"Take a couple of minutes to consciously breathe. Breathe in and out the nose. Feel the expanse and collapse of your chest. Gradually start to maximize the breath, taking deeper, longer inhales followed by complete exhales. Try to connect the inhales and exhales seamlessly, leaving less space for the thinking mind to get in the way. Now, close your eyes. Continue on for a few more cycles. Don't you just feel better? More settled?"  Yoga Vibes

During this evening's practice, use the breath to make the transitions as seamless as possible. We'll practice a tricky transition between tree and Warrior I several times. A steady control of the breath is the key to the body's transition between poses.
