Posture: Begin in a standing position. Place your feet shoulder-width apart. Squat down so the thighs are parallel to the ground. Reach towards the toes, placing the palms on top of the feet by bringing the hands through the inside of the legs, around to the outside. Be sure to keep the back straight and only lift the head.
Eyes: Look forward.
Breath: Breath of Fire.
Continue for 5 minutes.
Posture: Sit on the heels and stretch the arms straight over the head so that the elbows hug the ears. Interlock the fingers except the index fingers, which point straight up.
Mantra & Locks: Begin to chant Sat Naam emphatically in a constant rhythm about 8 times per 10 seconds. Chant the sound Sat from the Navel Point and Solar Plexus, and pull the Navel all the way in and up, toward the spine. On Naam relax the belly. Continue very powerfully.
Continue for 5 minutes. To end, inhale and squeeze the muscles tightly from the buttocks all the way up the back, past the shoulders.
Posture: Sit in Rock Pose on your heels, rest the hands on the thighs.
Breath & Movement: Begin Sitali Pranayam, inhaling in short sips through a curled tongue until the lungs are full of air. Rotate the hips around in a circle. Hold the breath and rotate to the left for 1/2 the duration of the held breath. Then hold and rotate to the right for 1/2 the duration of the held breath.
Repeat the process 3 times.
Posture: Sit with the legs out straight and raise them to a 60° angle to the floor. Lean your torso back to a 60° angle.
Breath & Movement: Inhale. In a motion like a sit-up, drop the torso and legs down to 45°. Exhale, and then come back up to 60°. If done properly, this is the equivalent of 8 hours of exercise.
Continue for 5 minutes.
Posture: Lie on the back and bring the hands to the Navel Point. The left hand is closest to the body and the right hand is over the left. There is about 2 inches between the hands and the body, and also between the hands.

Breath: Long deep breathing.
Continue for 3 minutes.
Posture: Remain on your back and extend your arms up to 90°, straight above you.
Movement: Make fists of your hands and with great tension, pull your fists into your chest. Release and repeat 2 more times.
Repeat the Fist Pulls 3 times.
Posture: Rest on the back with the left hand on the heart and the right hand over the left.
Mantra & Breath: Whispering Hum Dum Hari Har, Hari Har Hum Dum. This is the meditation of the celestial angels. God is my breath, breath is my God. Breath is long and deep.
Continue for 5 minutes.
Posture: Sit in Rock Pose, place hands in Bear Grip. One palm faces out from the chest with the thumb down. Place the palm of the other hand facing the chest. Bring the fingers together. Curl the fingers of both hands so the hands form a fist, where the fingers of one hand are hooked around the fingers of the other hand. The arms keep a steady pull at the heart.

Eyes: Roll the eyes up to the Third Eye Point, creating a pressure.
Continue for 5 minutes.
