Rowing the Boat at the Centre of the Lake

The feet remain hip distance apart and imagine you are wrapping your hands around the imaginary oars of a boat. Inhale to reach both hands forward extending the spine and back. As you exhale, the arms and hands move forward, knees bend and the hips drop as you lower your arms down towards the ground. The form asks us to imagine that we are already at the centre of the lake, so we can release any feelings of having to hurry to get anywhere. We are already where we need to be and can invite in the peace and stillness that comes with being at the heart of the lake.
