Kapalabhati Pranayama
This Pranayama begins in a seated position, with you breathing normally 2-3 times. After this, you must inhale deeply and exhale with force, sucking your belly in as you expel all the air. When you inhale again, your belly should go back to the same position.
You should repeat this 20-30 times.
