Countdown Formula:
Overall: today we incorporated round robin into our practice and it was by far the best experience I have had so far. It was terrifying and exciting all at the same time and I am so glad that we were just thrown into it like that. I have a hard time with the partnering when everyone else around is yelling different things, so this experience was very helpful for me to gain confidence and just have to go for something. I am really excited about the sculpt section of this class it seems to be less overwhelming and more high energy then what we learned on Saturday. I really need to focus and work on the countdowns and the length of time that each exercise happens and that I make sure each side gets an even amount of time and reps.

- Inhales - purpose: expand and create space/motion: upward, lifting and lengthening movements
- Exhales - purpose: compresses and creates depth/motion: downward, twisting, deepening and strength/exertion movements
Yogic Breath:
- In yoga, inhales expand and open body; exhales withdraw and release tension from the body
- The breath is an essential and foundational component to all yoga postures and is priority when teaching class
- The breath is artful and consistently cued
- Create heat in body
- Inhale through nose/exhale through nose
Strength Training Breath:
- Inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth to release heat
- Exertion breathing: the action of force as your move your weights - exertion occurs on the portion of the movement where the work happens -- exhale on the lit and inhale on the lower
- Synchronized movement - arm movements: lift first (exhale) then lower (inhale)/leg movements: lower first (inhale) then lift (exhale)
