Bae's class starts with different series of exercises designed to bring an acute attention to the body's center, especially focusing on the kidneys as a source of explosive power. Beginning by observing the breath and the movement of the diaphragm, the class quickly transitions into games and exercises designed to harness the breath's power. These tasks range from the slow and measured to the dynamic and intense; flip your entire body from lying on your stomach to lying on your back in one movement; spring up to standing from lying on your side; relax your standing body forward and towards the floor and then pop up to a poised, motionless releve after a 180 degree turn; literally levitate yourself 6 inches off of the floor from a prone position using only the power of your breath. This class has everything and somehow manages to propose these volatile tasks in stable, grounded techniques that discourage injury and danger. The techniques you will see and practice in this class will blow your mind. Seriously. When you see this man magically levitate off of the floor without moving any of his body, just by exhaling forcefully, you will think he is superhuman. He is. But if you take this class, you can be, too. (Or at least maybe his sidekick).
