The Hundred

Warm up for the upper body. 

Bring heat to the body & increase circulation.

Coordination of the slow smooth breath against the staccato movement of the arms.

Maintain spine & pelvic stability with deep core engagement.

In the original mat series, the lower back is pressed down (Imprint), but the pelvis should remain stable without tilting. Maintaining pelvic stability is essential for a strong connection with the deep abdominal muscles. Instructing to activate the "pelvic floor" muscles is an effective method to ensure this stability.
