3 ways to improve your Meel Swing. Learn to coordinate the Meel swing with breathing, body rotation and footwork to become one with your Persian Meels.

Rhythmic Breathing

We all have an internal rhythm set by our regular breathing patterns. We may not pay attention to it, and often do not act in sync with it. The rhythm is always there and it becomes clear when we exercise, run or jog. We all become more efficient as the breathing pattern emerges.
