Spinal flex variation

This exercise is one of my favourites. It’s short and effective and a great tune up for the lungs and bloodstream. Sit in easy pose. Hold onto your knees with your hands. Straight elbows. Focus through the third eye point. Place your tongue behind the teeth against the back of the upper teeth. Inhale completely and hold your breath. Begin flexing your spine as long as you can hold your breath. Then exhale. Repeat. Continue for 3 minutes.

Hi lovely people from the mighty Festival of France! This is the fast energy emergency set that I promised to post as soon as I came to Sweden. Well, I am back home in the north now, so here it is. The best yoga set ever. I have done it a millon times since my teacher Bhai Himat gave it ages ago. Thank’s Ji! It improves intuition and gives you a boost forward. Do it anytime you feel the lack of energy. It will bring your life force back in less then 5 minutes. So please go ahead. All you have to do is tune in and do: 1)Chair Pose 2)Frog Pose 3)Bridge Pose 4)Camel Pose. Do each posture for 1-3 minutes with breath of fire. Do 26 of Frog Pose. Keep you eyes closed and focus through the third eye point. When you do Camel Pose you should  keep your eyes wide open and focus up towards the skye. Be love, just be loved, just let go, rice above. Cheers!
