It starts with the usual TUNING-IN (chanting "ong namo guru dev namo"). Then onto:
SOLAR POWER PART 1: 13 minutes 27 seconds
you start seated doing spinal grinds(moving your spine in a circle), neck rolls, then lying on your back with one leg raised doing Breath of Fire(rapid breath through the nose), a cat/cow(on your hands and knees) sequence, snaking cobra, and then sitting on your heels flexing the spine. Then on your heels knees wide; twisting from the torso.
SOLAR POWER PART 2: 13 minutes 44 seconds
you are seated with legs extended doing some leg and hip stretches with breathing. Next are hip raises lying on your back, shoulderstand and plough with the Breath of Fire. And you also do a kind of sit-up but you lift your legs(bent) too.
SET FOR SUPER VITALITY: 7 minutes 6 seconds
lying on your back with legs raised to 45 degrees, you criss-cross your legs. Then you do parallel bicycle to further work the abs. Then seated you raise your arms, hands interlaced, over your head with the Breath of Fire and then you place you hands behind you on opposite shoulders.
AWAKEN YOUR SENSES: 15 minutes 38 seconds
this was my favorite sequence! About a third of the way through the exercise, I started to feel ready to stop(and started to feel like I was going to get angry at Ravi. lol), but then it made me feel like when I run on the beach with the ocean air and beautiful sights and sounds, I feel like I can run forever. So, it was incredible to have that feeling from this exercise. Then when it was time to stop I didn't want to! I felt so energetic and like going on. The exercise was done seated with your ring and little fingers curled under the thumb tip. Index and middle fingers pointing up. You alternate moving each arm forward with the Breath of Fire. Then after doing this for several minutes, you bring your arms up parallel to the floor, bent at the elbows. It was amazing.
Then comes the DEEP RELAXATION: 5 minutes 10 seconds. It is so relaxing and restful.
There is a HEART OPENING MANTRA CHANT for 4 minutes 30 seconds. It is "Ra-a Ma-a, Sa Sa Sa Sat, Hari Har Hari Har.
Then it ends with the CLOSING PRAYER(2 minutes)
There is a BREATH PRIMER AND POSTURE PRIMER and PRE-SETS:
"QUICK SET FOR BEGINNERS(30 min.)
"RISE AND SHINE"(58 min.
