Agni Sara is one of the Shat Kriyas, the six classical kriyas of Hatha yoga. It is the counteraction to Uddiyana Bandha Kriya, or Nauli. Agni means fire, and in the yoga tradition this practice stokes the digestive fire.
The belly expands on an exhale, with the breath held out, giving space to the organs of the abdomen. Traditionally it is used to support digestion.
Contraindication: do not practise Agni Sara if you are pregnant or on your menstrual cycle.
