sunbreaths, a mini moves practice

Just breathe, just move

Sunbreaths are my go to when I just want to feel the rhythm of breathing in my movement. They can be used for lots of different things, so of course please let them be for you what you need! Enjoy!
 
Listen to "Mini Moves - Sunbreath Variations"
 

What’s in the Mini Moves episode of moved to heal?

I offer a practice of sunbreaths, linking breath with movement where the movement is of the arms, torso, or arms and legs together. The simple (defined as being two part rather than multi-part!) and repetitive movements could have an energizing or calming effect (or something else!) depending on the day and how you're feeling when you start.
 

The forms + movements offered in this episode

  • Sunbreaths
  • Chair breaths (aka Squat + Stand)
  • Forward lunge stance (aka Warrior 1)
  • Simple stance (aka Tadasana)

Some forms may be pictured in my yoga forms library.

While you listen to the episode, you can do or not do any of the practices, and in whatever manner or degree you choose.

 
Be moving, be true, be you
