Hello and welcome to Feel Good Morning Yoga.
This practice will gently wake up your body and help you start the day feeling your best.
Let's begin in Child's Pose.
Come to sit on your feet.
Bring your big toes together and open your knees nice and wide.
Rest your belly between your thighs.
Stretch your arms in front of you.
Release your forehead down.
Soften your shoulders away from your ears.
And begin to connect to your breath here.
Breathing in and out through your nose.
Watch the flow of your breath as you inhale.
And the flow of your breath as you exhale.
And start to deepen the rhythm of your breath.
Feel your belly and your chest expand as you inhale.
And as you exhale,
Soften and sink deeper into this pose.
And take a few more full deep breaths here.
And we will gently release.
Take your time coming into a tabletop position.
Align your wrists under your shoulders.
And your knees under your hips.
Spread your fingers wide.
And then tilt your pelvis,
Drop your belly,
Open your chest for a Cow Pose.
Take a deep breath in.
And as you exhale,
Curl your tailbone under around your spine for a Cat Pose.
On your next inhale,
Lift your tailbone,
Lower your belly and open your heart.
And exhale to round.
Continue to move in this way,
Flowing through your cats and cows with your own rhythm of breath.
And when you're ready,
Slowly come back to a neutral spine.
And then come all the way down to your belly,
Resting on the forearms into Sphinx Pose.
Palms face down.
Gently press into the tops of your feet.
Tuck your tailbone.
Draw your shoulders back and down,
Lifting through your heart.
And you can stay here.
Or you can begin to gaze over one shoulder and then the other.
Just finding a little bit of movement in the neck here.
And then release.
Plant your palms to the floor underneath your shoulders.
Tuck your toes.
And then push the ground away from you and send your hips up and back for Downward Facing Dog.
Bend your knees generously and begin to pedal your feet,
Straightening one knee at a time.
Maybe find some movement in the hips here,
Swaying from side to side.
And find stillness here.
Take a deep breath in.
And as you exhale,
Roll forward toward Plank,
Stacking your shoulders over your wrists.
Lower your knees to the floor.
And bend your elbows halfway for Chaturanga.
And then press up into Upward Facing Dog or Cobra.
Open your chest,
Inhale deeply.
And exhale,
Tuck the toes,
Push the ground away,
And send your hips up high for Downward Facing Dog.
And then walk or step your feet forward toward your hands for Forward Fold Position.
As you inhale,
Lift your torso halfway,
Elongate your spine.
And exhale,
Fall down and release.
Option to bend your knees.
Ground down into your feet.
On your next breath in,
Rise up into standing,
Arms reach up.
And exhale,
Open your chest,
Push the ground away,
And send your hips up high for Forward Fold Position.
And exhale,
Connect the palms in front of your chest.
Inhale,
Reach the arms up.
And exhale,
Hands to your heart.
Thank you for joining.
Have a beautiful day.
Namaste.
