3 Phase Warm-Up:

Phase 1: Quadruped Breathing

Perform 1-2 minutes of diaphragmatic breathing while on all fours: Hands under shoulders and knees under hips, corkscrew elbows, shoulders back & down.
Initiate breathing with belly > rib cage and then chest, instead of initiating with chest. Breathe in and out of nose for approximately 15s each breath (5s inhale (belly falls) > 5s hold > 5s exhale. The purpose of this is to educate about the inhalation in the right order, which allows us to stabilize the core and prepare for the workout. As they continue to breathe they should feel the body relaxing.
