So.
.
.
Notice that activation.
Of your belly.
So the Kriya sets are very particular.
There's a very particular order that we do these exercises,
Very particular timing.
Right,
So they promise very specific results.
So just stay with it,
If you notice your mind changes.
Gets triggered,
Maybe you get provoked.
Distracted or bored just become aware of that and see if you can stay here with a movement if you can stay with the breath.
Doing great and as always if you do need take a break please honor that and take a break Keep connecting to the rhythm of your breath.
For all of us it's going to be very unique.

That's okay too.
So just really meeting yourself where you are.
And doing your best through this practice.

We just got 30 more seconds here.
Beautiful,
And inhale reach your both legs up to the sky to 90 degree angle Press your hands into the ground and hold the breath.

Eyes closed.
Squeeze.
And as you exhale,
Slowly lower your legs all the way down to the ground.
Take your hands down by the hips,
Palms facing up.
Close your eyes.
And just feel that enlivening.
Enlivening energy at the navel.
Maybe your solar plexus as if there is a radiant sun.
That shine brightly.
Removing all this conscious or subconscious blocks.
Unhelpful patterns.
Fears.
Just allow yourself to feel into your experience.
Wonderful.
Deep inhale all the way down into your belly.
Full axial.
Great!
Now bend your right knee and stretch your left arm over your head.
And lift your left leg off the ground,
Just a couple of inches.
And we're going to switch,
Like crisscrossing here.
Then stretch your right leg and bend your left knee.
Reach your right arm up over the head,
Left hand down.
OK,
So powerful inhale and exhale.
Couple minutes here as well.
As you bend your right knee,
Left arm goes out and switching.
Again keep pressing the lower back down into the ground.
And if you have any lower back sensitivities,
Just be very mindful here.
Take as many breaks as you need to.
In a very mindful way,
Moving your legs and your arms.
It's really wonderful for balancing your brain as well here.
It might take a moment for you to start coordinating the legs and the arms.
Just do your best here.
Focus on your breath.
Close your eyes.
Focus at your navel.
And visualize yourself really that radiant sun at the navel.
That really.
.
.
The light of the sun removes.
What in yoga called impurities.
At all those doubts and fears.
Unhelpful stories.
So all really got dissolved.
Once we activate that inner fire at the navel.
Good,
Yeah?
Still a couple more here?
Beautiful.
And bring your both hands down,
Stretch your legs,
Lift them about 60 degree angle,
Press your lower back down,
Hold.
And exhale,
Release your legs down.
Palms facing up.
Breathe deeply,
Please.
And just notice that almost blissful state once we apply ourselves fully.
In these pauses in between exercises,
We're able to integrate and drop into that perhaps more calmer or spacious.
Really enjoy it.
Allowing all the worries.
All the anxious thoughts to dissolve Just sensing into your inner light.
Into your inner power to create that shift.
Deep breath in.
And full breath out.
And then hug your knees to the chest.
And just gently rock forward and back a couple times.
Distribute the energy.
And then rock forward.
And make your way into downward facing dog.
So before you come into downward facing dog,
We're going to do it a little bit different.
So your thumbs and your fingers gonna come together like so.
And.
Elbow straight and we're gonna come in this variation of downward facing dog now if that feels too strenuous on your shoulders You just come into regular downward facing dog and we stay here for two powerful minutes with a long deep breath.
So thumbs together.
And index fingers together,
The rest of the fingers spread out wide.
You can keep a micro band in your knees,
Chin slightly in.
And really press through the knuckles of your fingers Close your eyes.
And long,
Deep breath here.
Long,
Deep breath.
With each exhalation allowing the chest to simply melt down towards the ground.
Breathing all the way down into your belly.
Just keeping your focus,
Your awareness at the navel point.
Where's that gut brain?
The science now has evidence and proves that.
There is a direct connection between our guts and our brain.
As there's a nerve called the vagus nerve.
That connects to our God into our brain.
So once we stimulate our belly.
Activating that inner fire we also stimulate that vagus nerve that is sometimes called the nerve of happiness.
Long deep breaths.
Just see if you can focus on your breath.
Rather than on the sensations of your arms,
Sensations in your body.
Good,
Just a little bit more Finding this resource within your breath.
Allowing it to be the anchor for your mind.
Do I just last 20 seconds here?
Last 20 seconds.
I'm going to take a deep inhale.
