The Kundanlini yoga version of Throat poses (as demonstrated by Ana Brett in Kundalini Yoga: A Journey Through the Chakras) works on your firth center or throat chakra. It is also good for brain hemisphere balancing and works on the physical counterpart of the throat center: the thyroid gland. If you are not familiar with the chakra system, please read the Yoga article before attempting to do this pose.

The goal is to eventually look like the pictures below.

	Pose
1.	Have your arms at right angles with index finger curled under the thumb and the other three fingers pointing straight up.
2.	Inhale while turning your head to the left and straightening out your elbows.
3.	Exhale while turning your head to the right and bending your elbows back up to the 90 degree angle.
4.	Repeat steps 2 and 3 above for a 2-3 minutes.
5.	Lower the wrists to the knees and sit in Meditation pose for a few minutes.
6.	Sit on your heels. Extend your arms in front of you with palms up. Lean back 30 degrees, tilt your head back, eyes open and do the Breath of Fire for 1-2 minutes. Remember to lift your sternum and keep your shoulder blades down on your back and cultivate a pull in front of the throat to give your neck support. Look to the heavens.
7.	Now relax and inhale. Bring your hands slowly to your knees palms facing down while slowly raising your head. Keep your head coming all the way down against your collar bone and just rock your chin against the collar bone side to side with your breath relaxed.
8.	Now keep you head down against the collar bone and interlace your hands behind your back. Pull your hands off your back and do the Breath of Fire for 1-2 minutes with your eyes closed.
9.	Now inhale and hold the breath with the arms still behind you and stretch. Then relax and have your hands stacked together with palms facing up in your lap and meditate for a few minutes with your eyes still closed.
