2. Group of exercise concerned with loosening up the
joints of the body.
Voluntarily giving slow movement to the joints with
awareness.
Each and every part of the body including the
organs & muscles are taken into consideration.
3. Stiffness in the physical level
Energy blockages in the pranic level
4. Peace, balance and one pointed awareness which
inturn brings harmony in the physical level.
Since the movement is done slowly it slows down
the brain waves, further enhancing relaxation and
awareness.
It has a great influence at the physical and pranic
levels and useful for harmonizing and improving
the function of the internal organs.
5. Alpha – in the morning
Beta – active
Theta – extreme relaxation
Delta – deep dreamless state, the body is healing
itself.
6. Loosening exercises which are done very fast.
Principles –
To flex the back portion by stretching and relaxing
the spine.
7. Objective –
To move from TAMAS – RAJAS (lethargy)
Bring body mind complex

9. To be practiced step wise.
Be aware of your breathe and the parts of the
body.
Be aware of your thoughts and feeling.
Count the steps.
Learn to synchronize each step in a group.
After every two – three movements relax quietly in
leg stretch position with eyes closed.
10. As with the bones, the shape of the joints reflects their
function (and their function reflects their shape). Joints
come in a spectrum of shapes, depending on the mobility
or stability they require. For example, the hip joint is a ball
and socket while the knee joint is a hinge. A ball and
socket type hip joint confers the greatest mobility in all
planes and is useful for activities such changing direction
while walking and running (or reaching in various directions
to grasp objects, as with the shoulder). A hinge type knee
joint provides greater stability and is useful for propelling
the body forward (or drawing an object towards the body,
as with the elbow).Other joints such as the intervertebral
between the vertebrae allow for limited mobility between
individual vertebrae but great stability to protect the spinal
cord. Mobility of the spinal column comes from combining
the limited movement of individual intervertebral joints as
