Inhale in 4 parts as you bend forward, raising your arms up as high as possible. Exhale in one breath as you return upright. Continue rhythmically coordinating the movement with the breath for 2 minutes. This exercise gives endurance and grit.

6. Stand up with the hands locked behind you in Venus Lock as before. Lower yourself down as though you were sitting in a chair of standard height and stay there. Inhale in 4 counts and bend forward raising your arms up behind you. Exhale in one breath and return to the original upright sitting position. Continue rhythmically coordinating the movement with the breath for 2 minutes. This exercise works on the knees.

7. Sit down with the left leg stretched
out straight in front of you. Place the sole of the right foot
firmly against the inside of the left thigh so that the heel creates a
closure in front of the genital area. Reach forward and catch the left
toe or foot whichever is more comfortable. Pull the neck back and bend
forward as you exhale. Inhale and come up. Continue with powerful breathing
for 3 minutes. This exercise is for the spine. The closure or ''gate''
which the heel creates in front of the genital area allows the body fo
remove its toxins and heel itself. |

8. Sit in Easy Pose. Fold the arms right over left, hands grasping the biceps. Rock forward slightly and bounce up and down on the buttocks like a Mexican jumping bean. Jump hard and breathe powerfully. Continue rhythmically for 4 minutes. This exercise works on breaking up deposits and unwanted
fats in the body. lt stimulates the circulation and builds strength in
the spine to resist enjury in case of trauma. |

This exercise works on cleansing the mind.
