• Your increased capacity to intuit the subtle physical changes that arise from moment to moment as you move and tune in to your breathing.
• Through the whole process you discover how to refine and regulate movement and breath to align with your body's requirements as they change from instant to instant.
• Start to experience how all the subtle sensations align and work together and how to adapt to your own individual circumstances.
