As per many lineages, cyclic breathing technique is initiated by

1) Saint Yajna valkya to his wife gargi

2) Saint vasista to lord Rama
3) Saint Buddha to his cousin Nanda
4) Upon Narada maha muni's blessing, the great saint Pulaha (one among
seven sapta rishis) initiated Agni Sharma (alias loha janga) into the mantra "
Rama”. By doing this cyclic breathing practice followed by natural breath
observation, Agni Sharma a Brahmin who become a roborer because of his
poverty, become Valmiki maharshi who went on to write the great epic
"Ramayana".

Cyclic breathing is done in 3 paces in each cycle i e

Slow, medium and fast pace breathing according to the chanting of guruji.

This video contains 3 rounds of cyclic breathing for 50 minutes and along
with dharana at the end for 30 minutes.

the spine straight and do it comfortably!

Keep your palms upward in slow Breathing and keep your palms downwards
in medium and fast breathing.

While inhale - belly out

While exhale - belly in

In slow Breathing inhale as long as guruji chants

" SO"

In fast breathing…. Very short continuous exhalations while pulling your belly
in, while guruji chanting

" Sum…sum…sum…sum "

breath in between comfortably and continue.
