‘Hundreds’ Breathing Exercise I with Air Cushion
Pilates.
Lie face up on a mat with arms by your sides. Hold legs in air with knees
bent to 90 degrees. Place Air Cushion under low back and hips. Lift your
head and shoulders off mat and take 5 short, consecutive inhales, followed
by 5 short, consecutive exhales. At the same time, lift arms off mat and
pulse them in unison with the breath — palms face up on inhale and down
on exhale. Repeat 10 times for a total of 100 breaths.
Caution: The neck should be flexed but not
tense. |
