Transcript

Hi everyone and welcome to your practice today.

Once you are ready,

We will be starting in the Shavasana.

Finding a comfortable position on your back,

Taking up as much space as you need,

Bringing the feet back with the distance apart,

Allowing the toes to flop out to the side,

And just bringing the arms next to the body with the palms facing up.

Start to close your eyes if they aren't already.

Really allow yourself to grow heavy and bring yourself to stillness.

Just softening all the muscles,

Letting go of all that activation,

And shifting from an active doing state to a passive being state.

Your body melting into the floor,

Completely giving in,

Allowing the floor beneath you to support your body completely.

I would like you to take your attention to the centre of the abdomen,

Just above the navel.

Feel the breath here as you inhale and exhale.

If you have a few more moments,

I encourage you to stay in your Shavasana for a little bit longer.

At least five more breaths.

Intentional inhales and exhales.

When you are ready to come out of it,

Bring yourself back to your body,

Back to the space.

Slowly you can wake the body up,

Introducing some micro-movements into the joints,

The fingers,

The toes,

The wrists,

The ankles.

Maybe roughing the head from side to side.

I'm coming to lie onto any side.

Just roll onto any side.

Press yourself up to a comfortable seat.

Sitting up nice and tall,

You can bring the palms to touch Anjali Mudra.

As you inhale,

Inhale all of that balance and focusing energy we've just practised.

As you exhale,

Bow the forehead down to the fingertips.

Thank yourself for practising.

Thank your practice for what it has taught you today.

I extend that gratitude and appreciation to each one of you.

Thank you for joining me.

Have a lovely day.

Farnaamaste.
