and place the hands on the floor for balance. Arch the head back and hold
the position, breathing slowly and deeply for 1 minute. Then do Breath of
Fire for 2 minutes.
-
Lunge
Stretch Rest. From position
one, bring the right knee down to the floor and bend the torso to rest
over the thigh. Place the forehead on the floor, stretch the left leg all
the way back and rest the arms by the sides, palms up. Breathe slowly and
deeply for 3 minutes.

Repeat
Exercises 1 and 2 with the opposite leg.
-
Front Bend.
Stand up with the feet about two feet apart. Bend over and touch the
fingertips or the palms on the floor. Do Long Deep Breathing for 3
minutes. (Great for relaxing the upper back, neck and shoulders. It
brings extra circulation into the head.)
-
Ego
Eradicator. Stand up again and
stretch the arms overhead at a thirty degree angle, thumbs pointing up,
fingers on the palms. Keep your elbows straight as you breathe long and
deep for 3 minutes.
-
Triangle
Pose. Bend from the waist and
place the hands on the floor. Feet are about shoulder-width apart. Hands
are narrower than shoulder-width apart. Have the thumb tips touching if
possible. Elbows and knees are straight and the head is in line with the
upper arms. Tilt the pelvis forward and push down through the shoulders.
Hold for 3 minutes. (Energizes the life nerve (sciatic nerve) and navel
center. It builds nervous system strength.)
-
Cobra Pose.
Come down and relax on the stomach for 1 minute. Then, bring the heels
together, palms flat on the floor under the shoulders and push up into
Cobra Pose. Stretch the head and neck back and do Long Deep Breathing for
1 minute. Then turn the head from side to side, inhaling to the left,
exhaling to the right. Continue for 2 minutes. Inhale, exhale and pull
Mulbandh three times.
-
Rock Pose.
Spread the knees far apart. Bring the forehead to the floor with the
palms flat on the ground in front of the knees. Inhale and rise up on the
knees, stretching the arms up and out like a flower greeting the sun.
Exhale and come down bringing the forehead to the floor. Continue for 3
minutes.
-
Yoga Mudra.
Sit on the heels again with the knees together and the fingers interlace
at the base of the spine. Bring the forehead to the ground and lift the
arms straight up as far as possible and hold the position for 3 minutes
with Long Deep Breathing. (Relieves tension in the upper back and
shoulders and clears lymphatic system. It brings extra circulation to the
head and neck.)
