Sitali Pranayam:
Sit in a comfortable position with your spine erect. Apply the mudra for the liver: Bend your middle finger down, touch the tip of your thumb to the tip of your ring finger. Extend index and your little finger. Rest your hands on your knees.
Inhale through your curled tongue, as if you are sipping air through a straw. Hold the breath as long as comfortable and then slowly exhale through the nose. Continue for 3-11 minutes.
