Practising Asana and Pranayama

A guided relaxation and pranayama session.

Lie down with hands beside the body and legs slightly apart. Close the eyes and feel the entire body from toes to head. Inhale through the nostrils and exhale through the mouth comfortably. Sit up and assume vajrāsana. Move the head back and forward with the breath. Interlace fingers behind the shoulders and move side to side. Practice Ashwini mudra with a straight spine. Perform Brahmari, ensuring the sound is centered. Conclude with chanting om from the navel.

"Inhale through the nostrils and exhale through the mouth without noise and not for too long."

"Sound should be in the middle, so that both hemispheres are equally engaged."

Myself. And children. That’s it. Hands beside the body. Legs slightly apart. Close your eyes. Feel your stomach as very comfortable, your stomach very comfortable. The food you ate has been digested. Feel your whole body from the toes to the head, and from the head to the toes. Try to take in your oxygen: inhale through both nostrils; exhale through the mouth. Exhale through the mouth... exhale through the mouth. Vydechneme ústy. Inhale and exhale comfortably. Inhale through the nostrils and exhale through the mouth without noise and not for too long. Slowly bend your knees, relax, keep your feet on the floor, and bring your knees together with your legs a little apart. The point is that you should just feel relaxed. Interlock your fingers and place your hands under your head. Just relax. I inhale, and with the mouth, I exhale. Take your hands out from under your head. Turn yourself to the left or to the right. And comfortably sit up. Assume vajrāsana. Place your hands on your thighs, comfortably. Relax. Move your head back and forward five times—six times so that it is complete. While moving the head up, inhale, and exhale as you bring it forward. Inhale, and exhale. Inhale and exhale. Inhale and exhale... Interlace your fingers behind your shoulders and move to the left side, then to the middle. Inhale, exhale to the right side; inhale, left side; exhale, middle; right side, middle, left side, and middle. Hands back on the thighs. Five times, Bārikatu Pranām. And you will give instructions. So you can stand here. Bārikatu Pranām. This video... it is really dark where you are sitting here, look. Seventeen. You can’t see yourself; it’s dark. Eighteen. Yes, not at all. You need more light, it’s dark, isn’t it? Thank you. Very good. Perfect. Now we will sit in a very nice posture. This was first, and then second. Ashwini mudra. We will put our palms on our... Lean forward a little, very little. Bring your chin toward your body. Not too long, not too quickly. Your chin should be toward your body. Your spine should be straight. That’s why we lean a little forward. Shoulders slightly up. That’s it. Now you will begin, fourteen times. Do not hold your breath for too long. Again, second round. Shoulders coming a little up. Our head goes a little bit. This key is down. The fifth time, sorry. Brahmari. Teeth just bite. And the sound should be in the middle, so that both hemispheres are equally engaged. Try to listen, hear everything. Not that sometimes it goes to the left side or right side. We have to practice. And now, five times om from the navel.
