Lesson transcript

Mum Mum Exercise with Shoulder Roll and Head Movement

Next, we're going to do the mum mum exercise with the shoulder roll and movement of the head.

Key Points

  • Relaxation: Try to keep everything as relaxed as possible during this exercise.
  • Upper Body: The key here is to find relaxation in your upper body.
  • Awareness: Notice any points where your body might stiffen. It may become harder to keep the movement going. Revisit those spots in future sessions.

Let's Begin

Repeat after me:

Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma mama ma ma ma ma ma ma.

  • Make sure to put a little cry on it.
  • Keep your head nice and loose.
  • Looseness in the shoulders is essential.

Freedom in Movement

The key here is freedom.

  • We don't worry about how it sounds, at least not just yet.

Conclusion

Good work! This completes this module.

  • Make sure to do this exercise three to four times a day for the next four days.
  • Come back on day five.
