Mindful Movement 9
Stand upright with hands
on hips, feet together on
the ground. With the first
in-breath bend the right
leg and then with the outbreath straighten and
extend the leg out in front
of the body with the foot
just above the ground. With the second in-breath swing the foot
around the body to the side, keeping the leg straight and describing as
wide a circle as possible so that the foot ends up behind the body
with the toe touching the ground. With the second out-breath reverse
this movement so the foot returns to its position extended in front of
the body. With the third out-breath return the foot to its start
position. After repeating this cycle three times repeat the movement
using the left leg.
Mindful Movement 10
Stand upright your feet a good step
from each other. The left foot
pointing outwards at right angles, to
the side. The left hand rests on the
hip and the right arm points down
the right leg with fingers extended.
Your face is looking sideward in the
same direction as the left foot. With the in-breath bend the right leg
and raise the right arm stretching and extending it just above shoulder
level. This should produce a stretch along the left side of the body.
With the out-breath reverse the movement returning to the start
position. After repeating this cycle three times repeat the movement
on the other side of the body (i.e. bending the left leg).
