To adjust the meridians in the body (channels of energy.) Got this from my teacher Harijiwan. It’s a favorite kundalini yoga set of his and goes hand in hand with the hip set. Makes a great warm-up. Takes only about 5-6 minutes and is also a great de-stress exercise for the office.
Taught by Yogi Bhajan at Children’s Camp, Ram Das Puri, New Mexico
