Flying Swan
Lift your arms, lift your mood.
Objective
To elevate mood and re-energize the body through a simple, rhythmic movement practice.
Problem Statement
Feeling emotionally off-low, unmotivated, or flat-can create a sense of disconnection and lethargy during the day.
Solution Provided

The Science
