Kapalbhati is traditionally considered a Kriya rather than a Pranayama. Explanation: Kriya: In the context of yoga, a kriya refers to a cleansing technique aimed at purifying the body and mind. Kapalbhati specifically translates to “shining skull,” highlighting its cleansing nature as it helps detoxify the frontal brain region and respiratory system. Pranayama: Pranayama refers to practices that regulate the breath to control the flow of prana (vital energy). Although Kapalbhati involves breathwork, its primary focus is on the forceful exhalation (with passive inhalation), making it more aligned with a cleansing technique than a breath-regulating exercise. In summary, Kapalbhati is classified as a Shatkarma Kriya (one of the six cleansing techniques in Hatha Yoga), though many modern practitioners also consider it a form of Pranayama due to its breathing elements. read less

Primarily, Kapalbhati is a Kriya (cleansing technique). Secondarily, it is often practiced as a Pranayama due to its effects on the breath and energy.

Certified and 3+ years Experienced yoga instructor and Face yoga coach.

Kapalbhati is both a kriya (because it is cleansing technique that helps to detoxify the body, mainly the respiratory system), and a Pranayam(because it involes a specific breathing technique with rapid & forceful exhalations).