Suspend the breath.
Gentle lift in the pelvic floor.
And as you exhale,
Lower your knees to the ground.
And come lying down into your belly.
Hands down by the hips,
Maybe one ear to the ground Eyes closed and just relax deeply here.
Let go,
Let go of this effort.
And drop into the state of deep relaxation and integration.
So we're really practicing to putting in effort,
Right?
We really need to apply ourselves.
In the practice and then we let go completely.
So that energy moves through the body in a way it needs to move Move through the obstacles.
Purify.
And turn your cheek to the other side.
Just be absolutely still,
Simply observe your experience.
Observe your breath,
The pulsation of your energy.
Good.
Deep breath in.
And full breath out.
Very nice.
And now bring your chin to the mat.
Take your hands underneath your shoulders.
We're going to come into cobra pose.
So separate your feet about hip width distance.
If you have lower back sensitivity,
Maybe even a little wider.
Press through the top of your feet,
Push the hips down,
Hug the elbows in,
And come into Cobra.
In the variation of the cobra that you can stay here for a couple minutes with a long deep breath.
It simply can be Baby Cobra,
That's totally fine.
Maybe straighten your arms a little more.
Just make sure there's no sensation in your lower back.
Eyes closed and long deep breaths.
Breathing into your heart all that vital energy that we activated at the navel.
We direct to our heart center in this pose.
Long,
Deep breaths.
So really,
When we work with our navel,
It's the place of digestion.
Not only on our physical level.
But also how we digest the experiences.
In life.
Do we tend to hold on to something?
Do we 10.
2 Think about the past.
Not letting go of the past.
Or be anxious about the future.
Where it's all that really is there,
Digestion of the life experiences.
The place of.
Transformation and Transmutation meaning that we go beyond.
Those challenges.
Would transform the challenges into blessings.
Good.
Long deep breaths,
Allowing the energy to flow into your heart.
Spacious,
Open,
Receptive.
And with deep gratitude.
With deep gratitude for this moment.
For your body.
Beautiful.
Just a little bit longer.
Stay here,
Pressing the top of your feet on the ground.
Just last 15 seconds,
Recommit yourself.
To this moment.
And inhale deeply.
Hold the breath.
Eyes closed.
Drop your awareness at the heart center.
Just feel that.
Openness,
Expansiveness in your heart.
And exhale slowly release all the way down to the ground and once again take your hands down by the Hips.
Bring one ear to the mat and relax deeply.
Maybe wiggle your hips from side to side if it feels good.
And then turn your cheek to the other direction.
See if you can notice.
Your heart beats.
The pulsation of your energy around your heart.
Deep inhale.
Full exhale.
Beautiful and then Bring your chin to there.
Do they matter?
Then come into tabletop position.
Just couple rounds of cat and cow here to neutralize the spine.
Arching And rounding,
Pulling the navel in,
Pushing away from the ground.
And just continue in this meditative way,
Arching and rounding.
Just notice how your spine feels.
It might feel a little tender.
Good.
And then sit your hips on the heels and sweep your legs forward.
And we're going to lay down onto your back once again.
So we're flip-flopping from side to side so that we get cooked from both sides.
So this time,
Bend your knees,
Separate your feet about hip width distance.
And now interlace the hands behind your hat.
This is the position of inhalation.
And on the exhale,
Lift the shoulders off the ground and come up.
Into yogic sit-ups.
Pause for a moment.
Exhale lower back down to the ground good inhale Exhale,
Lift the shoulders off the ground.
Pause at the end.
Pull the navel in.
And exhale,
Lower it back to the ground.
And continue just like this.
So lifting the shoulders of the ground,
Pausing.
Eyes closed.
And exhaling back to the ground.
Nice slow.
Pace.
Good,
So even though we doing a lot of work on our belly,
And definitely strengthening our core,
Like physical muscles.
We also do a lot of work on a more subtle level.
Our pranic body.
Activating that subtle force.
The resilience inner strength.
Good.
Just stay with this.
Lifting the shoulders pausing.
On the top.
And lowering back down to the ground.
Nice and slow.
So we really have to do this more active and dynamic.
Practices in order to really shift from our thinking mind,
From our worrying mind,
From our anxious mind.
And drop into our body to land in our body.
Right in the present moment to land in our heart that really knows all the answers.
That can guide us to the next right step.
And all we have to do is just really to do that work to silent the mind.
So that we can listen to the wisdom of the heart.
Good,
Just couple more.
