I’m a teacher and I see lots of my students doing a forceful bhastrika (breathing exercise taught in Art Of Living programs), as it seems to give them a kick. Is it okay?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: No, it should not be forceful. I always say take the middle path. Don’t do it very slowly or gently but don’t use too much force also.
