KUNDALINI YOGA SET FOR EVERYDAY HEALTH AND FITNESS

1. 4 Part Deep Breathing Exercise:

Along with the yoga sets and poses collections indicated above, the website also hosts the Free Online Yoga Breathing Exercises Collection.  From that collection one of the best exercises to get you energy going is the 4 Part Deep Breathing exercise.

How to Do 4 Part Deep Breathing Exercise:

  • To do this exercise, sit up straight to ensure that the spine is erect.  
  • Then inhale in 4 parts.  This means to break up 1 inhalation into 4 parts, such that by the fourth sniff you have completely filled your lungs to capacity. 
  • After inhalation, exhale in 4 parts, such that by the fourth sniff you have emptied your lungs.
  • Now start to breathe in again in 4 parts and repeat the cycle
  • Start with 1 minute and work your way up to 3 minutes or more.  Take breaks as you need.

2. Archer Pose for Power and Confidence:

Next come into Archer Pose.  This pose is a great exercise for building confidence and energy.  In addition, it helps strengthen your legs and opens up your energy pathways.  Do this exercise with full focus and concentration.

Start with facing to the left and hold for 1-3 minutes and then switch and face the other way for an equal amount of time.  

Do the pose with Breath of Fire or with Long Deep Breathing.

3. Forward Bending Yoga Pose:

Next come into one of the best yoga poses for healing and longevity, Back Stretching Pose, also called the Forwarding Bending Pose.

For this pose, make sure you stretch gently at first and only accent the stretch after you feel yourself warming up a little.

Hold for 1-3 minutes doing either Long Deep Breathing or the Breath of Fire.

4. Camel Pose for Optimal Health:

Camel pose in and of itself is great for maintaining good health as it has a long list of wonderful benefits, so it is only logical that such a useful pose would be part of a daily maintenance set.

For those who are new to yoga, don't feel intimidated by this pose, as it has some very good modifications that are very suitable for beginner's to do.  You can find those modified versions on the website.

Hold this pose for 1-3 minutes doing either Breath of Fire or Long Deep Breathing.

5. Stretch Pose for Core Abdominal Power:

No Kundailni Yoga set is complete without have an exercise for the abs and core, and the most basic pose for working on this critical region is the famous Stretch Pose.

Do this pose daily and you will enjoy the great benefits of energy, willpower and good digestion that this pose bestows.  

Stretch Pose is typically done with Breath of Fire, so try to develop that combination.

Try to build up your time to 3 minutes.  In the beginning you can take frequent breaks while doing the pose, or use the single leg modification until your abs get strong enough.

6. Bow Pose for Eternal Health:

Perhaps one of the most famous yoga poses is Bow Pose.  This is another superb pose and certainly one that is excellent to do on a daily basis.

Once you get proficient with the basic version of Bow Pose, try the advanced version where you rock back and forth on your stomach.  

For this pose, you can start with doing just 15 seconds and building up from there.  Doing this pose with just normal breathing is fine.

7. Shoulder Stand for Brain Fitness:

If we are creating a set for daily practice, it only makes sense that it would have an inversion and a pose which is good for brain health.  This pose is Shoulder Stand.

Only do this pose for a maximum of 5 minutes a day and also be careful of your neck when practicing it.  

While holding the pose just do normal breathing.

8. Meditation of Your Choice:

Try to practice your meditation for at least 5 minutes and build up to 20 minutes over time.

Life Transforming Programs 

Although the primary goal of the Yoga and Meditation Certification Programs is to train instructors and give them the knowledge and skills to become successful teachers, one of the additional benefits is the enormous change it brings to the lives of those who participate.

I have shared some such feedback in the following article (Meditation Teacher's Training Program Reviews and Testimonials), and below I would like to share some more feedback I just received from another graduating student.  The reason for sharing this is to give you a glimpse into the profound power of yoga and meditation and to inspire you with your own practice.

Below is what a recent student, Sandra Becker, had to say about the Meditation Certification Program:

If you too are interested in becoming more peaceful, more joyous, healthier, kinder and wiser, I invite you to explore the programs below and see if they are right for you.

Sandra Writes: 

What can I say? It works. It really works.  I am totally a different person. I have learned to be calm, to accept, to let go, to care... it is just incredible because I didn´t really think it was going to help but wanted to give it a shot.  It is my life now.  I will not change this anymore, only practice, practice and live meditation daily. This light is what I want to pass on to all others on my path of life.

THANK YOU!
