Breathing instruction – Make sure you inhale through your nose while pushing out your abdomen. Exhale through your mouth while pulling your abdomen inward. This allows for the maximum amount of air to flow freely into your lungs. Do this 6 times before beginning the movements. Roll your head and neck clockwise and then counterclockwise 8 times to loosen up. Remember to stand straight and not tense up your muscles. Relax and enjoy the experience.
