MIRROR EXERCISE #2

Exercise Beginner 15 min 4–4

Description

In this exercise, participants divide into two sub-teams. One sub-team acts as the mirror while the other initiates all movements. The initiating sub-team must agree on an activity that involves both players and demonstrates clear movement.

After a set time, roles are reversed. The goal is for the mirror team to perfectly reflect the movements of the initiating team.
