Outward Bound Kriya

The Outward Bound kriya prepares you to meet the world head on—vibrant and strong. Because a woman’s reproductive system is totally internal, they require vigorous, daily exercise in order to have enough extroverted energy to really excel and work in today’s world. This set is a perfect example of how to bring that internal energy out.
This brings healing to your entire "apana" area: gonads, pelvis, and uterus—very important for women.
