Practice Recommendations


Environment

Practice in a quiet, spacious area with good air circulation. Outdoor practice in nature is highly recommended when weather permits.


Attire

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows free movement. Use flat-soled shoes or practice barefoot for better balance.


Breathing

Coordinate deep, abdominal breathing with your movements. Inhale during opening movements and exhale during closing movements.
