Excellent 30 Minute Yoga Set – Part 1
2 Comments/in Health and Wellbeing, Yoga, Yoga Illustrations, Yoga Pranayama/by Anmol MehtaAll titles below are links to the yoga techniques article, so click the link to read the full details on the particular exercise.
In Anuloma Viloma, you will breathe through one nostril, exhale through the other, then breathe through it, and exhale through the original nostril. Use your fingers to pinch a nostril closed as required by the pattern above.
For video instructions and advanced versions you can visit the full article – Anuloma Viloma Pranayama.
For both Kapalbhati and Anumla Viloma you can use the basic seated pose below. If you are not able to sit cross legged (or Burmese Style as shown below), then you can sit upright on a chair as well.

Yoga Routine for Lower Body Flexibility
3 Comments/in Meditation, Yoga, Yoga Illustrations/by Anmol MehtaWishing all of you a very happy, healthy, successful and awakened 2013. I would like to thank everyone for all their love and support in 2012 which has helped Mastery of Meditation and Yoga become one of the biggest yoga websites on the internet. I have a some great plans for 2013, which include more online classes, yoga and meditation videos, mantra and music mp3s and even live webcasts and workshops, all for free of course :-).
To kick off the new year I would like to publish for you the very important yoga for flexibility routine. The full set can be found in the article, Yoga for Meditation. I provided this set in a newsletter a few months ago, but wanted to publish it on the website as well so everyone can have access to it.
This workout is excellent for developing lower body flexibility and contains some key yoga poses to help stretch and open up this region. Many of these exercises are difficult to explain, so the illustrations below should be very useful to you.
For those interested in meditation, this routine is especially useful as the poses improve the flexibility of those regions which tend to give trouble when one is sitting for meditation. So if you are finding meditation uncomfortable, I strongly suggest doing these poses prior to sitting and in a few months you will notice a remarkable improvement in your flexibility and consequentially sitting will be much easier.
Also, for those students enrolled in the yoga teachers training or meditation certification program, this set is a must. For yoga teachers this is a great routine to do when starting your class to warm-up and prepare the body for more advanced poses and as explained above, for sitting in meditation, this is one of the best sets you can practice.
Recently I have also been adding these poses individually to the website, and so you can click the title to read the full article on that particular pose.
Yoga Routine for Flexibility:
Some titles below are links to the article with all the details including cautions, benefits, practice tips, etc. So click that to read the full article.
To practice this pose rock each leg as shown for 1-2 minutes. By rocking I mean to bring the ankle towards the chin and then back to the starting position. For more details about this exercise, please visit the set I have linked to above, it is exercise #13 in that set.
Below is a picture of modified Cow Pose, which is a pose you can come into for 1-2 minutes. If you are unable to do this pose, then substitute it with Yoga Knee Bounce instead.
To do Yoga Knee Bounce, sit with up with your legs extended in front of you. Then bend your left leg and place your left ankle high up on your right knee. Hold onto your left knee with both hands and bounce the knee gently up and down. Do for 1-3 minutes, and then repeat with the other leg.
Be sure you don’t force this exercise or force yourself into Cow Pose below.
Root Chakra Exercise | Yoga Frog Stretch
4 Comments/in Detox & Cleanse, Emotional Mastery, Health and Wellbeing, Kundalini Yoga, Yoga, Yoga Illustrations/by Anmol MehtaAlthough a great deal of emphasis is often placed on the higher chakras, the importance of the lower 3 charkas, the root chakra, sex chakra and navel chakra, should not be underestimated. Balancing these chakras is equally important for living a healthy, productive and happy life, and of these 3 charkas, the one that is often out of balance is the root chakra.
In the article, Chakra Healing | How to Balance Your Chakras, I provided details for how to analyze your chakras and determine which ones needed work. In that article I also provided various exercises and poses you can use to heal and balance the weak chakras. Below is the criteria to determine if your root chakra, which is responsible for physical security, fear and overall health, needs attention…
1. You feel physically weak and insecure.
2. You have constant health issues and illnesses.
3. You have a great deal of fear.
4. You don’t feel connected to the Earth or a part of nature.
If the above criteria apply to you, then working on your root chakra will be the way to help resolve these issues. For those who are new to Kundalini Yoga or the Chakra System, the following articles would be helpful: Kundailni Yoga Seven Chakra System Overview and Introduction to Kundalini Yoga.
Alternate Root Chakra Cleansing Exercise:
In addition to the exercise I am going to detail for you in this article, there is another technique on the website which is great for clearing the root chakra and that is Yoga Crow Pose for Cleansing Root Chakra. That article also has a video demonstration of crow pose along with modifications, etc.
Yoga Frog Stretch for Root Chakra:
The particular pose I am going to discuss in this article is called Yoga Frog Stretch. This should not be confused with Frog Pose, which is a great Kundalini Yoga Exercise for toning one’s thighs and buttocks. Frog Stretch on the other hand, is simply excellent for stretching your inner thighs, hips and groin, and excellent for balancing and cleansing your root chakra.
