Yoga Flow Music Compilation - Your Guide to a Complete Practice at Home

Want to experience a comprehensive yoga practice that balances your body, mind, and energy? In this article, we'll introduce you to a Body & Brain Yoga flow that you can easily practice at home.

Body & Brain Yoga is a holistic practice based on energy principles from ancient East Asian wisdom. While it's a key component of our Change Your Energy Premium Membership, you don't need prior experience to benefit from this practice. We've created this step-by-step guide suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners.

To complement your practice, we've also developed a new Yoga Flow Music Compilation. This downloadable album guides you through a complete yoga session, with each track perfectly timed and labeled to support the exercises you'll learn here.

Let's explore the components of this practice and how you can use the music to enhance your home yoga experience. Whether you're new to Body & Brain Yoga or looking to deepen your practice, you'll find clear instructions for each exercise, along with video demonstrations to help you get started.

Warm-Up: Dahnjon Tapping

Begin your practice with Dahnjon Tapping to center your energy and focus:

  1. Stand with feet hip-width apart, toes pointing forward like the number 11.
  2. Keep knees slightly bent, spine straight, tailbone gently tucked, and chest open.
  3. With open palms or soft fists, gently tap the area about 2 inches below your belly button.
  4. Focus on the sensations in your abdomen as you tap.

This warm-up helps shift your awareness from your head to your body, grounding your energy and preparing you for practice.

Meridian Exercises

Next, move into Meridian Exercises to stimulate your body's energy pathways. These exercises are based on the 12 major meridian channels in Traditional Chinese Medicine, which are believed to be the pathways through which qi energy flows in the body. Here are a few examples of Meridian Exercises you can choose from:

a) Body Tapping:

  • Tap along the meridian lines of your body
  • Use fingertips or palms to stimulate energy flow
  • Focus on areas of pain or discomfort

Body tapping helps release blockages and brings more energy and blood to the associated organs.

Watch a full body tapping routine:



b) Joint Rotations:

  • Rotate each major joint (ankles, knees, hips, wrists, elbows, shoulders)
  • Move in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions
  • Breathe deeply as you rotate to release stagnant energy

Joint rotations help release stuck energy in the joints and increase flexibility.

Watch a full-body joint rotation exercise:



c) Intestine Exercise:

  • Form a triangle with your thumbs and fingers, with your thumbs meeting at your navel
  • Use lower abdominal muscles to pull the belly button in and push out

This exercise is particularly beneficial for the Kidney, Stomach, and Large Intestine meridians, promoting digestive health and overall energy circulation.

Brain Wave Vibration

Brain Wave Vibration is a unique meditation technique that combines gentle head movements with abdominal tapping:

  1. Sit or stand comfortably and close your eyes.
  2. Gently sway your head from side to side, visualizing your brainstem.
  3. Simultaneously tap your lower abdomen with soft fists.

This practice helps synchronize your brain waves and promote a state of relaxed awareness to reduce stress and stimulate healing.

Breathing & Relaxation

Now, transition into a relaxed breathing exercise while lying on your back:

  1. Place your palms on your lower abdomen.
  2. Breathe deeply through your nose, expanding your belly like a balloon.
  3. Exhale completely through your mouth, drawing your navel toward your spine.
  4. Concentrate on the warmth building in your lower abdomen.

This breathing technique helps center your energy, promotes deep relaxation, and prepares you for meditation.

Practice this breathing technique:

Energy Meditation (Jigam)

Jigam is a fundamental energy meditation that helps you sense and direct your own energy, starting with your hands:

  1. In a seated position, hold your hands palms-up in front of your abdomen.
  2. Focus on feeling the energy between your palms.
  3. Slowly bring your hands apart and together as you continue to sense any sensation between your palms.
  4. Allow your mind to quiet as you sense this subtle energy.

Jigam helps quiet the mind naturally, and it enhances your awareness of energy and prepares you for deeper meditative states.

After a few minutes of sensing energy with your hands, you can transition into a free-flowing movement called Dahnmu Dance. Keep your eyes closed and let your body move intuitively, following the flow of energy you feel in your hands and throughout your body.

Learn Jigam meditation:

Waking Up Exercises

Conclude your practice with invigorating exercises to awaken your body. Choose from any of the following that feel good to you:

  • Perform various stretches to release any remaining tension
  • Try gentle bouncing to stimulate circulation
  • Incorporate joint rotations to maintain flexibility
  • Do some light body tapping to invigorate your energy

These exercises help integrate the energy work you've done and prepare you to re-engage with your day, feeling refreshed and revitalized. They help transition your body and mind from a meditative state back to an active one.

Bonus: Yeondahn Exercise (Sleeping Tiger Posture)

As an optional practice, you can include the Sleeping Tiger Posture in your routine. This can be done anytime, or during your yoga flow before Jigam. Remember to do some focused breathing before and after this exercise.

  1. Lie on your back, raising your legs and arms into the air.
  2. Bend your knees at a 90-degree angle, keeping legs a fist-width apart.
  3. Keep elbows straight and bend wrists 90 degrees.
  4. Focus on accumulating energy in your lower abdomen.

This posture helps accumulate energy and can release pain in the back, neck, head, hip, and knee areas.
