समं कायशिरोग्रीवं धारयन्नचलं स्थिरः।संप्रेक्ष्य नासिकाग्रं स्वं दिशश्चानवलोकयन् ॥6.13॥

samaṃ kāyaśirogrīvaṃ dhārayannacalaṃ sthiraḥsaṃprekṣya nāsikāgraṃ svaṃ diśaścānavalokayan

Meaning

Holding the body, head and neck straight and still, steady, one should gaze toward the tip of one's own nose without looking around in other directions.

हिंदी में अर्थ

शरीर, सिर और गर्दन को सीधा और अचल रखकर, स्थिर होकर, अपनी नाक के अग्रभाग की ओर दृष्टि रखें और इधर-उधर न देखें।

Practise it today

Three times today, at your desk or while waiting, straighten your back, neck and head, soften your gaze downward and breathe calmly for one minute.

Reflect tonight

Did you remember your three posture pauses? Did sitting straight change how your mind felt?
