There are a wide range of students participating, from beginners to experienced yoga practitioners, so the exercises are designed to allow you to pace yourself. The total time will be 45 minutes / day. Most important, walk the middle path with regard to each session. DO NOT OVERDO OR OVER STRAIN and at the same time don’t have it be excessively easy either.

Participation Guidelines
Following are the guidelines which I suggest we follow…
- Please post all comments, questions and feedback of a public nature in the comments section of this post. This way all will benefit from the discussion. Feel free to ask questions or discuss issues, as that is one of the main reasons for this particular class format. Of course, you are free to email me as well if you would like the discussion to not be public.
- If you like, you can indicate with a comment that you have completed your daily session. Could be as short as “did it”, or of course could be questions, issues or more detailed feedback. The hardest part with a daily yoga and meditation practice is establishing consistency and regularity and I think having to acknowledge that you completed your daily sadhana (spiritual work) will help in facilitating that. In addition, your comments could inspire others as well.
- I will post all information regarding the class in the comments section below as well, so please check periodically for updates.
- Before starting your daily yoga and meditation session, take a moment and tune in to your higher self for guidance and protection. At the end of every session, visualize yourself and the world as you would like it to be.
- Do the best you can and modify the class as you require. It is more important to do something, than be overwhelmed or not do anything at all.
- I wish you all a wonderful learning and transforming experience.
Hi Amit,
Yes you can modify the class as you have indicated. Those are wonderful pranayamas that you are doing.
Best,
Anmol

Hi anmol,
I am easily nervous kind of person. For last 2 years, I suddenly become fearful and all of a sudden nervous breakdown happens to me.
After practicing the CAT-Cow technique, now I have some control over my nervous break down situation. But my mind has become so fearful that I regularly keep thinking of this situation may happen to me. Some one told me that this is simply anxiety and depression.
While doing something, unwanted thoughts comes and I become anxious because of these unwanted thoughts.
Please help to get out of this situation
Thanks.
Emilie,
Glad to hear you are enjoying your experience.
