A Week of Mindful Movements

Start with Breathing

Let's begin by practicing a little bit of conscious breathing.

Make sure your feet are placed firmly on the earth, your body is centered, your back is straight, shoulders relaxed.

Allow your breathing to come down into your belly.

You may like to smile and enjoy standing for just one moment.
