Bhastrika,one of the cleansing rituals in yogasana along with Kapalabhati was introduced.
Bhramari, imitating a bee, is one of the important exercises in pranayama where the exhalation is practiced longer than inhalation.
Students were asked to slowly push their limits with every practice of yoga to attain perfection at a steady pace.
A sumptuous breakfast of upma and chutney filled us well for our next session of Sandhi !
Prathama students were introduced to the concept of Sandhi.
Dwiteeya and Trutiya were challenged to decipher the words and their combinations with their acquired knowledge on the same.
Students’ enthusiastic participation kept everyone’s spirits sky high.
