What we do

This session works on getting down to the floor and back up. We start on the floor, move slowly, and stop at three points where you can stay if the next step is too much today.

I talk through the first round and then keep quiet, so you can hear your own breathing instead of mine.

You will need

  • Nothing

  • Clothes you can move in

  • About two metres of floor

Go easy if

Anything pinches, tingles or goes numb. Back off to the last position that felt like work rather than warning, and stay there.
