- Satnam Yogi, welcome back.
Today, we're gonna clean out your ears.
So if you have any infection or any kind of buildup,
you can't hear, you've been to the seaside.
It's dusty out there or you have some sort of aggravation,
this is very good way
of opening the tunnels here
and really getting the ear to heal.
So we're gonna do it on both sides
and you're welcome to stay in this
as long as you feel the need,
we'll do two minutes on each side.
But again, if you feel like if one ear
is really more aggravated, extend the posture
so that you benefit more.
So what we're gonna do is we're gonna sit
on our left heel.
If this is heavy for some,
you can leave the left heel on the side,
not necessarily sitting on it.
Or alternatively, place it next to the groin.
However, if you wanna do the real posture
in the fullest strength of it,
you're gonna sit on your heel
and the heel kind of goes in the perineum.
And then what you do is we're gonna lean forward.
We're gonna grab whatever we can, the shin,
the ankle or the big toe.
And first we're gonna have to warm up a little
because I don't know about you,
but I can't really even bend down.
We need a bit of warmup just to get the spine going,
make sure you are really going from the lower back forward.
And so now we're gonna bring the left ear
towards the right leg,
and try to essentially go as far as you can.
And if you can bring the ear to the knee,
which might be a bit of a stretch,
but as far as it can go up to here, that's absolutely fine.
The whole idea is we stretch,
we have this twist of the body
that really helps open that channel.
And if you can go all the way down,
just bring the ear to the opposite knee.
And from here, once you find the position
we do breath of fire.
(breathing)
Make sure that you are not pregnant
or if you're menstruating,
just do long, deep breathing here.
And inhale, stretch up, exhale.
We're gonna reverse now with our right leg under,
the left leg out, stretch up, come forward
and just open up the other side,
always listen to the body, don't force it.
So this time we're gonna bring
the right ear to the left knee.
I know it's very twisty.
I know it's not that easy, so just try your best really,
don't necessarily stress too much.
As long as we have that twist,
it really works on the canals of the ear.
So holding onto the big toe,
I would put probably the left hand next to the right knee
and get my support, and then twist,
gently, gently lower myself down.
And here we gonna do breath of fire again.
Inhale, stretch up and exhale.
Well done, this was a challenging one,
but if you have ear infection
and you're willing to try something different
instead of just going to the doctor's always
and taking some medication,
it's good to try something more alternative,
something more natural to the body
because our bodies have that capacity to heal.
So giving them the chance of healing is a beautiful thing.
Thank you very much, I hope you enjoyed
and I'll see you on the next one, satnam.
