Good morning,
Friends.
Let's begin this practice on our backs,
Laying down either in the bed or on the floor.
And draw your knees into your chest.
Perhaps you find some gentle rocking side to side.
Find a massage for the lower back.
And just breathe.
Option to tuck your forehead in towards your knees before releasing the head back down.
And finding your supine spinal twist,
Dropping the knees over to the right.
Option to allow the right hand to rest onto the knees.
And take the gaze over the left shoulder.
Find deep breaths here as you release through the spine.
Lifting the knees back through center,
Take it to the other side.
Perhaps the gaze goes over the right shoulder.
Lift the knees back to center,
Bringing the hands on top of the knees and begin to find circles.
So it's taking the knees around,
Releasing through the hips.
A few times in one direction.
Before going the opposite way.
When you're ready,
Slowly make your way up to tabletop position,
Coming to hands and knees.
Begin to move through a couple of rounds of cat and cow.
So as you inhale,
Chest draws forward,
Gaze goes up.
And as you exhale,
Press the ground away,
Tuck your chin to chest.
Moving back and forth between these two movements at the pace of your breath.
From here,
We'll end in a grounding child's pose,
Sinking your hips to your heels.
Taking a few grounding breaths before you enter your day.
Maybe.
Setting an intention or lifting up a brief prayer.
In this moment.
And when you're ready.
Enter back into your day.
