Move towards revitalization by focusing on large movements and deepening your breath in this sequence of standing postures. Kapalabati breath prepares you for sun salutations, twists and balancing forward folds. Strengthen your lower back and core muscles with upward facing plank and abdominal activating techniques in boat pose. Move into deep, seated twists and explore more forward bending. The practice becomes fully integrated with alternate nostril breathing and meditation at your navel center.

Jalandhara bandha (the chin lock) provides invaluable guidance to optimize postural alignment, and is also a vital tool to help you still your mind and steady prana (life force). This practice builds through three progressive stages of ujjayi, culminating in both retention and suspension of the breath. Each stage takes you into a deeper application of jalandhara bandha and into the ultimate experience of being deeply centered and clear. Props Suggested: A blanket or a bolster.
