  3. Kapalbhati Pranayama When it comes to Kapalbhati Pranayama, it is called the Sanjeevani of life. After practicing this, you hardly need to do any other asana.

Sheetali pranayama should be done after such asanas and pranayama, which increase heat in the body. After doing these asanas and pranayama, one should do Sheetali pranayama which will help in balancing the body temperature. This pranayama is like a shady tree that produces plenty of oxygen. Apart from this, it provides peace of mind and physical coolness. This is the best pranayama to be done in the summer season. After doing Sheetli Pranayama, you should do Shavasana. To do this Pranayama, take out your tongue as far as possible without tension, according to your capacity. Now fold the sides of the tongue and make it like a pipe shape. Breathe in through this tube and fill the stomach. After filling the breath in the stomach, take the tongue inside the mouth and close the mouth. Now exhale slowly through the nose.
