Instead of thinking of a 'guru' as only the person ahead of us on the path, Rajanaka Tantra posits that the guru principle informs how we safely progress on our paths with guidance from multiple teachers, including ourselves. This practice moves towards naginyasana 2 (the low lunge variation of mermaid) via progressive chest openers and quad stretches. It includes foot and toe stretches, and closes with seated and supine forward bends and side stretches.