Originally, I started Kundalini Yoga in order to help me sit longer for meditation, so this was an exercise that I did religiously. It is perfect for stretching those areas one needs to open up in order to sit comfortably in meditation for long periods of time. For this reason, this exercise is a key component of the Yoga for Meditation Set as well.
More Yoga Exercises and Stretches:
Frog Stretch will of course be added to our ongoing yoga poses and exercises collections which you can access from the following pages – Free Hatha Yoga Galleries and Free Kundalini Yoga Exercises.
For Yoga and Meditation Certification Course Students:
For students enrolled in the Online Yoga Teacher’s Training and Certification Program or Online Meditation Certification Program, I suggest practicing this exercise during the warm-up phase as it will assist in doing any vigorous lower body work you are planning for your students.
Root Chakra Exercise – Yoga Frog Stretch
Below please find details of how to practice Yoga Frog Stretch, along with illustrations, step-by-step instructions, benefits and practice tips. As you can see this is a difficult exercise to describe in words, so I feel the illustrations should be particularly helpful and are long overdue :-).
Frog Stretch Illustrations
A. How to do Yoga Frog Stretch:
- Lie on your back and bring both legs up in the air. Your legs should be bent at the knees and the soles of your feet pointing up towards the sky. See illustration #1 above.
- Next reach up with your hands and hold the soles of your feet. You are holding your feet as shown in the illustrations above. The hands are on the inside of the feet as you are gripping the arch of each foot. See illustration #2 above.
- Now pull down and have your legs stretch wide apart. You are pulling your knees down your armpits to create a good stretch in your groin region, hips and inner thighs. As usual, only stretch as far as is comfortable and increase the stretch as you feel yourself getting warmed up.
- This pose will allow you to relax your rectum and lower muscles. Do so consciously.
- I love doing this exercise with powerful Breath of Fire. If you feel ready you should try that as well. You can also switch to long deep breathing or normal breathing whenever necessary. Doing this exercise with the Breath of Fire I feel enhances the cleansing affects for the root chakra.
B. Duration:
- I suggest holding for 1 minute and building up to 3, 5 or even 7 minutes.
C. Frog Stretch Benefits:
- Helps open up your groin and increases the flexibility and health of this region.
- Helps improve the flexibility of the inner thighs and hips as well, helping you to sit more comfortably in meditation.
- Excellent for balancing, healing and cleansing the root chakra.
- Done with Breath of Fire it gives you a good opportunity to expand and strengthen your respiratory system.
D. Practice Tips for Frog Stretch:
- You can do this stretch more than once in your routine. I suggest doing it once early in your set and then again later once you are more warmed up.
- You can do Mula Bandha squeeze and release at the end of the exercise 3 times to really bring focus to cleansing the root chakra.
- If you have difficulty sitting in meditation for long periods of time, certainly do this pose prior to your meditation session to help you sit more comfortably.
PS: If you enjoy this Root Charka Exercise or any other article on Mastery of Meditation and Yoga, please do share them with your friends. I appreciate your support.
Yoga Technique to Increase Willpower
11 Comments/in Emotional Mastery, Kundalini Yoga, Mind Power, Personal Development, Yoga, Yoga Illustrations/by Anmol MehtaYoga Exercise to Improve Willpower
There are many traditional yoga exercises that are indicated for those interested in improving their willpower and overall mental strength. Many of these techniques work on the navel region, which is the location of the Manipura or Navel Chakra and is responsible for one’s willpower and strength of character. Here are some testimonials of how working on this center has helped readers develop their confidence and willpower – Yoga for Willpower and Self-Confidence Testimonials.
You can easily search this website for sets and exercises that work on this region, by searching for abs, stomach or navel chakra. Also, here is a nice article which helps you determine the condition of each of your chakras and provides exercises and techniques to help balance the one’s that need work – How to Heal and Balance Your Chakras. So if you feel you need to improve your willpower, pick the techniques that help charge the Navel Chakra.
I though have another recommendation for you if you are looking to build your willpower and inner strength, and that exercise is Yoga for Nerve Power. This exercise, as it’s name indicates, is actually for strengthening your nervous system, but I have found it very useful for increasing mental strength as well.
More Yoga Poses for Willpower:
As usual this technique will be added to our ongoing free online collections – Free Hatha Yoga Galleries and Free Kundalini Yoga Exercises. There you will find many of the poses which work on the abdominal region as well, but there is another great pose for building willpower which is part of the collection that I want to point out and that is Yoga Jesus Pose for Inner Strength.
Jesus Pose is similar to Yoga for Nerve Power and I have found it equally beneficial for building and improving willpower. Both these poses come from the school of Kundalini Yoga.

For students enrolled in the Online Yoga Teacher’s Training and Certification Program or Online Meditation Certification Program, typically this exercise is done at the end of a set, but you can work it into any yoga routine as well in a location that is sensible. As it requires rapid arm movement, it is a good idea to stretch one’s shoulders and arms prior to doing this technique. Also, as this is a relatively easy movement to do, almost all students can practice it. The willpower building affect is related to how long one can keep this up for :-).
Yoga Exercise for Nerve Strength and Willpower
Below you will find details of how to practice this pose, along with illustrations, step-by-step instructions, benefits and practice tips.
