Morning practice from Strilky

A yoga practice requires precise, unified execution of postures with mindful breathing. Begin standing with hands crossed above the head, moving slowly together. Place hands in front with palms up; inhale to bring fingers to shoulders, then exhale while moving forward, coordinating breath and movement. Sit in Vajrāsana, then practice Bhavanamukta Āsana by drawing one knee to the chest, aiming to touch the forehead to the knee for four counts before relaxing the leg. Perform Marjari with coordinated movement and breath. Conclude with relaxation.

"Our hands should go exactly together."

"With an inhale, the right knee comes to the chest."
