Hi all,
I started by doing pranayama and meditation. After 2 months or so I
added sambhavi and mulabandha. Doing sambhavi and mulabandha at the
same time i found is kind of difficult. so instead of mulabandha i am
doing siddhasana (just pressure at perinieum with one leg’s heel and
the other leg just lying on floor).
is this ok? i understand that siddhasana is kind of advanced practice
so i am a bit in doubt whether this is fine or not.
Thanks,
Near

See lesson 58 for advice on this.
It’s best not to skip things; the practices are designed for everyone, and solving the
“puzzle” of each new addition and getting past the initial clunky stage is intrinsic to the
self-pacing you see mentioned again and again. Nothing’s super-easy, but nothing’s
anywhere near impossible, either.
There is much guidance in the lessons, so you may want to consider buying the book and
reading quite carefully (of course, you’re also always welcome to ask questions here as
well…but we’re not as smart as Yogani!).