Yoga for Willpower Illustrations
A. How to do Yoga for Nerve Strength:
- Sit comfortably with your legs crossed. You can also sit up on your heels in rock pose if you prefer or on a chair.
- Next extend both arms out to the side keeping the elbows straight. The arm should be at shoulder level and your fingers are all extended as well. See illustration #1 above.
- Now begin to move your arms up six inches from parallel (Illustration #2) and down (Illustration #3) six inches from parallel. So you start with arms parallel to the floor and then move them up six inches and then down six inches. Continue to “flap” the arms in this way. The movement should be rapid and use the Breath of Fire throughout the exercise. You will notice that moving faster is actually easier that moving your arms slower.
- Willpower is like a muscle so when your shoulders start to hurt is when you have the opportunity to build this muscle, so DON’T STOP. Keep going and you will notice that as the muscles warm-up and pathways open up it will get easier. Remind yourself of all the good this exercise is doing for you, not just with regard to increasing your willpower, but also with regard to strengthening your nervous system. Use this as motivation to keep going.
- Once you are done, stretch your arms up and apply root lock three times.
B. Duration:
- For the purpose of building willpower you need to push through the discomfort this exercise is going to create, so try to do 15-30 seconds more than is comfortable. Generally this exercise is done for 1, 3, 5, 7 or 11 minutes.
C. Benefits:
- Helps increase your willpower and mental fortitude.
- Helps strengthen your nervous system.
- Excellent exercise to strengthen and tone your shoulders.
- Builds character and grit.
D. Practice Tips:
- Be sure not to overstrain or overdo. Although the idea here is to build willpower by pushing past the point of pain and discomfort, you should be careful not to incur any injury.
- Concentrating on the Breath of Fire, it will help carry you through and help you go much further.
- There is a variation to the hand position which makes this exercise a little tougher, but is often used to enhance the effects. That is to have the thumb tip touching the base of the pinkie, while keeping the other 4 fingers extended. Try this hand position if you feel ready for the additional challenge.
- Another variation with the breathing you can use, if Breath of Fire is too much, is to inhale as the arms go up and exhale as the arms go down.
- Being able to sustain the exercise for extended periods of time will give you a great deal of confidence in your ability to handle the challenges life throws your way. It will make you mentally very tough and powerful.

One of the most important basic yoga sets on this website, is the Yoga for Meditation Set. It is part of the Silent Mind Meditation Program, which is the essence of my personal meditation practice, and details the Silent Mind Meditation Technique, which in my view is the ultimate meditation practice.
This Yoga for Meditation set is excellent for those looking to improve their flexibility, especially the flexibility of their lower body, which is essential if you are going to sit for long periods of meditation. It consists of some great basic yoga stretches which should be a part of every yogi’s toolbox. But, of all the great flexibility improving yoga poses that are a part of this set, there is one that is key for those who are keen on sitting more comfortably. That is Yoga Cradle Rock.
Yoga Cradle Rock, is a basic yoga stretch which one is usually taught early in their yoga training. It is from the school of Hatha Yoga, but is used by most other types of yoga as well.
As simple as this yoga exercise is, it is really a difficult one to describe in words and an illustration demonstrating how to do this pose correctly is long long overdue. So first, many apologies for those who have been waiting patiently for an illustration, but I am happy to announce that you wait is now over as I have gotten Trupti to do this demonstration for us and you will find those illustrations below.

Yoga Cradle Rock Illustrations
A. How to Yoga Cradle Rock:
- Sit with your legs extended.
-
Next bend your left leg at the knee and cradle it with left art as shown in Illustration #2. To cradle the leg hold onto the left leg with your left arm from underneath (your left elbow will be on the inside of the knee joint and you will be holding your left foot from the outside).
Now with your right hand hold the left foot as shown in Illustration #3. This is the basic position you take and you can now begin to do the movement.
- Now rock your leg back and forth bringing the ankle towards your chin. Make sure you rock gently and not put too much pressure on the knee joint or the hip joint. You will be able to accentuate the movement as your hips start to open up and you start to warm up.
- Once you are done with the left leg, repeat with the right leg.
- You can do this exercise with normal breathing or if you are ready you can do it which practicing the Breath of Fire.
B. How Much To Do:
- As with any stretching exercises, it is important to do it for a few minutes to really reap the benefits. So with cradle rock I would suggest 1-3 minutes per leg.
C. Basic Yoga Cradle Rock Benefits:
- Helps open up your hips and increases the flexibility and health of this region.
- Helps improve the flexibility and health of the knee joints.
- Overall is excellent for those who wish to meditate as it helps you sit in the traditional cross legged postures. For those who aspire to sit in half-lotus or full-lotus, this exercise is a must do.
D. Practice Tips for Yoga Cradle Rock:
- Be sure not to overstrain your joints, especially your hips and knees when doing this exercise.
- You can also do 3 rounds of this exercise, switching legs in between each round. It is a good way to extract maximum benefit from this key pose.
- Do this pose prior to sitting for your daily meditation (which I am sure all of you are doing :-), to help you sit more comfortably.
- I suggest doing this exercise regularly, if you are keen on sitting for long periods of time.
