Cultivating a Practice - Day 1 (34 min)

On Day 1 props you will need: a mat, block(s) I'm demonstrating with two but you can use one or maybe none. Supports for sitting and savasana (relaxation): a chair, meditation cushion, block and blankets, bolster, eye covering.

We practice sitting and sounding bhramari pranayama, "spinal waves" - a sequence of movements through the torso including flexion, extension, lateral flexion and rotation. Standing poses: virabhadrasana 2 (warrior 2) and utthita parsvakonasana (extended side angle pose). Lunges, adhomukha svanasana (downward facing dog), knee plank, cobra push ups, bhujangasana (baby cobra variation), forearm push up, dandasana (staff pose), baddha konasana (bound angle pose), seated beginning meditation, savasana (corpse pose). Reminder - the video ends as we settle into savasana, it is not timed. So you may want to set your own timer or just free style it!
