A standard set of therapy for beginners in the “standing” position:

1st stage – Neito

1. Twisting movements of the body and arms to the left (approx. left twist) and to the right (approx. right twist).
2. Neuto movement (from 1st to 4th). From the “standing” position, facing the rising sun: put your hands down (freely), smile, take 3 deep breaths. Then for the hands (and then the whole body) – first the left twist, then the right, then again the left and right.
3. Hetero movement (5th to 8th). With arms, head and body – left twist in the “left-up” direction and the right twist in the “right-up” direction.
4. Homo movements (9th to 12th). With arms, head and body – left twist in the “left-down” direction and right – “right-down”.
5. Neutro Movement (from 13th to 16th). With the hands located at the top parallel to each other, we describe the “infinity” sign. Move the arms in the direction “left”, then “right”, changing the direction of the twist for the hands from left to right.

2nd stage – Hetero

1. Neuto movement (from 1st to 4th). Hands at shoulder level. We make a left twist with them (and with the body), then right, then left again and right again.
2. Hetero movement (5th to 8th). With arms, head and body – left twist in the “left-up” direction and the right twist in the “right-up” direction through the center-down position.
3. Homo movements (9th to 12th). With arms, legs and body (slightly bent position) – left twist in the “left-down” direction and the right twist in the “right-down” direction.
4. Neutro Movement (from 13th to 16th). Draw the infinity sign again with the hands with maximum amplitude – left and right, changing the direction of each twist from left to right.

3rd stage – Homo

The essence: diagonal movements with a reverse hand twist. That is, performing a right twist with your hands while turning the body to the left and a left twist when turning to the right.

1. Neuto movement (from 1st to 4th). Twisting movements of the head, body and arms in the direction “left-forward-down” and in the upper right-back direction. The hands moved from top to bottom during the connecting movement change the direction of the twist 2 times: from the right to the left twist in the middle of the diagonal, as well as performing the right twist at the end of the diagonal while in the left lower-forward position. The position of the hands after the end of these movements is the right upper-back position.
2. Hetero movement (5th to 8th). Twisting movements of the body, head and arms in the left upper-posterior direction and in the right lower-anterior direction. When the hands are moved to the left upper-back position, they perform a right twist, and when moving to the right lower-front position, they perform a left twist.
3. Homo movements (9th to 12th). Twisting movements of the body, arms and head in the direction “left, up, forward” and “right-down-back.” When the hands move from the 1st direction to the 2nd, the twist changes – from right to left.
4. Neutro Movement (12th to 16th). Twisting movements of the body, arms and head in the directions “left-down-back” and “right-up-forward”. In the process – a change of hands from the right twist to the left.

4th stage – Neutro

1. Neuto movement (from 1st to 4th). Performing 2 left-sided and 2 right-sided twist-movements of the head, body and arms, with parallel movements of the latter.
2. Hetero movement (5th to 8th). Rotational twist movements of the hands in the front plane – left-sided and right-sided (2 each).
3. Homo movements (9th to 12th). Performing a left twist with the body and head with simultaneous rotational movements of the arms – diverging to the sides from each other. Further – the execution of a right twist with the body and head, with the hands – converging rotational movements towards each other.
4. Neutro Movement (12th to 16th). Performing rotational movements with the hands in the front plane – 2 converging and 2 diverging.

And do not forget that smiling during the class is half the battle!
