IN THIS LESSON

Explore moving with your Metal meridians.

Put on this Metal Playlist or any music that feels spacious, reflective, and light. Move through the following sequence with awareness and ease.

Perform 5–10 repetitions for each movement.
You can complete the full series on one side before switching, or alternate sides as you flow.

As you move, focus on breath and release—inhale to invite clarity, exhale to let go of what feels stagnant or heavy. Sense the openness of your chest and lungs, the clean lines of each movement, and the quiet spaciousness that follows each exhale.

Notice which movements help you feel lighter, clearer, and more at ease. Return to them anytime during your day as a gentle “movement cleanse” to refresh your breath and energy.

Heart Pullbacks (LU focus)

Draw your palms back as you sit back towards your heels. Feel a stretch in your underarms and across your chest. For more focus on the lungs, setup your hands just off of your mat, wider than for the heart.

Shoulder Cranks (LI Focus)

Focus on your upper trapezius. Press your fingertips up and back as your helper hand presses your wrist down.

Reverse Plank Rolls

Press your hands towards your hips to tighten your chest, then lift your chest and roll your shoulders back to open your heart protector and your lungs.

Shoulder Crank Lunge

Rotate your fingertips open and back as your helper hand rotates your shoulder internally. Another stretch for your neck and shoulders.

Side Angle Slow Clap

Press your bottom arm to the inside of your leg to engage your back. Slowly slow clap your hands open and shut as you take deep breaths into your lungs.

Lung On Blocks

Can be done on blocks or standing in a doorway. Press your forearm into the blocks or doorframe to engage your chest muscles, then lean away to stretch your chest.
