Pranayama On Full Or Empty Stomach?


(Neha)

Can any pranayama be done on full stomach? Minimum how much time gap should be there between eating something & doing a pranayam..


Neha

Answer
1. Ideal time to do pranayama is early morning on empty stomach. It is preferable to clear your bowels before doing pranayama. You can drink a glass of water or lime juice 15 minutes before doing pranayama. Although it is not advisable, if you are habituated to drink bed tea, drink half a cup.

2. The logic of empty stomach means that when you are doing pranayama your intestines must be clear of waste products and all food stuff you have eaten must be digested by the time you do pranayama. In case process of digestion is on, body's energy will be diverted for digestion process whereas while doing yoga, pranayama all energy must be concentrated towards asanas or pranayama.

3. Generally consider doing pranayama 3 to 4 hours after a meal, 45 minutes after tea, juice or fresh fruits, 15 minutes after drinking water.

4. Eat only sattvik yogic food as it is easy to digest, does not load the digestive system.

by: Anonymous

I am 35 years old female diagnosed by uterine fibroids since last 2 years with one large about 10 cm and few small 6-3 cm. Doctors adviced to do operation but I am taking time to fix this health condition by pranayam to some extent. I heard the more time we do kapalabhati and anulom vilom the faster we get the results. Like 1 hour continuous kapalbhati followed by double hours of anulom vilom. Is it ok to do so? Kindly suggest.

Doing pranayama for such long period should be under guidance of a yoga teacher. Also, duration of pranayama should be increased gradually.

starstarstarstarstar 		Am I doing right?
by: Srinivas

Dear Sir,

My age is 34 yrs and I am a male at 66 kilo and 5.5 feet height. Recently I did complete health check up. My cholesterol, Thyroid, Liver, Kidney, Echo Cardiogram and abdominal USG are all normal. But I have fasting sugar of 103 (checked in November 2016). In the month of September, doctor said my blood pressure is around 150/100 and I need to take medicines. But, I am not using medicines and started exercises, lifestyle changes with good diet. From November on wards I am doing brisk walking for 30 mins and coming home and after 5mins doing Pranayama with following order.
Bhastrika (slow deep breating for 5mins)
Kaphalbhati (200 counts with breaks in between)
Anulom Vilom (15 to 20 cycles)
Bhramari (around 10 counts)
Udgeet (10 to 15 counts)
This takes me around 30 to 40 mins. After that I do Shavasana for 3 mins.
Recently when I checked my blood pressure it is 140/90 (in 15 Jan 2017) and doctor said no medicine is required. But I guess, it should be even lower? or as I am not doing pranayama correctly or time and cycles should be increased? Please suggest sir. Except Bhramari and Udgeet I am unable to do more repetitions for other pranayama? like after doing deep breathing for 5mins, I am feeling uneasy to continue (feeling little dizziness). So, I am doing small exercises in between and continuing the next. Please give you valuable comments on this?

Editors Note
Hello Srinivas

You need to consult a yoga teacher and check your technique for pranayama. Feeling dizziness after doing deep breathing indicates there is some thing wrong with your health or breathing technique. Stop doing bhastrika and kapalabhati and see if it helps. Please do provide your feedback. You may provide additional details and contact me if we can help you.

by: Ved

Hello,

Since few days I have started reading while doing Kapalbhati and now I can do 20 mins at a stretch without getting tired. Is it fine to read while doing kapalbhati?

Editors Note
Yoga breathing is not a mechanical process. It demands focus on what you are doing with complete awareness.

I suggest your yoga practice to include few yoga poses. After that sit in any meditative post, close your eyes and do rhythmic breathing for 5 minutes. Gradually increase the duration of rhythmic breathing. Once you are able to focus for longer duration, you can try doing kapalabhati.
