Hi everyone. I have a have about 15 minutes that I want to spend in this mat. Class is really short math class today with y'all. Um, thanks for being here and I don't know about you, but this time of year we're coming up on the holidays. It's getting really busy and hectic and I, I wanted to bring in one of the principals of [inaudible] into my practice today and I want you to join me with this. It's the concentration principle. So when all else fails and the world's getting hectic and crazy, I just want to just really focus and concentrate today and I'm glad you're here with me. So let's go ahead and get started. Let's all begin with concentrating on our breathing. So take your hands, place them right by the side of your ribs, right? No plots, practices without a good focused, concentrated breath.

So let's take five together. Take a deep breath in and [inaudible] ah, another breath. Nice and breathe. Easy breath, filling up those lungs, filling up the sides of your ribs, filling up the back of your ribs and exhale and again, a nice deep breath in focus. Concentrate and x. Hear that damaged. I'm hearing sounds in here. Sounds like voices. Okay. I need to breathe. I need to concentrate. Probably just need to move. So join me. Come on, let's turn around.

Let's take some pelvic curl guys. We're a little half rollback. Take a nice deep breath again. We've already warmed up. [inaudible] rolling. Yeah, feel concentrate. Okay. I think I just saw something walked by the window and now I'm kind of getting a little freaked out here. I think I need a harder exercise to focus on.

I'm going to move into a side bend that always requires a lot of my concentration. Okay, so just join me. Go ahead and place one hand down. Take your legs out to the side. Get your shoulders really steady. Here we go. Take that opposite arm out to the side. Take a nice deep breath and let's go ahead everybody and just stretch up. Take one. Nice slow reach.

Concentrate in the steadiness of your support arm. Shoulder blade. Mm. Okay, so this really creepy [inaudible] do you say dad? I swear there's a cost to me. Oh, right there. Now there's a cost in the room right now. I'm not kidding. You know what? I'm just going to work on my back muscles focusing on my back. I'm just going to get into the back extension.

What's a really good one is just like a basic flight. I know that I can go there. I can really concentrate, so take a nice deep. Yeah, breath. However they had an a chest to stretch her arms. Long buyer's sides. Feeling the length of the spine, your length of the arms. Another breath in. Exhale. Rotate your arms. Fault. Palm space down and wide in your arms. Is that your teeth position?

No. I know it was something. If there, I completely feel a presence in the room and it's right above me. This is getting freaky. Oh my God. Now it just touched me. Okay, what the hell is going on here is heard things and we're seeing things. There's Halloween. I'm really freaked out. Joe. Clara. Mr Bones, happy Halloween.

Halloween Wouldn't be the same without Amy's Halloween class! That's about what happens to me on a normal day when I'm trying to concentrate. Too many distractions. Anyway thank you and happy Halloween!
