Agnisar Kriya is considered as an important step in the package of 7 pranayama after Anulom-Vilom, Bhastrika, Kapalbhati, Bahya, Bhramari and Udgeet that have been introduced by Swami Ramdev Maharaj. Agnisar Kriya is carried out as a part of breathing practices that regulate the Manipura chakra near your belly.
The name ‘Agnisar’ is derived from two Sanskrit words: Agni meaning “fire” and Sar meaning “to flush”. So the following pranayam implies purification of the fire chakra located near the naval region which flushes out the toxins and purifies the Manipura chakra. Similar to other pranayamas, Agnisar Kriya also helps in combating a number of diseases and maintains a healthy body with strong immune system.
Agnisar Kriya mainly affects the belly region and regulates the fire element in the body around the stomach and thus improves the process of digestion and relieves problems related to the stomach.
