Start your day by slowly waking up the body, connecting to your life force - the breath and open up your energy centers with these easy stretches. Spend 30 seconds to 2 minutes in each posture to receive the most benefit of each stretch. Happy stretching!

Gentle hip and shoulder opener. Take knees wide and touch your big toes together, then sink back towards your heels. For more sensation, place a block or pillow between one or both arms.

Child’s Pose

From child’s pose, roll the body forward into an Upward Facing Dog but keep the knees wide and point your toes towards the back of your head. Then roll back and repeat, breath to movement. You can drop your head all the way back here for more opening in the front of the body.

Child’s to Seal Pose Sequence

Try 1-2 minutes on each side - direct the breath behind the shoulder blades.

Thread the Needle

Move slow and intuitively as you create space through the spine and posterior muscles. Add creative movement to honor your bodies needs.

Cat-Cow Sequence

Make this as shallow or deep as you please. Option to sit on a pillow or yoga block for more comfort. Move slowly and with the breath.

Seated Side Body Stretch

Sitting cross-legged or 1/2 or full lotus, surrender the body over the legs to release the low back. Keep neck and head relaxed and heavy.

Seated Fold

Use blocks or hands to support you. Flow through this slowly or in a rhythmic pattern. Stay full 1-2 minutes before switching sides. *Use downward dog as your transition.

Modified Low a lunge to 1/2 Split

Stay upright on the palm or place your forearm down on the mat or a block for more sensation.1-2 minutes per side.

Lizard Lunge with twist

Use a block or pillow if this pose is challenging to settle into - you can place it beneath your open hip OR place it beneath your hands or forearms for a more active posture. 2 minutes per side

1/2 Pigeon

Legs extended this time - you may have a bent knee for release of the low back, or use a strap to hook around the feet for a more active approach.

Seated Forward Fold

Lie flat, draw one knee into your chest and gentle rotate to the opposite side of your mat. For added assistance, hook your knee beneath your bottom leg to create a little bit of traction.

Supine Twist

Great instruction but would really love some BG music to up the vibe. Feel like you also need to use lighter weights so you can demo properly and move more timely through the sets instead of swinging your weights and stopping to rest 🙏
Thank you

Obviously I love all of your classes but this was a little different. Im feel tighter than usual this morning so I should have done a little warm up before hand but I like how it’s short and sweet and it covered majority of the body which I like.

Michelle

Loved this! More workouts, please?🙏😅

I liked it but it was a little confusing so I just did my own thing. I did each workout 3 times - 35 sec on 20 sec rest, before moving on to the next workout, but I didn’t know where the 1 min rest came in. I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to do that at the end of each set or if I was supposed to do each workout consecutively, but do three rounds of that? I just didn’t do the 1 min rest, it worked out though. Also for the abs, it didn’t give you the option for a 20 sec rest. Either way, I am spent. Thanks!
