Teaching Breath of Fire

Sat nam,

I am doing Kundalini Yoga with some friends. I know how to do Breath

of Fire, but am looking for some help in teaching it to others.

Perhaps, it just takes practice. We started off slow, tying the

breath to moving the navel point. I felt like I didn't make it clear

enough.

 

I couldn't find any further instructions in the Kundalini Online

Course, if there is any, I'd appreciate somebody directing me. Nor

did I find any reference on the archives.

 

It didn't seem like my friends quite had the knack of it. Perhaps I

should just be patient and they will get it. Appreciate any tips.

Thanks.

Lately I am having students begin by panting. For some reason they seem to be

able to coordinate the breath with the proper navel motion. Then

have them transfer the breath from the mouth to the nose. Play with it.

Dear Kartar Kaur,

Yes. Took me a couple of weeks which seems about normal.

This is good to feel what you are doing and to learn to concentrate on the

exhale and let the inhale happen. THen at a certain point you just have to

get out of your head about it. After this exploration and making sure that

they are pulling the navel in on the exhale, I tell students to mimick my

sound and not to think about what they are doing and the ususally get it.

 

Also it is done from the navel center and the diaphram, which makes the

breath light and quick. If the lower belly muscles are used, the breath

becomes sluggish and the effort is counterproductive.

Your patience will help them be patient with themselves.
