In "Transitions........" The Set for Lungs and Bloodstream. It really picks me
up when I've traveled to higher elevations.
Scuba is a tremendous exercise and education in calmness and presence of mind.

Hello nabil,

This is not a yoga exercise, but its really nice (I think !

Here is de description, its called a hindu squat and I got this from
http://www.combatconditioning.com/co...ningbook2.html

1. Begin with your feet shoulder-width apart and your toes pointing
straight ahead.

2. Keep you back straight and lower your buttocks until your thighs
are parallel to the floor.

3. As you lower your buttocks your hands are BEHIND your legs, and
they follow you toward the ground.

4. As you approach the parallel-to-the-ground position, you should
simultaneously raise your heels from the floor.

5. Lower your buttocks until they touch the back of your calves.

6. Push off your toes, raising your body to a standing position.

7. As you raise your body, your hands come IN FRONT of your body. They
continue to rise until they are level with your chest.

8. Once you have reached the up-position, pull your arms in toward
your chest as if you are rowing a boat. Make tight fists with your
hands and pull. Your elbows will be next to your body as you pull.

9. Inhale as you pull your arms in, exhale as you lower yourself.

10. Stay focused on your breathing.


Hope it helps,

Frans

I prefer either breath of fire, or the exercise where you inhale in 8 parts
through the curled tongue and exhale in eight parts through the nose.
The set on page 32 in "yoga for the 80's" is really good for the lungs as well.
