Breathing should be synchronized for each posture: Inhale (1)  Exhale (2)   Inhale (3)   Exhale (4) etc. Try to maintain a rhythm, moving through the poses evenly and smoothly, taking a few seconds to hold each posture/position. Once completed the cycle may be repeated for as many times as comfortable (3-10 is suggested). This "exercise" is felt to suited to Pitta types or imbalances for its more cooling energetics.
