KUNDALINI AWAKENING YOGA SEQUENCE

The following sequence is designed to stimulate the glandular system, invigorate internal organs, strengthen the immune system and increase stamina.  Through the use of relatively vigorous exercise cardio-vascular efficiency is improved, and very importantly the energy of `kundalini` is awakened to flow through the body, particularly from the base to the top of the spine.

Repeat each exercise 8 times with the sound of `HA` at each exhalation.

1          Stand comfortably swing the arms over the head to clap the palms – HA

2          Keeping the legs fairly straight but relaxed, bend forward to clap the palms on the ground – HA – Return to standing

3          Stand (or sit) arms on shoulder level.  Pump the left arm up and down through an angle of 30degrees. Breath in on upward swing, out on down – HA

4          Stand arms forward at shoulder height, feet shoulder width apart. Simultaneously jump right foot over left, and left arm over right – HA – jump return.  Repeat alternating right and left sides.

5          Stand in simple archer pose, right leg forwards, right arm over leg, left arm back and bent pulling back bow string.  Keep body upright, lunge forward bending right leg – HA – Return.

            Repeat 8 times left leg forward etc.

6          Repeat exercise number 4

7          Stand feet about shoulder width apart, arms overhead by the ears, hands not clasped.  Bend back, return – HA

8          Repeat ex.4

9          Stand feet leg length apart, arms at shoulder height.  Bend 4 times to right – HA - Return.  Repeat 4 times to left.

10        Repeat ex. 4

This sequence can be repeated up to 5 or 6 times, or used as a warmup/ preparation for more traditional held yoga poses.
