My company sends out health videos to help employees. Here are my notes from one of the videos. Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker.

This technique is good for:

  • It can help release tension.
  • Good for gastral intestine system
  • It’s good for the nervous system
  • It’s good for memory and concentration.

Steps:

  • Separate your feet and make them as parallel to your hips as possible.
  • Bend your knees slightly
  • Lean your body, hip to one side, and turn your pelvis in the direction you are leaning.
  • Lean to the opposite side and turn your hips in the same direction.
  • Slowly move from side to side with the hip twist in the same direction on each lean.
  • Include hand movements by extending your arm. Have top hand with palm facing the heart area of your body.
  • The bottom palm is cupped opposite the bottom of the belly.
  • When your body leans to one side, your arms follow suit in the lean. When you move the body to the other side the bop hand goes to the belly area and the bottom hand/palm goes to the top. . Do it in a slow flowing motion.
  • At the end brings both hands to the chest and then slowly lower them to your abdomen. Separate your hands and move them into a circle outside of your body. Lower those hand down the middle of your body and repeat.
