That sweet sweet satisfaction of Accomplishment as you crawl forward into All fours position go ahead and take one Leg in front An option to give yourself that twist And be reaching the hand up or just Keeping it on the thigh And then you could plant and square It Off Hoping through the front of the hip Flexor and then take it back A little half split if you will [Music] And then come back forward if you would Like you can bend the back leg reach Back behind you to grab a hold of your Foot or your ankle for a quadricep Stretch oh this one always hurts uh Heart's so good though right yeah it's Good awesome let's go ahead and find a Nice lateral lunge like we did in the Beginning class like a wild Cheeto walk Over the other side you did this Go ahead and square it off and find your Nice low lunge back and down take a Twist Breathe into your belly ring out the Weights feel that purification that has Happened through this workout Go ahead and maybe reach back even Further bend the back leg grab a hold of It The quad stretch I know I do feels so Good
Let's go ahead and square off the hands Pull the hips back give yourself that Hamstring stretch Send your body love be gentle And take priority in this time I know You have a busy life and so much to get To but this is so important in your Workout is to cool down is to bring Yourself back to a state of calm From here just go ahead and open up the Legs to a v-sit this is what's going to Help you to stay working out forever to Keep your health at your you know Maximum capacity if you have this time To recover Breathe into it let your hips be soft Maybe you melt a little bit deeper [Music] And more than anything the physical is Important but be able to have that space For your mind to slow down to have a Little bit more Gap in between each one Of your thoughts that's going to help You when life gets challenging and those Big waves come crashing that you're able To just remain this eye of the storm and Handle whatever you've got to handle Ah all right let's go ahead and lay down On your backs so as you lay down on your Backs You can take a supine twist I like to Just draw both knees in but maybe it's Just one leg the the right leg and then You'll drop your knees to the left
And see if you can notice where you're Still like maybe shaky or jittery and That's just that sign again of still a Little excess energy that's not focused Where we want it to be in the body so Again give yourself permission to slow Down when you're ready you can take your Twist to the other side either drop both Knees or take your left knee across the Body I can hear my friends breathing and that Is the sweetest sound to me so if you Don't hear yourself breathing or maybe You have a workout buddy remind each Other through your deep luscious full Breath to let that be your your guide to Stay present and In This Moment From here we're going to finish one Minute of just mindfulness so you could Either take that here laying in Shavasana Or maybe you would prefer to take a seat Maybe in on a cushion if that feels good For you and that's nearby And just as you drop in I invite you to Close your eyes just keep your attention Internal And just be aware of how you feel right Now Most often we always feel really good Really accomplished more relaxed more Resilient proud And as you become more aware maybe of The stressors in your life you can start
Bringing that awareness to weed those Things out And now if we have time we set time Consciously aside each day to do Something playful to do something that Makes us feel good to step out into Nature maybe What is that for you as you just sit Here or lay here in these last moments What brings you a sense of relaxation And play It might even bring a little smile to Your face And ask yourself how can I do more of That how can I call that in and create Time to play We do not want stress to rule Our Lives We want to be the creators of a life That feels good So maybe a hand on the heart a deep Breath in A moment of gratitude for yourself for Showing up I'm so grateful for you for Being here with us when you take care of Yourself that automatically sends a Ripple of positive energy into the space Around you and will help to continue to Elevate your life And feeling that connection to your Breath let that keep you calm and strong Throughout the rest of your day thank You to my girl Sienna in Paris for Holding us down today and big thank you To you for showing up and just being the
