If you are extremely busy & do not have much time to devote to exercise or if you have missed your day’s regular workout, then you can follow this simple schedule outlined below:
a. Sit in a comfortable cross legged position; Chant Om 3 times; then say a short prayer such as the following before beginning your practice:
Saha Nau Bhunaktu
Saha Viryam Karavavahai
Tejasvina Vadhitamastu
Ma Vidvisavahai
Meaning: Om, May God protect us both (the Teacher and the Student),
May God nourish us both,
May we work together with energy and vigour,
May our study be enlightening, not giving rise to hostility,
Om, Peace, Peace, Peace.
May God nourish us both,
May we work together with energy and vigour,
May our study be enlightening, not giving rise to hostility,
Om, Peace, Peace, Peace.
b. Now do 7-10 rounds of the 'Single nostril breathing' that you learnt in post 4
c. Follow this up with a gentle warm up sequence and 3-6 rounds of Surya Namaskar
On completion just lie down on your back & relax for a few minutes becoming aware of your body, mind & breath.
This will take you just about 20 minutes, ensuring good health & keeping you energetic throughout the day.
