A practice session in Kundalini Yoga typically comprises of 3 steps : Before beginning, tuning in and concluding a set. The exercises in the steps are beautifully crafted to suit a person. The session begins with the breathing exercise where one needs to be with the sensations of the body. Then, one needs to calm down and relax so as to achieve a meditative state. After that, begins the tuning-in procedure. The Adi Mantra is chanted while sitting in a comfortable position and with a straight spine. "Ong Na Mo" is chanted while keeping the hands in the prayer mudra and the hands at 60 degres from the chest and the base of the thumb pressing the sternum.
