YOGIC PRACTICES TO STRENGTHEN AGNI
If you are a yogi and feel your Agni is low, the following practices can be beneficial:
Asana (Postures)
- Core strengtheners
- Navasana (Boat Pose)
- Utkatasana (Chair Pose)
- Phalakasana (Plank Pose)
These poses “stroke” the digestive fire and strengthen abdominal muscles.
- Twists
- Ardha Matsyendrasana (Half Lord of the Fishes Pose)
- Parivrtta Trikonasana (Revolved Triangle Pose)
Twists massage the digestive organs, support detoxification and improve peristalsis.
- Backbends and warming sequences
- Dhanurasana (Bow Pose) stimulates digestive organs and metabolism.
- Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutations) increases circulation and raises internal heat, enhancing Agni.
Pranayama (Breathwork)
- Agnisara Kriya
Awakens and strengthens the fire element, removes stagnation from the gut.
- Kapalabhati (Skull Shining Breath)
Rapid exhalations help cleanse Ama and ignite digestive fire.
- Bhastrika (Bellows Breath)
Strongly heating; builds fire and improves metabolic strength.
