It is donation and always has a groovy easy feeling.

Known Constraints: One of the studnets is not sleeping. Decided to focus on exhalation hoping to help her.

Pranayama
lying supine
began with a 4:0:6:0
encouraged to allow count to shrink or expand as necessary
encouraged to start to notice the end of exhale
instructed to add 2 count retention of exhale
after about 4 rounds, encouraged to increase retention to 4 count
after about 4 rounds, encouraged to increase retention to 6 count
(always bringing the awareness to the appropriateness of it. watching the strain in the head, neck, eyes, etc.)
eventually instructed to bring the count back to the 4:0:6:0 and then release into Savasana
