Mirror Excersise

This is an excersise that is essentially a set of four postures that repeat themselves, and are then performed in mirror. Perform one side - swap full/empty foot/front arm and perform other side. Breathing should be slow and in (yin) for inwards movements, out (yang) for outward movements. Repeat excersise as many times as you wish.
