🎉 Day 3 Complete?

Today we explored the Quadruped Breathing Position, one of my favorite ways to restore better alignment and stability.

Using this simple primal position and the support of the floor, we can begin improving the relationship between the head, shoulder blades, thorax, and pelvis. As alignment improves, the core muscles are in a much better position to activate and help stabilize the body.

This position can also help improve shoulder positioning, stability, and overall body awareness.

As you practiced, what did you notice?

• Were you able to find a comfortable alignment?

• Did the breathing feel different compared to Day 1?

• Did any area feel particularly challenging to maintain?

• Did you notice your shoulders, neck, or lower back working differently?

Remember, this is both an assessment and a training tool.

The goal isn't to hold the position perfectly. The goal is to become more aware of how your body is currently organized while beginning to improve that organization through practice.

In future progressions, we'll build on this position by adding movement and eventually hovering the knees while maintaining the same alignment and control. For now, focus on quality, breathing, and awareness.
