WARM UP

 

Activity 1

Class begins with music and warm up. Students are invited to get on their feet, get away from their desks and follow the professor's muscle groups - isolation warm up. 

In previous classes, we added conscious breathing at the end of the warm up,  self-affirmations,  meditation, mindfulness and relaxation techniques.


TODAY, WE ARE JUST WARMING UP FOR FUN!
