Practicing from Strilky
A guided practice for relaxation and movement through precise physical alignment and breath.
Lie down comfortably. Stabilize the lower back on the mat. Place arms beside the body with palms facing upward. Make the neck long. Keep legs together. Breathe with long, full yoga breaths. Movement must be synchronized and without personal initiative. Only move arms when instructed. Do not arch the lower back. Practice involves raising and lowering arms and legs with the breath. The core practice consists of mantra, bhajan, and sitting. Close the eyes and follow the count together. Do not use your own mind.
"Be guru-mukhī and not man-mukhī."
"Only mantra, bhajan, and sitting—only these three points we have to practice very nicely."
