- Satnam yogi and welcome back.
Today we're doing a class which is a bit more specialized
for addictions, especially cocaine addictions,
because it helps with the withdrawal symptoms.
And it also balances the nervous system and acts as a check
on the parasympathetic nervous system.
So it's a very good exercise for women, especially,
that have a feeling of current withdrawal
or an addiction towards food or drug, alcohol.
It releases that withdrawal syndrome.
So let's begin.
It's a little bit more complex than usual,
so just follow my lead and you do the best
you can at any time.
So don't worry if it's too much or too little,
just try your best and let's begin.
So placing the hands with palms facing forward.
The elbows are next to your body and the shoulder blades,
just give a little push even
to get the shoulder blades together.
So they're kind of touching at the back.
Gives you a nice open chest, but it also gets the nerves
of the back really activated.
And what we gonna do is first
we're gonna inhale very deep
and we're gonna hold the breath in,
for as long as you can hold this.
Ideally for one minute.
(gentle music)
And exhale when you can't hold any longer.
And we're gonna repeat this twice more.
Inhale deep.
(Mariya breathing)
Hold the breath in. Suspend the breath.
(gentle music)
And exhale.
Last time, inhale very deep.
(Mariya inhaling)
Suspend the breath and hold.
(gentle music)
(Mariya exhaling)
Relax the hands down.
Just go within and breathe normally for a minute or two.
(gentle music)
And now we're gonna come back
into the same posture, bringing the hands
palms facing forward, shoulders together.
Shoulder blades together. Chest is open.
And we're gonna inhale.
(Mariya inhaling) And when you inhale, hold the breath.
You're gonna press the tongue
at the roof of your mouth on the upper palate
and also squeeze the root lock.
So the anus, the sex organs and the lower abdomen,
just squeeze that, pushing the energy up.
Holding the breath in.
(gentle music)
Exhale.
And now we're gonna start breath of fire here.
(Mariya fast-breathing)
(gentle music)
Inhale deeply.
(Mariya inhaling)
Hold the breath in, press the tongue
at the upper palate, squeeze the root lock, hold.
Exhale in breath of fire.
(Maria fast-breathing)
Inhale and relax.
And now inhale deep (Mariya inhaling).
Last one, press the tongue at the upper palate
and hold the breath in.
Hold for as long as you can hold the breath.
(gentle music)
And relax.
Well done.
Just gather your energy,
feel how the shifts have taken place.
Notice any difference in the body or the mind.
The energy around you.
Deep breath work and it's very strong so.
Also if you have time you can lie down
and just relax for a few minutes
just to consolidate the energy.
Beautiful. Satnam.
Thank you very much for joining me today.
I hope I'll see you in the next one.
Satnam.
