Portuguese term or phrase: O Sopro "HA"
This term is taken from a paper on Yoga, it is a term used for a sort of positive energy breathing exercise.
Can anyone advise if there is an English term to describe this exercise?


O Sopro "HA"

É exercício respiratório de finalidade específica. Seu nome não se refere, como poderia parecer, à corrente energética positiva (HA) e sim à maneira de expirar

Attention-Breath-Body (or in the sanskrit "HA-THA.") "HA" is the exhale, giving of breath, masculine polarity, or Sun. "THA" is the inhale, receiving breath, feminine polarity, or Moon.
