Features: This book introduces you to unique-style stretching exercises and basic ballet tutorials. Those who think, "My body isn't flexible" or "I don't have ballet experience," can easily master the tutorials by following the order from Chapter 1 to Chapter 3. From the inside out, you can shape a flexible and perfect body curve. Additionally, this book incorporates the lifestyles of breathtaking ballet dancers on stage into our daily lives, sharing the secrets to achieving a beautiful figure. This stretching exercise differs from traditional methods that forcefully stretch muscles or tendons, as it doesn't add extra burden to the body. Instead, it focuses on slowly relaxing and liberating the body. By adjusting the alignment of the spine while training the deep core muscles of the body—so-called core muscles—you can shape a graceful figure from within. Through the ballet tutorials introduced in this book, you will not only gain a beautiful appearance but also achieve true beauty that comes from within. Moreover, it will help relieve and relax the stiff body and tense mind caused by daily stress and busyness.
