During the warm-up stretches, the professor taught us to breathe deeply and concentrate on the part of our body we wish to transport oxygen to. Doing this exercise called attention to the tension in my upper body. With each breath, my lower body remained limber while my upper body remained an abundance of overworked, stressed, tight muscles. It was almost like these muscles were asking for oxygen, and I felt them slowly loosen with each breath.
This exercise made me realize that my back needs to be stretched very much! Also the difference I felt before and after the breathing exercises -- in vitality -- is making me want to just take deeper breaths on a regular basis to suck in as much oxygen as possible. It is good stuff!!
I noted that my body tenses when I am speaking aloud and it takes a second or two to regain composure. I still don't entirely feel relaxed at any point when I'm speaking aloud in front of a group. That whole "control" subject matter that the professor was talking about is probably going to come into play in order to get me to speak naturally in front of a crowd.
