Fitness Quote by Cameron Stauth
““YOGI NERVE REVITALIZING BREATH This is an exercise practiced by virtually all yogis, who generally consider it one of the strongest nerve stimulants. It stimulates the central and peripheral nervous systems, and develops nerve force, energy, and vitality. It also brings stimulating pressure on several important nerve plexi that are associated with various chakras, which stimulates the entire nervous system and sends increased peripheral nerve force to all parts of the body. 1. Stand erect, inhale a Complete Breath, and retain it. 2. Extend your arms in front of you loosely, in a relaxed way. 3. Slowly move your hands back to your shoulders, as you squeeze your fists increasingly hard. 4. With your fists clenched very tightly, push them out and draw them back rapidly, several times. 5. Exhale vigorously through the mouth.””
