5 Rhythms: Stillness

 

I. Alignment (2:00 min)

Close your eyes

Imagine a string pulling you from the top of your head up towards infinite

Elongate of your neck

relax your shoulders

Imagine gravity is pulling you towards the ground, from the bottom of your feet downward

Inhale and on the exhale press your abdomen against your spine

Flatten your back

Tuck in your rib cage

Rotate your shoulder so that the align with your hips

Bring your tailbone slightly forward

Soften your knees
