The following yoga techniques should be done before breakfast and need to be repeated 10 times each for better results.
Anulom-Vilom Pranayam
Sit straight, breathe normally and form the pranayam mudra with right hand. Close right nostril with right thumb and exhale slowly through the left nostril. Now inhale slowly to your maximum capacity. Close left nostril with ring and little finger and lift the thumb off the right nostril. Exhale slowly through the right nostril. Repeat with the left nostril to complete one round.
Ujjayee Pranayam
Close eyes sitting in sukhasana. Exhale fully. Now inhale with both nostrils and contract your neck muscles to produe a continuous sobbing sound-low but uniformly pitched without any breaks. Inhale to your lungs, maximum capacity. You should feel slight vibration in your chest and head areas. Try holding your breath as long as possible. Now form the pranayam mudra with right hand and close right nostril with right thumb and exhale slowly through the left nostril. This comletes one round.
Bhramari Pranayam
Sit straight eyes closed in either sukhasana or padmasana and breathe normally. Close both your ears with your thumbs. Keep your index fingers on your forehead near the agya chakra and the remaining three fingers on your eyes. Exhale completely, then inhale slowly, hum like a bee. Focus your attention on this sound.
Deep breathing & Dhyan
Form gyan mudra with hands on the knees, palms upwards. Close eyes and focus on your breathing. Inhale to your lungs maximum capacity and exhale.
Shavasana
Lie on your back with legs straight and apart by about a foot. Keep arms on the floor, slightly away from your torso, palms facing upwards. Make sure there is no tension in the body. Close eyes and focus attention on breathing in a rhythmic pattern.
