For this practice:
If you are new to this work, John will refer to the "Biological Breath" created by Emily Conrad and Cass Phelps. You can begin this practice on the floor on a mat either on your back or on your knees in a cat cow position, if that feels good. The breath is an inhale with a wide open mouth and an exhale with a wide open throat. The focus of the inhale and exhale is in the back of the throat. What's important is that your throat is open because that helps unlock the center column. John will also lead you into a squeeze and release practice of different body parts and muscles to help release stored energy and emotion in the body. The focus of this practice is to continue breathing into these parts of your body while squeezing and tightening the muscles expanding through the breath and then releasing on the exhale to create more openness and freedom in the body.
