So starting lying down on the back,

Space between the heels,

Turning the palms of the hands up.

Just have a gentle little shuffle and just make sure that everything is as flat as possible.

Now let's see if we can lengthen through the spine.

So just bringing that chin just a little bit in towards the body.

Now feel that lens through the back of the neck,

Let's close the eyes and allow everything to become really,

Really soft.

And then I'm going to introduce UJ breathing,

Which is just a little bit of a constriction in the throat,

Just so that you can make it a little bit more audible and more of a sensation to focus on.

Now to put a little bit more effort into breathing in so you can become really focused on what's going on as you breathe it in and out.

I'm just starting off just by noticing the breath.

Allow the shoulders to soften even further into the mat.

Let's take that breath a little bit deeper.

I'm just going to see how,

Add an account to the breath feels.

So breathing in for four,

Holding for five at the top and then exhaling for six.

See how that feels.

Fantastic,

Well done.

Just bringing some awareness back into the body.

Focusing on the next few breaths,

Taking the breath deep into the body and then maybe just having a tiny bit of movement,

Maybe around the shoulders.

And let's bring the arms above the head,

Let's go in for a really deep stretch.

Drawing them back down again and then just getting on to the side,

Bringing the knees in,

Just having a couple of breaths before getting ourselves up into a seated position where the back is fine,

It's nice and straight,

Closing the eyes,

Bringing the hands together.

And then breathing into the heart space,

Activating gratitude,

Sensation of gratitude in that chest.

Thank you so much,

Have a wonderful day.

Namaste.
