## FOCUS - This lesson focuses on connecting movement from the feet to the chest, using breath to expand and contract the torso, and developing a subtle snake-like motion throughout the body. ## TIP & TRICKS: - Start moving from the feet into the legs and hips while breathing naturally. - Use the inhale to expand torso movement and the exhale to contract it. - Imagine unbuckling a belt around the belly to let movement travel to the ribcage. - Play with snakey motion from the ground up to the chest, keeping feet rolling. - Slow down movements to feel the ribcage's motion and make it very subtle. - Collect energy from under the feet and let it travel through legs, hips, to chest. ##REMEMBER - Maintain the feeling from feet to hips while focusing on chest movement. - Use breath to naturally guide expansion and contraction of the torso. - Let movement flow naturally without forcing, allowing it to travel upward. - Keep the body snake-like and connected from feet to chest. - Practice with minimal foot movement to enhance subtlety and energy flow.
