Each explores different elements and principles of the technique, including: - Training your mind to stay present, and mindful of your environment- Thinking (but not overthinking!) in new ways- Observing and developing your natural poise - Sitting, standing and walking easily and effortlessly- Breathing and speaking with release and relaxation- Applying all of your work to characterisation and performance
