Hi Students:
My next workshop is on Sunday, August 4, entitled, Finding Comfortable Zen Sitting. Save the date and I hope to see you there.
You can increase your oxygen intake when your diaphragm is able to expand in all directions within your torso, like a balloon filling with air. This lesson will help you learn how to expand your diaphragm movement. Afterwards do not think about breathing. Observe throughout your day, if you take in more air with each breathe, without trying.
I made this video while teaching a student. This is the beginning of her lesson.
I suggest that you lie down on the floor and do the lesson while listening to my instructions, like you would during a class. I also suggest not to watch the video before doing the lesson because without feeling the movements you will probably loose interest. Instead refer to the video if you don’t understand something while doing it.
I dedicate this video to all my students in San Francisco including: Janet, Tina, Darryl, Steve, Kent, Jerry, Peggy, Nancy, Linda, Greg, Jobyna, Karen, Carmen, Sabrina, Maureen, Mike, Amy, Hafsa, Julie, Rob, Phillip, Avi, Craig, Patrick, Ernest, Jarvis, Nora, Naren, Bill, Leslie and Joan. I miss all of you dearly (even if I didn’t mention your name). I am excited to teach all of you from afar! Enjoy!
Donna
