Guest guest Posted November 11, 2002 Report Share Posted November 11, 2002 In "Transitions........" The Set for Lungs and Bloodstream. It really picks me up when I've traveled to higher elevations. Scuba is a tremendous exercise and education in calmness and presence of mind. Dharam "Nabil M.

Here is de description, its called a hindu squat and I got this from http://www.combatconditioning.com/combatconditioningbook2.html 1. Begin with your feet shoulder-width apart and your toes pointing straight ahead. 2. Keep you back straight and lower your buttocks until your thighs are parallel to the floor. 3. As you lower your buttocks your hands are BEHIND your legs, and they follow you toward the ground. 4. As you approach the parallel-to-the-ground position, you should simultaneously raise your heels from the floor. 5. Lower your buttocks until they touch the back of your calves. 6. Push off your toes, raising your body to a standing position. 7. As you raise your body, your hands come IN FRONT of your body. They continue to rise until they are level with your chest. 8. Once you have reached the up-position, pull your arms in toward your chest as if you are rowing a boat. Make tight fists with your hands and pull. Your elbows will be next to your body as you pull. 9. Inhale as you pull your arms in, exhale as you lower yourself. 10. Stay focused on your breathing. Hope it helps, Frans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 2002 Report Share Posted November 11, 2002 I prefer either breath of fire, or the exercise where you inhale in 8 parts through the curled tongue and exhale in eight parts through the nose. The set on page 32 in "yoga for the 80's" is really good for the lungs as well. Nabil M.
