When practicing these exercises, consciously develop an understanding of the basic principles. Knees are roughly three fists apart, toes touch in back.
Hands rest lightly on the thighs.

The mind should feel both expansive and stable. The point is to warm up the torso and to start feeling the one point and correct posture.
