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."
