If you're new around here , hit that subscribe button so that you don't miss out and go grab your mats and let's do that .

All right , let's get things moving .

Let's get started down on our backs , find a comfortable position .

When you're laying down , those knees can be bent .

You're starting with a couple of gentle breaths out into the sides of your rib cage , maybe down into your belly and observe what's happening .

Observe where the breath goes and trying to keep it out of your chest .

Breathing is really important with our digestion because it can also help get things moving .

Let's start off by bringing those knees towards your chest and just gently rocking from side to side , continue with that same breathing .

So when we don't take gentle breaths in or if we hold our breath that grips and makes everything really tight and it would help get things moving good .

Maybe you start to do little circles with your knees also feels like a nice massage along your low back and then maybe you're gently switching directions of those circles .

Notice what happens as those knees come closer in towards your chest and on that next exhale , you'll bring everything to a still and then pull everything all the way up , curl your chin up towards your chest .

Nice , gentle breath .

You can rock coming all the way up and then we're gonna grab hold of that right leg , lengthen your left leg out or you can keep that left knee bent with the foot on the ground and the same thing just gently rocking back and forth .

You can also grab that knee from underneath if that's more comfortable .

I take a nice breath in maybe on your exhale , you curl all the way up , inhale or back down one more time .

A hell curl lift all the way up and then lower back down .

We're gonna come into half happy babies .

You're gonna take that right knee and drive your right knee down to your right shoulder .

Your foot is going to be facing the ceiling .

And if you would like , you can grab the outside of that foot , so that knee is still coming down towards your armpit and just very gentle little rocks from side to side , still using your breath , nice , gentle breath .

So hand can be on that foot or behind the back of your knee opening up our hips continuing to use your breath good .

Take one more nice breath in here .

He let it go .

Then you're gonna place both feet back down on the ground , move your feet .

So they're about matt distance apart and let the knees rock to the left side and then over towards the right side , left side , continue with that breath .

Maybe you're starting to hear some gurgling noises that stomach is starting to move .

Things are moving through our intestines good .

And now we're just gonna switch sides .

So you're gonna take that left knee , grab hold of your left knee , either on top or behind the back of the knee .

That right leg can stay bent or you can have it out straight and just doing those gentle circles back and forth from side to side .

Nice breath in exhale .

Let it go .

Ok ?

Take another nice breath in exhale .

Let it go on that next exhale .

Maybe you curl yourself , come all the way up and then lower back down on that inhale .

And then again , exhale , curl everything up and then bring it back down coming into half happy baby .

So you're gonna grab behind the back of that left knee and pull the left knee towards your left arm pit or grab hold of the outside of that left foot coming into that half happy baby .

Right leg can be out straight or you could also have that leg bent and the same thing we're just gently rocking from side to side and things to loosen up , contain you with that breath .

Nice , gentle breath in exhale .

Let it go .

Good .

We'll take one more brack in here .

Exhale .

Let it go and then take that leg , place that leg back down , bend both those knees one more time .

This time , we're gonna head over towards the right hand side first and then lift up and over towards the left hand .

Really breathe out into the sides of the rib cage down into that belly .

Nice breath in exhale .

Let it go .

Oh Here we're gonna roll onto our stomachs .

We're gonna take the yoga mat and you're gonna roll your yoga mat up .

If you don't have a yoga mat , you could also use a towel or a blanket or a small pillow and we're just gonna roll that up .

So it's about three inches , 2 to 3 inches and we're gonna take the mat and place it just below our belly button across our lower abdomen .

You're gonna lower all the way down onto that .

Press yourself up onto those forearms .

Nice , gentle breath in .

You're gonna pull yourself forward , lift up and then you're gonna giant lower back down .

Use your breath in and out of this press lift , come up , breathe into it , push that stomach into the mat and then exhale , let the mat sink into your stomach .

You , he press up , exhale , let it go in how press into those arms , pull yourself live up , exhale back down .

Good .

Last time .

Press lift all the way up .

Now , we're gonna mix things up a little bit .

So you're pressing up .

But this time I want you to round out , pull your chin in towards your chest , round through your mid back and then pull yourself forward , lift up , exhale , press into your forearms round out into your chest and then pull yourself forward .

Good press rounded out one more time pool yourself , come forward , you're gonna lower all the way down .

You can bring those forearms straight out in front and just let your head rest down towards the ground and you're gonna work on those gentle breaths , push your stomach into the yoga mat on that inhale .

And then on the exhale , let that mat sink into your stomach .

Nice , gentle breath in exhale .

Let it go one more just like this nice , gentle breath in exhale .

Let it go .

So option is to stay here and continue with your breath and getting that pressure , the feed back from the mat or you can take your right arm straight out towards the side .

You can come up onto those left fingertips and then we're gonna take our left leg , lift your left leg up and over behind you .

And it's just gonna move that mat over more towards that right , lower abdominal area .

Nice , gentle stretch in the front of that right arm and you're breathing into it nice and gentle and he'll try and push that stomach and the right side into the mat .

Exhale , your sinking into it .

Good , nice , gentle breath in exhale .

You're just noticing these little things on this side for when we switch to our other side so that you can compare nice , gentle breath in exhale .

Let it go .

Nice and slowly unwinding here coming flat back down onto the mat and then we're just gonna switch sides .

So you're gonna take your left arm straight out towards the side , come up on to those right fingertips and then that right leg is gonna lift up and back behind .

You , put your head rest down , the mat moves over towards the left side and just notices one side a little bit more tender than the other .

It's a little easier to breathe on one side than the other .

You're starting to hear noises coming from your stomach , which is awesome .

That means things are starting to move .

Can you contain me with that gentle breath ?

Just notice a subtle little differences left side to right side in your hips in the low pack in the front of your chest .

Nice .

Just take one more breath in here .

Hell , let it all go and then gently rolling back on to your stomach .

We're gonna roll that mat back out and then come back down onto your back .

Getting nice and comfortable here with that head , get heavy and you're gonna take your hands , use your fingertips .

And we'll start on the right side below our belly button on the right and you're just gonna put some firm pressure down on your abdomen .

I'm just doing little circles starting on that right lower side .

And you're just looking if things feel tender , if it feels like hard pressure underneath , and you're doing these little circular motions all the way along that right side .

And we're working our way up towards our rib cage and just observing what you're feeling , gentle , little circles .

And then we're gonna slowly start to make our way across our stomach across that abdomen over towards the left side .

Maybe there's some difference from left side to your right side .

One side is a little more tender than the other .

Do you find a spot that feels a little hard or you can hold it there ?

These gentle circles working your way back down to that left to lower side and then we're gonna go across that lower abdomen just making a really big circle while we're making little circles with our fingers .

Ok ?

And if you wanted , you can continue that again .

Yeah , maybe you go back to where you found one of those spots and it's going all the way around last time .

And then we're gonna bring those knees to your chest again .

Give yourself that nice big hug .

Pull everything up , curl nice big ball , gently rock from side to side and then lower everything all the way back down , place those feet on the ground , gentle rock to the left side and then over towards that right side and then we're gonna roll all the way on to our left side .

Press yourself , come all the way up and let's take one last cleansing breath in .

Lift those arms up , overhead , exhale , bring your hands down towards heart center .
