Inhale Exhale

Setup

• Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointed slightly outward.

Movement Pattern

1. Starting Position: Stand tall with arms crossed overhead, reaching high towards the ceiling. Inhale as you hold this position.

2. Squat Down: As you exhale, lower your hips into a deep, wide-stance squat. Keep your chest up and your knees aligned with your toes.

3. Forward Fold: As you continue the downward motion, fold your torso forward towards the ground. Bring your arms down and across your chest/shoulders, hugging yourself in the bottom position.

4. Return: Inhale and reverse the motion, extending your legs to return to the starting standing position while simultaneously lifting your arms back overhead to the crossed position.

Key Tips

• Keep the movement fluid, linking your breath to the action.

• Ensure your heels remain flat on the ground throughout the squat.
