Some years back on a tennis court, we did a set of laughing yoga, with a lot of ha ha ha ha ha’s. The other night, we did snoring yoga, and then breath of fire with our tongues extended out.

An exercise we did that I’ve used often on my own is called 'Sa Ta Na Ma'. Though in class it's a seated meditation, I tend to use it when walking. It's calming, very nice when stressed or looking for courage.

If anyone remembers the TV show ‘Dr. Kildare’, there was a weekly opening hospital scene where a man speaks dramatically: ‘Birth. Life. Death. Infinity.’

Well, for the yoga exercise, you breathe in. Then you breathe out saying ‘Sa Ta Na Ma’ as you touch the tip of each finger to the tip of your thumb on the same hand, using either or both hands. You breathe in again, and repeat. 'Sa Ta Na Ma.'

Birth. Life. Death. Infinity.
