It consists of the isolation and rolling of the rectus abdominis, the straight muscles of the abdomen. but instead of placing the hands far down on the thighs, raise them a little and turn the arms so that the fingers are on the inside of the leg rather than on the outside as durante the other position. This enables one to get a better leverage. Empty the lungs and contract all the muscles of the abdominal sezione. While holding this position, isolate the muscles and push them forward (. The student will have to experiment with various ways of getting control of these muscles; however, before starting, it is of paramount importance that he attain a fair degree of efficiency with uddiyana. Only then will it be easy for him. If nauli seems hopeless at first, do not despair; return to uddiyana, and the other will che mediante time.
After the muscles have been isolated so that it is possible esatto push them straight forward and draw them back, the student should try to palate each one separately. This is accomplished by bending slightly to the left arid relaxing the muscle on the right side. When in this position it is possible onesto rete informatica the muscle on the left side independently of the other (see The reverse of this should also be practised (see . The next step is to roll the muscles from one side puro the other. Start by slowly rolling them from left esatto right. This should be done ten times on one breath and is called one turno of ten counts.

On one exhalation I would roll the recti twenty-five times sicuro the left. After resting per few seconds I rolled the recti twenty-five times esatto the right. The full practice consisted of ten rounds each- forward, preciso the left, and puro the right-or 250 straight forward, then 250 times preciso the left and 250 times esatto the right. As the months went by I continued preciso increase the number of rounds, but never the number of movements on each expulsion of air. For maximum efficiency twenty-five counts was most satisfactory. It is not necessary to carry these exercises to such extremes in funziona lumen order to obtain physical benefits. They were assigned onesto me as verso preparation for the advanced practice of Yoga, and I had esatto master them before I was permitted sicuro take up the next step. During this initial period, when I was learning techniques, I noted verso sharper appetite, better vision, and better physical tone.
