We are bringing our yoga back into daily life, and we wish to see again how to obtain the exercises so that we have the very best ones and practice them exactly. These are the best exercises, and we must exercise precisely according to them. Today’s session will unfold as follows. Everyone, become clear, and we will begin the yoga exercise. We will follow the sequence from the book, but we cannot do the part that requires lying down because there is not enough space for everyone. That will be covered in the next lecture. Hands up and cross them above your head. Yes, but that is not quite right. We all need to do it together. Very good, you are doing very well. Still, we will begin all together, slowly. Do not fall down. Let it come slowly, and down. One. Since many of us are here, the exercises will be a little different, in a different order. Now, bring your foot up—yes, like that. Look there, yes, this one. So please place your straight hands in front of the body, palms facing up. With an inhale, bring the fingers to the shoulders, elbows facing forward. Slowly. Stay with the fingers on your shoulders. Everyone, please focus. Do not talk. Look at one another if needed, according to the hymn. We do not want to rush. We will guide you up. Together, all together, our hands should move exactly together. Exhale as you extend the arms to the front. Slowly exhale, coming forward. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale bringing hands to shoulders, exhale extending forward. Inhale. Exhale. Once more: inhale slowly, not so quickly. And back again. Once more back, and come down. Thank you. Now sit down in Vajrāsana. For Vajrāsana, half the group looks this side and half looks from the other side, one by one. Now straighten your legs. Yes, now with one leg at a time, slowly. Good. Now we are going to practice Bhāvan Muktā Āsana while sitting with straight legs in front. Make your back straight and relax your shoulders. We will start with the right leg. With an inhale, bring the right knee to the chest. Exhale. Now bring your forehead toward the knee. Yes, look, good, up a little, up—that is it. Hold the knee with your hands, not underneath but above the knee, grasping it. Then lower your head and try to touch your forehead to the knee. Stay in this position for only four breaths, then inhale and slowly relax your body. Exhale as you relax the right leg. Left leg, let it relax. Good. Now, with your knees down, bring your tailbone towards your heels. Now hold the knee up. Yes, first hold your knee. And again. Straighten the right leg and relax it on the ground. Same with the left leg: hold under the knee. Exhale, one. Two, straighten and relax. Right leg, exhale. If you cannot do it fully because of the stomach, that is different; do as much as you can. Levá strana. Výdech. Pravá noha. Slowly straighten, one, two, relax. With both legs straight and hands on your legs, now with both legs straight. Take the right leg and place it on the thigh. Hold the toes of your right leg, as described in the book. Okay, left leg. Then both legs together. No, straight down. Again, right leg, practice. Left leg again straight. Relax your left leg. Both hands back, and relax. Now, can you take both legs, right and left? Yes, like this, not like that. If you can, please do; not everyone can. Extend your legs out. Yes, like this. Come back to Vajrāsana. We are going to practice Marjari. One. Jedna. Two. Dva. Exhale. Výdech. Come up, and down. Very nice. It was very beautiful. Here, can we do our bārikhāṭu, Mahāprabhujī? Can we do it? Okay, thank you. Thank you. So, with mantra, like this. And those who cannot because of poor bodily health, please sit on the side. Just sit. So begin. One, two, three, you meet him, stand and say, four. You should count: four, we are now in the fourth position, five. Seven, eight, eight, nine, nine, ten, eleven, eleven, twelve, twelve, thirteen, thirteen, fourteen, fourteen, fifteen, fifteen, sixteen, sixteen, seventeen, seventeen, eighteen, eighteen, nineteen. Twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six, and twenty-seven. Very good. Lie down. However, you can see the place, this or this, and that, okay.
