    <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Transform how you move and feel in under ten minutes!  You are guided to lie on your back with your knees bent and explore using breath awareness to quiet your nervous system and relax all parts of your torso.  Then, you are invited to explore activating the abdominal muscles by gently adding resistance to your exhalation and straightening your legs.     I use this as a way to slow down and de-stress as well as for a 'warm-up'  before I exercise.  Enjoy! ]]></itunes:summary>
