As per Kundalini yoga there are 7 Chakras (Centers) in the body Q) What are Chakras (Centers)? Chakra are commonly described, as energy centers in the spine located at major branchings of the human nervous system, beginning at the base of the spinal column and moving upward to the top of the skull.

2. Yogasan Om-Jumping (Run at one place & jump saying Om.. Om.. with it)

Vajrasan Vajra (Devanagari: वज्र) is a Sanskrit word meaning both thunderbolt and diamond. By regularly practising this asan your body becomes strong like a diamond. That’s why this asan is called as Vajrasan. When doing this Asan concentrate on your muladhara chakra. Muladhara is located at the base of the spine.

Benefits of Vajrasan Improves the digestive system and concentration. Improves your eye sight. Increases the number of WBC(?) cells in your body, which increases the resistance of your body to diseases. So, is everyone excited about this. Shall we do then…??

Vajrasan Procedure Bend your legs at the knees and sit on your heels. Let your both legs touch a little. Keep your hip and backbone straight. Keep your hands on your knees, and your shoulders firm. Keep your hands facing down and your eyes looking straight. Special benefit: If you sit on this asan after eating, the food gets digested faster. Health benefits: If a person with mental tension does this asan regularly, cheerfulness increases in his life and his body becomes strong.

Shask Asana Benefits This asana is very beneficial for your muscles. It improves the functioning of the “Adrenal Gland” located above your kidney. It activates your agna chakra, there by increases your determination. It controls your anger and your stubborness.

Shask Asana Procedure-1 Sit in Vajrasana. While taking a breath, lift your hands up and get hands into namaskar position. While exhaling slowly bend forward and try to touch the ground with your head. Keep the folded hands on the ground and breathe regularly. While taking a breath slowly, lift your hands and head up and get back to vajrasana.

Again, when you breath-in say "RAM" and when you breath-out count 2. Repeat this 20 times by taking the name of God, each time you breath-in. This will have remarkable positive affect on you and your day will fly by.

Translation doesn't have to be perfect try to write in english few of the lyrics, in your own words. I had attached the lyrics.
