Week 4: Character

Working safe and aware:

You will walk around and receive instructions via the video to enable you to participate and focus on the exercise. As you will be walking please consider to change your direction from time to time, especially when working in a small space to avoid dizziness.

Please put your laptop on a table or even higher on eye level. This will help you connect to the work more easily.

Make sure you’re in a space where you can work privately and uninterrupted Have enough space to reach out freely in each direction without hitting anything No sharp corners, cords, loose objects or other trip hazards around Wear flexible clothing and avoid jewellery Leave your yoga mat or rug out this time, to enable yourself to walk around freely

What is your main take away from this week's practise?

Exercise this week:

2: Daily check in moments Check in with your body and become more aware of your posture and energy flow.

3: Practise the pandiculation at least 4 times a week for about 7 minutes.
