I'm Kevin Bowlin and we're going to do a little fusion mat class. So we're going to do some floor work first for about a half an hour, not quite, and then we're going to do some standing for work as well. So a little bit of amended eight amended mad class, not mended, but amended Matt Class. So why don't we start on our mats lying down supine. [inaudible] bending your knees, bring your knees together so that your legs are touching.

And let's just do a little creative movement here. Just drop your knees side to side to get a little movement through your body. If you want, you can open your arms out to the side. That's fine. Wherever you feel comfortable. This is just a little exploratory movement. Very good. Try a couple of more to each side.

When you're finished with those couple, come back to the center. Separate your legs a little bit so your knees and your Asi es line up and drop your knees side to side again, four more. Two on each side. Excellent. Come back to the center. Keep your legs in that position. Take your hands and put them across your chest.

Inhale to prepare and exhale. Just peel off roundup and look between your legs. Hold it there for four, three, two, and one roll back down again. Inhale, exhale, peel off. Round up. Keep the abdominal zen. Keep it nice and strong and release and go back down. This time, peel off roundup. Come there. Hold the position. Extend your arms and legs out.

Now that's it. Hold it for four, three, two, and one. Bend your knees and roll your body back down. Good. This time. Inhale. Exhale. Roll it up. Extend your arms, leave your legs as they are, but one leg at a time with your right leg up and drop it down. Lift your left leg up and drop it down.

Right leg up and down. Left leg up. Keep the abdominals in. Keep pressing the back down, up and down, up and release. Inhale and exhale and release your upper body down. Very good. Now what I want you to do is to roll over to the right side. Just kinda roll. Hold it there and then roll onto your back and roll onto the left side and let the whole body go with you. So just take it over, stretch, and then come back and let's do the other side. Go back to the right, roll it over. Stretch. Go back to the left, roll it over and stretch. Excellent.

Go back one more time to each side. Good. Stretch it out. And last time, find a comfortable place for you. Stretch it out, bring it back to the center. Excellent. What I'd like you to do now is to roll over onto your stomach. Okay. Take your arms and cross them in front of you like so.

So they're kind of crossed over and put your head down and then present to your arms and lengthen your head out and come up into a little back extension. And you can press down into your arms as you do this. And exhale and return. And again, press into your arms, lift up into extension and returned down. And again, press into your arms.
