Remember: Breathe!


 Removing the “hollow back”/ arched back.

Stance & POSTURE, the first steps in the NTS training combine with Breathing .
 We start the “Posture” with hips tucked under/rotated up, dropping the chest down, then settling the weight down into the hips. This is the initial position before the “barrel of the gun” position which is at set-up, with both shoulders remaining down, and draw hand is about cheek height. Breathing should be as consistent as the other elements of your "process". Timing is a big part of the steps you are going through. If you start by taking a deep breath and holding it, then pull back the bow string, you will find that you are "up in your chest" and lose the flat back and center core stability. Breathing should be timed to bring air in as you open the bow, and slowly let about half of it out as you come to rest at full draw anchor.

We will work on breathing and dropping shoulders down, tucking hips up, for nice flat backs.
