With roots spanning over a thousand years, this meticulously crafted sequence harmoniously engages every joint, muscle, and energy channel within the body, promoting a profound sense of balance and vitality.
While numerous variations of this sequence exist today, my version emphasises fluidity and mindfulness. I incorporate it into my classes to guide students toward a deeper connection with their inner energy and enhanced well-being.
