Korihi ake nga manu
Takiri mai te ata
Ka ao, ka ao, ka awatea!
Tihei mauri ora.
The birds call
The day begins
And I am alive.
With the dawn comes a sense of well-being and optimism.

lower your body down till
your forehead, chest, knees, hands and feet
are touching the mat,
your bottom tilted up.
Take a normal breath in this pose.
