So I just want to say how excited I am that we are all together. The regular PA instructors, this is a treat. Today I'm going to be teaching an intermediate mat, probably a higher level, but I'd like to focus on the order going from one exercise to the other, but only one repetition each. So let's begin by scanning. I think though I may actually have you do a full three sets of each mat, so I will be a workout and move forward. This is actually one of the great things that Romana told us when we first, even before we were apprentices, at least me, um, was to memorize the order.

So because the order teaches you why we're doing it, the purpose, so cross one leg over the other and begin to sit. Go ahead and lift your bottom exactly and lie all the way down on your mat. We're going to begin with a full hundred to warm up. But then from that point on, we'll only do the 10 and I'll, I'll remind you. So beginning with your hundreds, you're going to lift your legs, lift your arms, lift your heads and breathe again. Breathing too. Okay. Alright, excellent there. Fuck five.
