Kaki Mudra is a yogic gesture that involves nasikagara drishti focusing on the nose tip without the eyes blinking and pursing the lips, which form beaks during inhalation, and exhaling slowly through the nose. However, there is a lack of evidence on the impact of kaki mudra on cardiovascular changes and autonomic function using pupillary light reflex (PLR).
