Whether you’re feeling stiff from sleep or just need a moment to breathe and reset, this practice is your space to ground yourself. We finish with a short, peaceful stillness so you can step off your mat feeling steady, capable, and ready for whatever comes your way.

Hello and welcome to Bria Yoga. We're going to start in Sukhasana and then right away switch the cross of your legs so the non-denominate leg is on top.

Your big toes slightly pointed in towards each other. Lift your hips up into bridge. And slowly come back down. Take a deep breath. And then once again, Lift your hips up into bridge, Rolling your shoulders underneath you. Be sure that while you're in bridge, You're not moving your head at all. So you're just looking straight up at the sky. And if you need to look at the video, Come down out of bridge and then turn your head. Set your hips down. Take another bridge or if you want to, You can set up for wheels. So bring your hands behind you and press all the way up into wheel pose.

Hug your knees back and grab the pinky toe sides of your feet and come right into happy baby. If you want to, You can rock side to side here. Maybe straightening one leg and bending it and then straightening the other leg. And bending it and then hug your knees in again. Take some little circles on your lower back if it feels good to you. We'll make our way into our final pose, The most important pose of our entire practice, Shavasana. Do a little scan of your body and see if you're holding on to any tension anywhere and allow yourself to release it. Let go of any controlled breathing and allow any thoughts that come into your mind to just float on by. Try not to think about anything that happened in the past. Don't plan the rest of your day or think about the future. Just be totally here in this present moment. Start making gentle movements in your fingers and in your toes, Rolling out your wrists and your ankles, Reaching your arms up above you, Getting a big stretch before rolling off onto your right side. And slowly pressing yourself up and meeting me back right where we started in Sukhasana. Bring your hands together at heart center. Reconnect with that intention that you set at the beginning of your practice. Remember to be kind. Namaste. Thank you for practicing yoga with me this morning. I'll see you next time.
