Kapalabhati:
Hold the body is straight. Breath with a firm belly. After a relaxed breathing out pull in the navel with a fast movement, thus breathing out a little more, let then the navel go back to the original position. In the beginning the breathing in, by letting the navel go back, is twice as long as the breathing out, but when you know how to do the exercise you can do it as fast as you can.
Reversed Kapalabhati:
Hold the body is straight. Breath with a firm belly. After a relaxed breathing in, breath in with an extra shot, with the diaphragm going down, as like pumping a bicycle tire.
Bhastrika:
This is a combination of the kapalabhati and the reversed kapalabhati: Hold the body is straight. Breath with a firm belly. The breathing goes as in four fases:
1. breath out relaxed,
2. pull the navel in fast
3. breath out relaxed,
4. Breath in with an extra shot and continue with 1.
Bhastrika as in complete breath of fire:
This is a combination of the kapalabhati and the reversed kapalabhati: This time you only use the diaphragm, because the belly is pulled in already, so the fases 1 and 2 go together and the fases 3 and 4 go together:
# extra shot breathing out: the diaphragm goes up
# extra shot breathing in: the diaphragm goes down, and continue with 1.
