Practising pranayama with Vishwaguruji
Morning practice integrates posture, breath, and environmental purity.
A straight spine with knees grounded relaxes the lungs and stomach, aiding digestion. Slouching forces the stomach outward, creating problems. Periodically stretch when working. Sit with hands on knees, shoulders back, and spine slightly forward to allow easy breath. Inhale with the chin lowered, then exhale through the mouth. Practice this movement repeatedly, feeling the lungs and breath. Conclude by sitting straight, focusing on the breath throughout the body.
"Shoulders strong, up, chin down."
"Feel the breath in the whole body."
