Relaxing
Q: What should I do to become relaxed before practicing?
A: First, take a few deep breaths. Inhale through the nose and then exhale through the mouth. Doing some basic stretches and joint warms ups are a great way to loosen up as well. Try to calm your mind of any distractions (turn off your phone). Listening to relaxing music always helps. I recommend classical music. You can dim the lights and darken the practice space too. This has a nice calming effect on the body. All of these things will help get you into a relaxed state of mind so that you can practice effectively and efficiently.
