When I teach or practice mindful movement, I like to be creative and manipulate a traditional sequence of movements, in this case, taking the template of Surya Namaskar A or Sun Salutation A from Yoga to create something of my own. Link the breath with movement to repeat and sequence different poses that traditionally may not go together. When one repeats movement and adds breath to it, the body has the potential to go further with that movement, and eventually both become more efficient. Connecting breath and movement is like creating a loop that has the potential to be fluid like a dance and has the potential to last forever. It could be an endless system with infinite possibilities, where creativity runs free and where there could be so many more combinations to discover.
There are endless ways in which one may be able to move, adding breath to movement, makes the movement more efficient and more interesting to look at, almost like witnessing a dance performance. Like anything in life, to be able to move, breathe, and be aware of that combination as it happens, is a skill that requires practice, because we are moving and breathing all the time, but are we aware of it happening?
