This yoga exercise was effective because it relaxed and brought me to an active neutral state that was ideal for performing. The stretches straightened my spine, not making it rigid, it instead was flexible and relaxed. The same happened to my legs, they were not locked at the knees but bouncy and fluid.

At the start of the exercise I felt quite stiff, but after a while I warmed up and got used to the positions, it felt more natural and fluid this prepared me for the physically demanding milling exercise.  It also helped me be clear minded, focusing purely on the task. This benefited me during the milling exercise greatly.
