Hello and welcome to your 10 minute Yin Yoga flow for stress.
This practice is ideal for all levels.
It's great if you only have a short amount of time and need to find your calm.
Stretch away tension in the muscles.
Take a few deep breaths here to ground yourself into your practice.
And then when you feel ready,
Make your way down into Child's Pose.
Taking the tools together.
The knees mat distance apart.
On your next exhale,
Begin to walk the arms forwards.
We're going to take a twist here.
To thread the left arm underneath the right.
And take the left temple to the ground.
Make any adjustments in the pose so that you can be here comfortably for the next few moments.
It's a good time to use any props.
To support the head.
We want to feel comfort here.
As we enjoy a gentle twist.
Allow your attention to drift to the breath.
With a Jake's heel.
Allow the spine to unravel and the tension remains in it.
Let go of any stress you've built up.
New lives.
About 30 seconds left here before we move to the opposite side.
Begin to deepen your grace.
Begin to extend the exhales.
Mentally prepare to move.
Taking three to five more slow deep breaths here.
And lingering in the pose as long as you wish before you very slowly and gently Lift your head.
And cross your arms.
Take the possession to the opposite side.
Threading the right arm underneath the left.
Just as you did with the first side.
Take this time to make any adjustments,
Use any props to allow you to settle here.
And feel comfortable and supported.
We're going to prepare to move to a short rebound pose.
Where you can rest on your back.
Wisdom.
Of a position will allow you to take a chance to rest.
When you're next,
Inhale,
Carefully unravel the arms.
Make your way to your rebound position.
Rebound allows us a chance to check back in with the breath.
To notice any changes within the textures of the body.
Allow your focus to drift.
To the braids.
To the spine,
Grooming,
Working.
With twists.
As this is a short rebound position we're going to now make our way onto our back for banana pose.
So coming to lie down.
Taking your hopes over to the light side of your minds.
The legs and feet to the bottom right corner.
Proper body to the top right corner.
Arms can be stretched over your head.
Where you can rest them down by your side.
Feel free to use any props to support the arms.
Make this position as comfortable as possible for you.
We're hoping to feel a stress in the tissue down the left side of the body.
When we compress the tissues on the right side.
We've got about a minute left here before we move to the opposite side.
So again,
Mentally preparing to move forward.
Long before we actually make any physical movements.
And begin by deepening the breath.
Extending the exhales.
Which is encouraging a deeper sense of relaxation within the body.
With the nervous system.
Taking 3-5 more slow deep breaths here.
So that you can transition out of the pose in your own time.
Pausing with the legs extended along the mat and the arms down by the side.
Just a few breaths before we move to the opposite side.
There's no heart in here.
When you're ready.
Move the hips over to the right.
Legs come down to the bottom left.
The mud.
The upper body comes to the top left.
Taking the banana shape on the opposite side.
Stretching down the right side,
So we're stressing the tissues on the right side of the body.
Compressing the tissues of life to death.
Your focus back to the breath.
With each exhale.
Trying to notice.
If someone suspects you.
Try to follow it as the breath leaves the body.
Before the next inhale begins.
Take a few more slow,
Deep breaths here.
Enjoying the last moments of this position before you come to your Urdhva Samadhi.
Welcome to stay in relaxation for as long as you need to.
Again,
Focusing your attention on the exhales.
Thank you for practicing with me today.
