When we emphasize the five building blocks (Body, Breath, Mind, Energy and Spirit) while practicing each posture or move we stimulate and activate our energetic system, creating a stronger flow of energy that increases circulation, removes stagnation, and nourishes the internal organs, the spine, the brain, the bones, the joints, and the soft tissues. Reaching deep levels of relaxation from both the deep breathing and the meditation will further spread the energy to every cell in your body. This strong energy flow is important for both Health and Martial Arts.
