    Kapālabhāti and Bhastrikā are two types of breathing exercises in yoga. Kapālabhāti involves forceful exhalation through the nose, while Bhastrikā adds abdominal contractions to the exhalation. Both exercises stimulate the Prāṇasthāna, located in the chest, but Bhastrikā more strongly affects the Apānasthāna in the lower abdomen due to the added abdominal contractions during exhalation.
