Panting Dog Breath of Fire

Cleanse and Detox Your Body with Powerful Yoga



"a. Instructions for practicing Detoxifying Panting Dog Breath of Fire:


Yes the pose is called Panting Dog Breath of Fire!

As illustrated above, sit up on your heels in Rock pose, except lean forward slightly. Rest your hands on your knees as shown.

Now open your mouth wide and stick your tongue out as far as it will go. Now begin to pant like a dog. Remember what I said above and don’t hold back. You are a Kundalini Yogi, just stick your tongue out and pant like a dog. All the breathing should be taking place through the mouth.

Emphasize the exhalation, and with every exhalation your stomach should be contacting in towards your spine sharply (similar to Kapalbhati Yoga Pranayama in this way). The pace should be fast, just like a tired dog panting.

If you feel a metallic taste emerging on the back of your tongue, this is toxic heavy metals being release and cleansed from deep within your tissue, keep going!

b. Duration for Detoxifying Panting Dog Breath of Fire:

1 - 5 minutes. If 1 minute is too much you can start with 15 seconds and build up from there as well.

c. Benefits of Detoxifying Panting Dog Breath of Fire:

Detoxifies and cleanses your system of garbage, toxins and heavy metals.

Strengthens and tones your abdominal muscles.

Builds your respiratory capacity.
Promotes good health and longevity.


d. Practice Tips for Detoxifying Panting Dog Breath of Fire:

Like I mentioned above, you can add this exercise to the end of any Kundalini Yoga Kriya. It helps your system purge itself of any toxins that have been released into the blood stream as a result of the Kriya.

After doing this cleansing exercise, I also recommend drinking plenty of water once your yoga session is completed, to further help wash out any released toxins.
Given the amount of pollution in our air and water, we can’t afford not to incorporate Panting Dog Breath of Fire into our routine from time to time. It really will help cleanse and detoxify your entire system."
