  4. Maintain balance and controlled breathing

About Blend Circles

Blend Circles combines a forward lunge stance with a circular arm path. Begin with the right foot forward and settle the stance before moving the arms. Keep the feet in place while the hands travel around the body.

What to focus on

  • Set the feet before beginning the arm circle.
  • Keep the torso tall through the back part of the circle.

Make the movement smaller

Shorten the stance and reduce the arm circle. Watch the full demonstration before adding both parts together.

A mistake to watch for

Letting a large arm sweep pull the body out of its stance. Make the circle smaller.

Practice time and pacing

The app assigns 30 seconds to Blend Circles. Use that as a time block, with pauses whenever you need them. Move at the demonstration’s controlled pace; the timer is not a repetition target. Watch the full movement once before following along.
