Movement: Presence
A gentle introduction of how we will move in His presence, under the authority of the spirit by creating a focus on WORSHIP rather than a WORKOUT.
Lord your word says, “You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.”
-Psalm 16:11
“And the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.”
-Genesis 2:7
We Breathe you in God, Breathe on us.
EXERCISES:
- Cross-legged– breathe in arms out and up overhead, exhale hands to heart
- Side bend– reach 1 arm overhead and bend to the opposite side
- Forward fold– circle the sun and moon (fingertips stay on the ground)
- Hip openers– seated with your hands behind you, tabletop, single-leg figure 4, twist
- Seated mountain– legs extended forward, inhale arms up, fold forward, roll up
