Welcome to Pilates in Prayer. Let's pray. God, We thank you for your presence upon us during this class that we may feel your peace and your love. Amen. In today's class, You can use a ball if you have one. However, You also do not need this. In this class, We'll just have relaxing music and a timer with a bell. So follow along, Relax, Regulate your nervous system. Let's get started. Beautifully done, Coming into some stretching. You can do some cat cow or come back into child's pose. Allowing yourself to completely soften any tension. And enjoying. A greater stillness in your mind and your heart. As you breathe. And take these final moments of class to be still. And to know. As you're ready, You may come up to seated, Give your arms a stretch. Bringing one leg out to the side and folding up and over. And as you're ready, Switching sides. And coming to face friends. Folding over forward to get a stretch in your hips. Switching sides, Bring your other leg in front. Making your way to a comfortable prayer position. God, Thank you for this time to cultivate greater presence, Stillness, And well-being in our bodies, In our minds, And in our hearts. We ask for this energy to be with us as we go through the rest of our day. Amen. Thank you for practicing with me today, For being here.
