Walk away feeling released tension in lower abdomen, peaceful mind, grounded, and emotionally stable with space and energy for meditation.

The emphasis throughout your practice can be on softening your lower abdominal cavity, grounding your feet into the earth, building strength and stability, and allowing yourself sufficient rest after your practice.
