I'm just working through the material and offering some feedback. Lesson 4 does delve into the realm of feels (as will inevitably happen when breath is incorporated into most movement-based learning), and it can become a bit tangled at that point.
Reverse breath can be explored 'functionally' from a relaxed crunch (legs extended) with the hands held (palms facing like holding a ball) at 3/4 arms-length above the throat/upper chest. It can be further explored from the same partial/relaxed crunch while placing one of your heels on the floor and the opposite palm (left heel & right palm - slight bend in the grounded leg and arm), and lightly pushing/lifting against the floor equally with both.
