Hey , what's up everyone ?
Welcome to the practice in today's class .
I will guide you through a pretty chill and gentle flow .
So it's still a flow practice .
We're still connecting the poses nicely .
We're still connecting everything to the breath and , but we're not doing any strong things in today .
Today's practice .
There's no long holds , no strong holds .
It's pretty much like a flowy stretching practice .
So we're focusing more on staying in the poses , feeling the lengthening of the different areas of the body and really connecting to that sensation with the breath in today's class .
We're focusing on the back line , lengthening the back line and also on twists when you're ready to begin .
Let's come on to the back for half of a , bring the heels close to the hips .
Take a moment here to just lay on your back arms down by your sides , close your eyes , feel the support underneath , you feel the weight of your body , notice the breath , the air coming in and out through your nose .
Let's set up your breath that works well for you nice and controlled deep breaths through the nose throughout the entire class .
Press into the heels , lift your hips up for bridge posts , just a little bit of , of activation in the glutes and the back line before the will continue with all gentle stretches and movements .
Maybe it's early morning for you and you want to activate the glutes in the back line .
First thing , maybe it's the middle of the day and you have been sitting a lot either way .
It's always good to activate the back line .
Let's stay for two more breaths , nice and full into the belly and release the hips down .
Very good .
Bring your knees together .
Don't move the feet .
Just stay there for a moment .
Let's cross the right ankle over the left thigh .
For figure four , reach through with your arms and your hands grab behind the thigh or the shin and then pull your legs towards you .
Keep your right foot flexed that that foot that's closest to you .
So you really want to see the toes pointing towards the knee , breathe into the area where you feel this pulse .
So you are using the breath to really go deep into the pulse .
We're not talking about physical depth , going deeper in the physical shape , but going deeper into the pose and the sensation and the presence of it with your awareness and your breath .
That means as you can imagine , you can , there's really no end .
There's infinite depth in every post , slowly release the left foot back down , keep the legs as they are or slide the right leg over the left thigh for a twist to the left , bring the legs over to the left side .
Scoot the hips to the right , extend the right arm away from you .
Breathe into the spine , travel a little bit deeper .
That'll be good .
Use your left hand to bring your legs back to center .
Come back to bridge , pose , heel , it close to the hips , lift the hips up , engage the roots , lift your hips up high and last deep breath in XL .
Release the hips down , figure four on the other side , pull the legs towards you .
Most important , keep those left toes flexed , reaching towards the left knee .
I like to flex both feet actually close your eyes and breathe .
We're here for about five more breaths , nasty breathing .
Excel release , twist to the right side , readjust your legs if you need to otherwise keep them as they are extend the left arm away from you .
Release , use your right hand to bring your legs back to center , hug both knees into the chest and let's come forward into a table top , cross your ankles , roll over the knees , come onto all fours unto the toes .
Few rounds of spinal segmentation , nice and slow cat cow start with cat around your back , roll from the base of the spine , slowly , slowly upwards into and then back to cat from the base of the spine upwards .
One more just like that .
Nice and slow .
Think about moving each butter spray .
That'll be good .
Sit back onto the heels , come onto the toes , slide the hands back , keep the arm straight , lean forward , shoulders , lean over the wrist , feel the wrists stay there for 54 .
Push the ground away .
Three to and one , lean back .
The fingertips are pointing outwards them to the right to the left , to the right to the left , one more each side back to neutral fingertips are pointing towards the knees and the hips back , lean back , keep the arms straight .
The palms lift up , breathe and feel into the forearms .
Bend the arms if you need to sit on the heel , shake out the hands beautiful jump .
Let's meet a downward facing dog .
Walk your dog if you want to , if you need to do whatever fields right in our first downward facing dog of the practice , connect deeper to the breath and let's meet in this pretty static downward facing dog .
The only thing moving is the breath .
Even the mind is still unclear , focused and lift your heels , bend your knees , walk your feet forward between the hands in .

Pull the belly in , reach your right arm forward place that right hand inside the right foot , release the left heel down side angle , reach your left arm up .
You can also come on blocks here if you want to with the hands or just on the fingertips .
I straighten the right leg , pivot both feet to the left for standing straddle forward , fold , fall down .
Mhm Keep the breath soft and you walk the hands underneath , you pull yourself a little bit deeper into it just so that it feels good that you feel the sensation in your body .
Take a deep breath in , lift up halfway , exhale spider lunch to the left scada and bend your left knee straight in the right , maybe with the hands or without set the hips down for half co face across the left leg over the right thigh .
Maybe that's where you are now .
Just bending the leg over the right thigh .
Maybe you can stack the knees fully , whatever it is , it doesn't matter .
We're all going for the same thing which is the sensation in the body and connecting to the breath , fold forward and down feel the sensation in the body invited .

Fully relax your body before we drift away , going deep into with our awareness and presence .
Before we go into this meditation on the back that synchronize our breaths .
You and I together with a Pranay called Sati where we inhale for five seconds , hold for five seconds .
Exhale for five seconds and hold again for five seconds and then repeat .
Let's start with five second count .
Exhale all the air out , start to inhale for 54321 .
Hold your breath 54321 .
Exhale 54321 .
Hold 54321 .
Inhale 54 321 .
Hold 54321 .
Exhale 54321 .
Hold 54321 .
Inhale for five .
Continue on your own .
So each part is five seconds .
Let's do two more rounds .
Continue counting in your own in your own thoughts .
We will finish up this breathing exercise after that .
Hold for five seconds after the exhale .
So whenever you get there , you exhale and then you hold for five and then come back to a normal breath .
Relax your body more all the tension you're still holding on to the shoulders , the chest , the fingers .
Can you let all of this be a bit heavier , more relaxed ?
