Breathing/Focusing/Centering:

Positioning your feet in what we will refer to as a Zero Stance, feet shoulder width apart, toes pointed forward and knees slightly bent.

1. Breath in, raising your arms slowly up over head

2. Breath out, lowering your arms slowly to torso level

3. Breath in, bringing your arms in to the center of you torso (almost like giving someone a loose hug)

4. Breath out, bring your arms out to torso level as described in step 2

5. Repeat steps 1-4 until you feel relaxed and ready to begin the next exercise.
