breath of fire

Flame from lungs

Breath of fire is a rapid, rhythmic breathing technique used in yoga and meditation, involving forceful exhales through the nose while the inhales happen passively.

The diaphragm pumps quickly, creating a bellows-like effect.

Practitioners use it to energize the body and clear the mind.

The phrase also names a long-running video game series featuring dragons and transformation.
