Kriya fundamental practices?

[StarStruck]

Somebody told me to read the main thread to find out the fundamental practices to Kriya yoga but there so much fluff. I couldn’t make any from it. So what are the must do exercises every day? Pranayama spinal breathing and fire breath?

I reccomend to Learn yoga from a teacher, chances are you are not going to learn yoga from amazon books, is probably not going to work. 

(The teacher obviously must be Awake. Do not go learn from a westernised yoga teacher of your town obviously, unless you just want to do gymnastics)

these are the preparatory steps to pranayama

I agree, don't learn from Books, anything to do with Kundalini is dangerous at times, like playing russian roulette, find a True Guru (Sadhguru is mine, Sri M is good too for Kryia practices...) go thru their programs. With Sadhguru is it first learning Isha Kryia, which is a basic 12 min practice to get you in the swing of things and onto a regular consistent practice, then go on to his Inner Engineering program, it works great and the practice of Shambhavi Mahamudra is very effective. Kriya is a long practice form imo, don't look for immediate or even short term (1yr into it) results, just notice changes in your system and keep at it consistently:)
