Before going into the water, the oxygen level in the body is increased by hyperventilating on fresh oxygen for a few minutes. After this you can comfortably spend some time underwater. By the way, many people who perform such stunts say that before such a performance, they need to check their ?metabolism? That means the metabolic process of the body has to be cultivated. That means, this should be done only after full practice. According to yoga experts, full breathing yoga kriya is actually a technique which gives mental peace to the yogi. In this kriya, the yogi is taught to divert his attention from the unrest and turmoil going on in his mind and focus on the rhythm of the breath.
