Yoga Sequence 1 - Try something with me 🧡✌️

✨️ This practice is the first full yoga sequence I have recorded. My nerves for being on camera show up in tongue-tied cues, but I will improve with my practice. 🪷 The arc of this practice looks like: ○ We start seated, warming up our upper body. ○ We move into some kneeling poses. Participants with knee concerns can limit the breaths they take in a pose and add a blanket under knees for extra comfort. ○ Sun Salutations transition us from one side to the next. Or from one set to the next. ○ We move through Warrior 2, Peaceful Warrior, and Extended side Angle to open up our hips and sides as we bend and reach. ○ Standing neutral in Warrior 1, we reflect and hone in on our power and strength. ○ Tree pose balances us when we need to root down. Yet, we grow our branches (arms) out and maybe reach out for unity. ○ Forward folds are relaxing and help us stretch out tension or stiffness. ○ Backbends strengthen the core while opening thw chest as it activates the back. ○ Strecting to open and release any energy that is stored and not purposeful. ○ Savasana is a chance to rest and be still. Aware of your breath and letting go of any thoughts in the moment. I hope you feel more present, relaxed, and freed from stress. Yoga is useful for self-awareness and self-regulation. 🧡✌️
