Question
How many people do Agnisara and Ashwini mudra and 2:1 breathing? And its benefits?
Answers
Rajah Indran, Lalita Arya (Ammaji), and Carolyn Hume have answered this question.
Rajah Indran
Practicing this has helped me to enjoy a reasonably good health.
Lalita Arya (Ammaji)
Agnisara practice is well explained by Swami Rama in his book Path of Fire and Light Volume 2. As he tells it, agnisara is not the stomach lift, as most people think and do, but the lower abdomen lift.
Ashwini mudra is the anal lock – a simple practice – and also fully explained in his Science of Breath.
How many people practice these will be difficult to tell. And what people practice should not be our concern. Rather we should try to find a good Master/Teacher of Meditation & Yoga to guide us and concentrate on our own discipline in practice of Yoga asanas.
I compliment students for being curious and wish all the best in their pursuits.
