8. Integrative Bands: stretchy bands that helps one to understand how to hook up and dynamically integrate the inside of the body for good posture, improved coordination, and outward use of the appendages.
Ex. 1. Band behind the back with the ends held out in front of the body with extended arms/hands. Just making contact with your back, but not pulling. Now take a deep breath. Feel your back push into the band. If you breath high up in your chest or not understand how to breath deep into your belly, you might not feel movement. The goal is to take a full breath so it expands the band away from the arms/hands.
2. Now breath deep and gently exaggerate your arms moving forward as your back expands against the band. Starting to see how to move the arms forward from within the body instead of disconnected.
3. Breath deep and feel the core action pull a leg up into marching position. Alternate left leg/right arm and right leg/left arm with each deep breath. The arms and legs are creating a "no" action.
