Working in partners to explore the rib cage while Joe works with his partner, the skeleton! Actually I am Joe's teaching partner and also have been teaching this training but since I'm the one with the camera there are no pics of me...

This morning Joe guided students in feeling their bellies in preparation for practicing Kapalabhati.

Then class is over for the day. 4 hours each morning and then we go out into the world and take our breathing with us, sharing it with every other breathing being who lives in this vast ocean of air.
