Class Session #001

Meditation – today’s focus is on breathing, feel each breath and begin to feel the air flow. Notice the cycle of inhale and exhale and how they become one fluid motion.

Warm up – perform a 10 minute warm up combining stretching and activity to warm up the body for exercise.

Basic Actions – Perform 10 of each basic action’s in the following manner. Inhale during the fix and feel the air filling your lungs, this should be a slow relaxed movement. Sharply Exhale on the action, the goal on the action is that each one should be breaking a 1” board. Use maximum power for the technique and then relax again and begin the cycle again. SPEED of repetition is not important – the influence is on breathing.
