should not blow up. You
have to fill the air in the chest area, i.e. up to diaphragm, so that the part
of the chest with the ribs swells.
3) In summer season, reduce the practice of Bhastrika to 2-minutes
maximum.
4) In case both the nostrils do not open because of ailments like severe
cough or sinus etc, the practitioner should first close the right nostril and
do respiration (exhalation and inhalation) through the left nostril. Then
the left nostril should be closed and respiration should be done by the
right nostril. This method of alternate breathing should be continued at
the desired speed viz. slow, moderate or fast, till both the nostrils open
simultaneously.
