This clip is from a SOMA Breath video by Niraj Naik demonstrating Bhastrika (Breath of Fire). He explains the technique as rapid, forceful breathing done in repeated reps (20–40), describes physiological effects—heat generation, lightheadedness from CO2 loss, increased blood oxygen saturation, and blood pH changes—and frames it as producing inner energy.

Breath of fire is basically Bhastrika. It creates an inner fire. We're breathing in a lot of oxygen. You're forcing your body to produce energy. That's why actually you can feel a lot of heat generating through Basrika. The fast way of doing it is like this. Imagine you're pulling energy from the sky like this.
You do that for 20, 30, 40 reps like that, and you're going to start feeling kind of fuzzy and light headed because you're breathing out all the carbon dioxide and you're saturating your bloodstream of oxygen. But because you're breathing out the carbon dioxide, the oxygen stays in your bloodstream, bound to the red blood cells. What's also happening is you're changing the PH of your blood.
