Hi Friends,
Here is a link to a new (I made it nine years ago, but just posting it now) video explaining in the most detail the three part and rhythmic breathing that I encourage students to practice as a support for their body based mindful meditation practice. The last thirty minutes includes the series of standing postures I include during my retreats followed by a relaxing laying awareness.
Sitting postures: good and not so good for maintaining alert awareness.

| Both knees grounded to the floor with spine straight maintaining natural inward curve of the lumbar vertebrae and chin level, parallel to the floor |
 |
| Knees up in the air, back slouched, chin down Have a calm and peaceful meditation/awareness |
