invigorating spring practice

OM OM OM

Stand in Mountain until you feel within your body fully. Breathing steady.

Move into Tree pose balancing on your left foot. Let the Tree blow and move freely. Practice on each side with steady breathing.

Practice 6 rounds of Sun Salutations with steadiness.

Move into Crane pose balancing on your left foot. Then take Warrior 3 on the same side and fold into the Standing Splits. Take forward fold. Pause in Mountain and practice on the other side. Let your awareness guide you.

Bringing your arms into Chest expansion and then rising into Garuda on each side. Balancing without over effort and grasping. Keep it simple. Follow your breath.

Back to Mountain then moving into Triangle pose and Revolved Triangle into Pyramid. Flowing through a vinyasa and switching to the other side. Feel strong, steady and awake. Back to breath....

Squat and take Garland pose holding long enough on each side to open new territory....feel expansion and breathe into it.

Jump back to stick pose and hold for several breaths. Feel warm, solid and engaged. Move into upward dog and downward dog and childs pose. Practice several rounds of this.

Standing in Mountain step your right foot back and take Warrior 2 then reverse Warrior and vinyasa. Practice on each side like this twice.

Bring your arms up and move into powerful Warrior pose with grounded front heels and reaching fingertips. Breathing into your rib cage feel the space you are opening.Vinyasa afterwards. 3 times like this.

Step back into stick pose pausing then lowering to ground and move into Locust. Practice 3 times without hardening into it. Empty each exhale fully.

Bow pose next with a light lifted feeling. Sink your tailbone and lift your limbs. 3 times.

Sitting now with your legs extended forward take seated forward fold and breath your back lungs wide open. Stay here for awhile. Empty empty empty.

Roll to your back and take Happy Baby! and smile. Then knees to chest and smile again:)

OM OM OM
