Thursday, 8/27/09 -- Pranayama was part of a complete morning practice, immediately after savasana and before meditation. Began with six breaths to establish length, then six with a count of 4 -- 2 (retention) -- 14, then 12 cycles of 4: 2: 14: 2. Ended with six long breath cycles uncounted as a transition to meditation.
Friday, 8/28/09 -- Followed exactly the same routine as yesterday, with the only difference being a slight lengthening of the exhale during the 12-breath segment, yielding a count of 4: 2: 15: 2.
I reviewed the instructions and again found I am still not following them precisely. I'll try again tomorrow to get it right.
8/29/09 -- no formal pranayama today, but I did some breathing in Deirdre Wilcox's class at Whole Life.
