Part 3/7:
The session begins with practitioners adopting a mountain pose, a grounding stance that sets the foundation for the upcoming exercises. This posture encourages mindfulness, with a particular emphasis on breathing techniques known as ujjayi breaths, which involve a gentle contraction at the back of the throat to create an ocean wave sound.
As you progress through the session, the practice incorporates abdominal engagement through techniques like mullabandha, which requires contracting the pelvic floor muscles and drawing the navel in and up toward the ribcage. This technique is essential as it directs kundalini energy upwards towards the crown of the head.
