Angry cat
Stand up, bend forward with your legs and arms straight and touch the floor. Keep this position and walk with your legs backward and then forwards until you walk through between your hands. And back. (By Ming Li)
Pushing or pulling hands
Two children stretch their arms and stand face to face holding their hand palms to each other. They push to move the other child from its position. The one who first makes a step looses.
To get strength and also to learn to adapt to the other person's pull and energy.
Variation: Instead of pushing, pull!
Catch the wind
Stand like a tree and move your arms simultaneously waving up above your head and down again. Imagine that your arms are branches with leaves catching wind energy.
This exercise is to stretch your body but also a beginner's exercise to learn to take in good energies from nature.
Children - The walking bridge
Lay yourself on your back and place your hand palms on the floor above (behind) your shoulders, near your head. Walk your hands closer to your feet until your body makes a bridge with the belly upwards.
I cannot do this exercise myself but i sometimes try.
Swirling stretches
In standing position, swirl one arm as far as you can around your body, on different heights of the body. Then swing the arm in the opposite direction around your body.
Do the same with your legs.
