Welcome to this gentle yoga in bed.
My name is Lina.
This is a somatic therapy to release tension,
Soften the body and calm the mind.
I'll guide you through your body with love and care.
Let's begin in a comfortable seated position with your legs crossed.
A gentle warm-up for the neck.
Slowly roll your head from side to side,
Staying fully present with each motion.
If you feel tension,
Slow down.
And breathe into that space.
And gently stretch to the right.
If any thoughts arise.
Simply return to your breath.
Enjoy the sensations in your body.
Be here and now.
Inhale to center.
Exhale to the left side.
Inhale,
Arms rise through the sides.
Exhale.
Lower your right shoulder for a twist.
Inhale.
And exhale.
Inhale,
Rise.
Exhale,
Twist to the left.
Simply observe your breath,
Inhaling and exhaling through your nose.
Inhale.
Rise.
Now,
Begin circular movements with your arms on your knees.
With every breath.
Allow your body to soften and open.
Reach your right arm up.
Into a twist.
Open the chest.
Inhale.
And exhale.
Lower your chin toward your chest.
Switch sides.
Left arm reaches up and back.
Breathe into this twist.
Inhale.
And exhale.
You are doing great.
Return to center.
Open the chest.
With your arms on your knees.
Inhale.
And exhale.
Return to center.
Your arms are gently bent at a 90 degree angle.
Open the chest.
Inhale.
And exhale.
Clasp your hands behind your back.
Pull the arms back gently.
Open the chest.
Bring the shoulder blades together.
Relax the neck and shoulders.
Inhale.
And exhale.
Switch side.
Beautiful.
Now interlace your fingers and bring your hands behind your head.
Gently lower your chin toward your chest.
Open the chest.
And gently rotate the head.
Staying fully present with each motion.
Return to center to your knees.
Clasp your hands behind your back.
Pull the arms back gently.
Open the chest.
Bring the shoulder blades together.
Inhale.
And exhale.
Fold forward.
Gently lower your chin toward your chest.
Breathe here.
Now return to center and lower into child's pose.
Extend the arms forward.
Widen the knees,
If that feels good.
Rest here.
Feel the support of the earth beneath your body.
Let yourself melt.
Inhale.
And exhale.
Lift up gently.
Inhale.
Open the chest.
Exhale.
Lower your chin toward your chest.
Repeat the movement in the rhythm of your breath.
Come up slowly into a comfortable cross-legged seat.
Inhale,
Arms rise through the sides.
Exhale,
Bring your palms together at your heart.
Take a deep inhale.
And with an exhale,
Open your eyes.
Thank you for sharing this practice with me.
I hope to see you soon.
