Method: Sit in Sukhasan and place your left hand on your left knee with your palm facing up.
Close your eyes for a moment.
With the index finger of your right hand, close your left nostril and inhale from your right nostril until your lungs are full. (Inhale forcefully enough to produce a racket while the air rushes in.)
Keep the air in for as long as you can and do the ‘Jalandharbandh' [Neck Lock] (press your head on your throat and face straight down) as long as you can.
Close your right nostril with your right thumb, unlock your jaw, and exhale from your left nostril with enough intensity that your exhalation makes a whistle.
