Namaste.
Peace and blessing to you.
Happy New Year.
May 2026 offers you space to breathe,
Time to turn inward,
And moments that feel nourishing.
If your day is already full,
Busy,
And a little scattered,
I am so glad you are here.
This short,
Energizing yoga flow is designed to help you to reconnect with your breath,
Waking up your body,
And also find that sense of balance.
Roll out your mat and let's begin.
Let's meet one another in child's pose,
Please.
Toes together,
Knees apart,
Arms alongside the ear,
Head connect toward the earth.
You find your breath.
Connect with it.
One more deep breath right here.
And allow your body to expand and soften with the breath.
Next,
Inhale,
You come up onto your hands and knees.
And exhale,
Go into a spinal circulation.
Any direction first is okay.
Start slowly waking up the body.
Three more,
Please.
Three other directions,
Please.
And as you move and connect to the body,
Know what's happening right here,
Right now.
And how can you be here for yourself without judging?

Pivot your head,
Move it to the left,
Come to Pasaritapadottanasana,
Hold your elbow,
Head hang nice and deep,
And you're dangling your body side to side.
You can hold the back of your head,
Or maybe if you like,
You can inflate your finger and draw your shoulder blade together.
Last breath right here,
And the option you choose,
You choose because you listen to your body.
And then you bend both knees,
Turn back toward the front of the mat,
Get your left knee down,
Get your right leg back,
Sit down onto your heel,
Top of your toes,
Onto the earth,
And bring your left hand onto your heart,
And your right hand onto your belly.
With your eyes closed,
Observe this moment with an open heart.
You are right here,
Reconnect with yourself,
To what matters to you most.
May you carry this moment,
The moment that you finally feel more awakening,
And a greater sense of self.
Join your hands together,
And you bow down toward yourself.
Namaste.
