Deer means long. This pranayama is to increase the lifespan of a human being, that is to increase longevity. With this pranayama, the chest, lungs, and muscles become strong and healthy.  The body becomes agile by remaining stress-free.

There are four steps to do this pranayama done in three stages - first to control the breath, second to prolong the breath-control, third to practice inner and fourth outer Kumbha.

During this, pay attention to the stomach, chest, and muscles. It is the same as when we inhale very deeply.

Deer pranayama  Method:

First of all, lie back on the ground in a relaxed posture.  Then place the palms lightly on the stomach. The middle finger of both hands touches each other at the navel.  Then slowly exhale, leaving the stomach also loose.  Now while breathing, inflate the stomach.

Repeat this action repeatedly for 5 minutes.  While performing the action, breathing should be felt first in the chest, then in the ribs, and then in the stomach. Do this pranayama activity very comfortably.

While doing this pranayama, care should be taken on the movement of the stomach i.e. contraction, chest, and muscles. When you inhale, both of your combs come up and while exhaling goes downwards, feel the rhythm of respiration in the shoulders.
