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.
