Transcript

This is a somatic yoga flow to music to feel suppressed or repressed emotions in our body. We'll create safety first and then create a ritual container in which you can express and move. To begin, Come to a comfortable seat. Seated on a cushion or the floor. We'll start with Sufi grind. Rocking the torso forward. And leaning back on your sits bones as you rock back, Making a C-curve in the low spine. Hands are on the knees. Slowing down your breath. I'm beginning to feel your thighs now. You are safe in this particular moment in time. You're practicing yoga. Stroking from the knee to the hip and the hip to the knee as you spiral the torso. Maybe saying, I am here. Taking the hands up your torso, Touching your physical body, Taking hands to opposite shoulder, Maybe giving yourself a hug as you spiral here. Stroking the arms from the shoulders to the wrist and the wrist to the shoulders. Allowing yourself to free form move. Stroking down the torso again. Caressing your thighs. And as you're ready, Transitioning to lie down. Coming to lie down on your back in constructive rest, Feet hip width apart, Knees to touch or legs long. Whatever feels good for you. You can take one hand to your heart and one hand to your belly and deepen your breath. Relax the jaw. And the tongue. Sense all the energy in your body moving towards the back plane. Where your skin is in contact with your clothes and the mat or the surface supporting you. Slow your breathing down. Maybe visualizing the brain like a clenched fist. And inviting it to unfurl. Unwind. Sliding the energy down the back of your neck from the brainstem. To the area behind your heart. Perhaps telling your heart. That it's safe to unfurl, Unclench. Relax. Sliding your awareness down to behind your navel. Telling your belly and gut to soften. Sensing the breath as the belly rises underneath your palms. Slowly drawing the right knee into the chest. Giving it a squeeze. And the last knee. And squeezing both knees into the chest, Rocking side to side, A little massage for the low back. And use this beat now to straighten the legs towards the ceiling. Roll the ankles, Roll the ankles. And you're going to take the heels to the seat or the thighs and just kick, Kick, Kick, Kick, Kick, Kick, Kick, Kick, Kick, Kick, Kick, Kick, Releasing some of that stagnant emotion in the body. Just kicking the heels to the seat. I like to take the arms up above my head. Kick, Kick, Kick. If you're not liking this, I invite you to shake the legs with the toes pointing straight toward the ceiling. So just a little shake, Shake. Shakin' the life. Shake em hard! Go back to kicking. And shaking. Keeping the breath deep. A little bit of stomping now, So stomp the feet on the ground underneath your knees. Like a little kid having a tantrum. Let this feel good on your low back. Maybe you waddle a little side to side. Yeah. Maybe you get the fists involved. Pound the floor. Get it all out. Pull the knees into the chest. Big squeeze. Hold the breath. Exhale, Let it all go. Coming back up to a sit. Alright, We're going to have the left arm up and the right arm down. This is the inhale position. Exhale, Right arm up. So find a rhythm with this, It should look like this. Inhale, Left arm lifts. Exhale, Right arm lowers. So it's like a seesaw. Make this exhalation forceful out the nose. This is your opportunity to get some aggression out, But we're here in a more structured way. Stay with it, We're not here long. Find Your Rhythm. Inhale, Exhale. Inhale, Exhale. Last three, Two, One. Interlace the hands. You're making a fist with the fingers interlaced. Thumbs are on top. I'm going to do a wood chopper here. So just like you're cutting something in front of you, Chopping your way through. Put the emotion into this. A forcible exhale through the nose each time the fists come down. Give it all you got, Last little bit, Really chop. Inhale big. Hold, Suspend the breath. Puff the belly out. Keep the breath held in the body. Hold the breath as long as you can. And when you need to, Exhale through an O-shaped mouth. Inhale deeply. Hold the breath as long as you can. Puff the belly out. Push your pelvic floor down. Exhale through an O-shaped mouth as you need to. Good, Last time, Inhaling big. Finding the stillness. Squeeze the spine. O-shaped mouth. Nice. Find those Sufi grinds we opened with now. Rotating the torso in the bowl of the pelvis. Maybe connecting with the physical body, Stroking the thighs again. Option to come into a little side bend, Left hand down, Right arm reaches up and over. You can roll the wrist. Other side. Roll the top wrist. Take both hands in front of you. Option for a little cat cow. Maybe you just want to wag the hips side to side or make some circles with the hips. Downward facing dog. Press through one heel and then the other. Mmm, I'm feeling into the hamstrings. Walking the feet and hands towards one another, Deeply bend the knees, Chin into the chest, And hang. I want you to bounce the knees here. So just little bounce in the seat and the knees. If you want you can flutter the lips. Should feel good on the low back, Your heavy head, Heavy torso tractioning the low back, Deep bend in the knees. Use the music to find a little bounce in the seat, Bounce in the knees. We're going to bounce our way to stand, Keeping the knees bent. Bounce, Bounce, Bounce. Bounce, Bounce, Bounce, Roll up. Chin into chest, Head is last thing to come up. Once you get up, Little bouncing. You can shake the wrist if you want. Keep the balance going in the seat and the knees. Big exhale out the mouth. To make it audible. Shaking off whatever emotion you don't need anymore. Your body doesn't have to hold it anymore. A little bouncing. Keep the bounce. If you want to roll down, Chin into chest and bounce in the forward fold again, Feel free. Meeting in a stand. Shaking out the wrists if you haven't yet Maybe fluttering the lips. Taking one hand to the heart, One hand to the belly. Finding a little sway here. Feeling the energy you've generated in your body in such a short time. Maybe the energy you discharge. Come back to this routine every day as much as you can for a short, Powerful somatic release. Namaste.
