Hi - I'm looking for the source of that idea...one of the samhitas? I can't find it. Anyone know? Thanks!

I've heard that associated with Islamic teachings before.

Doesn't say much in favor of Bastrika does it?

B.K.S. Iyengar mentions this briefly in the Introduction to Light on Yoga. However, he doesn't say much about it and doesn't name a source.

I tried the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, but didn't find the reference.

PEACE

I think Yogananda in his Autobiography of a Yogi mentions something to that effect also in the Kriya Yoga Chapter. Something about the less breaths the more you live, or something like that.
