Integrating Breathing and Action

This lesson explores the intersection of voluntary and involuntary movement through breath awareness. While lying on the back, students direct their breathing into specific regions of the torso and combine these internal movements with leg pushes and arm placements to roll the pelvis and shoulders. The process emphasizes maintaining a steady heart rate and ease throughout the movements.
